The Pena Palace, also known as Pena Castle, is one of the most impressive places to see in Sintra, Portugal. Located on a hill in the Sintra Mountains, this palace looks like something out of a fairy tale.
The Pena Palace is a magical place that combines history, architecture and impressive views. Definitely worth a visit! 🏰🌲🌄

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

A bit hidden, but quiet.
Just walk right to the front of the rocks and you'll have a fantastic view of the 🏰.
