Step by Step
These tickets for the Pena Palace in Sintra will mark a turning point in your perception of the area. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be struck by the originality of a palace that was originally a 16th-century monastery and which Ferdinand II converted into his private fortress.
It is a palace that perfectly blends Romantic, Renaissance, Manueline and Arabic styles, resulting in a truly fascinating tourist attraction. It is not for nothing that this place is known as ‘the jewel of the Sintra region’.
It also boasts 200 hectares of gardens, renowned for their exotic flora and meandering streams. These were created by taking advantage of the area’s humid climate, which was ideal for the coexistence of 500 species of trees from all over the world.
The ticket also includes access to the Countess of Edla’s chalet. This hidden chalet has a mysterious story to tell, which you can discover very close to the palace. Transport between the palace and the chalet is included.
Pena Palace is about a 45-minute walk from the centre of Sintra; you can also get there by bus from the railway station. Please note that you cannot drive to the palace; a paid shuttle service runs every 15 minutes, taking visitors from the park entrance to the palace. Depending on the availability of this service, you may include it when booking these tickets.
Reviews
- JJ.In the past I heard that this palace had been a monastery, I was a little sad because it really is a beautiful place to make a spiritual retreat. It is surrounded by a splendorous and versatile nature. Even as a palace it was fantastic!
- AA.Wonderful place
- DD.The Da Pena Palace is one of those places to visit more than once!
- II.It is worth visiting the palace, it is very nice. The whole palace is quite exotic. There is versatility of styles, designs and colors. It is a well-made building, well assembled, with taste and ambitious sense of art. I praise the taste of Fernando II.
