This palace, which despite its "youth" (it was built during the 19th century) is one of the most beautiful in Europe, stands on an unparalleled natural environment, that of the Sintra Mountains, and is surrounded by a botanical garden in which thousands of species from all corners of the planet coexist.

The Palacio de Pena is located on the top of a hill near Sintra. When visiting it by bike, you only get a glimpse of it from the bottom of the hill. However, when you cycle through the woods of the nearby national park, you will get great views and different angles of the palace.

Look back from where you have come. Early morning light would be fantastic. This pic was just after midday
