신트라-카스카이스 자연 공원‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Pena Park surrounds the palace like a vast, romantic garden filled with exotic plants, winding paths, and hidden viewpoints. Among ferns, camellias, towering trees, and tranquil ponds, a fairytale atmosphere is created that perfectly complements the palace's architecture. It's a sprawling natural and cultural experience where you can wander for hours, constantly discovering new and enchanting corners.

The view of Pena Palace and Sintra from the Castelo dos Mouros is one of the most spectacular in the entire region. Walking along the castle walls, you'll discover a landscape that blends history, architecture, and nature in perfect harmony.

Cabo da Roca is a spectacular cape located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park in Portugal, known as the westernmost point of continental Europe. Its rugged beauty and remote location make it a very special destination for nature lovers and those interested in dramatic landscapes.

A sanctuary built by popular devotion. High above, at an altitude of 488 meters, the Peninha Sanctuary enchants with its unshakable magic and mystique. Built by popular devotion, the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha (Peninha) arose following a supposed apparition of Our Lady to a poor shepherdess. This architectural complex also includes the centuries-old chapel of São Saturnino and an enigmatic Romantic-Revival mansion commissioned in 1918 by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (owner of Quinta da Regaleira).

I personally recommend climbing up from Sintra (From Lisbon there are many trains). Cycling on those roads gives you amazing landscapes, and from the peak with a clear day it is possible to see the whole of the Lisbon area, from bridge to bridge and much more. No bar nor facilities on the top, all the buildings are closed.

Mythical climb of the Serra de Sintra, from where you can see the entire Cascais coastline.

Secluded golden sand beach reached by a steep path, with huge rock formations around it.

I didn't visit the Palacio National de Pene because the €20 entrance fee is tied to a time slot and you should be there about an hour before the gate opens so you don't miss your time slot. It was too stressful for me 🤔🙂 The Parque de Pene is simply stunning! I bought the entrance ticket (€12) at the Castelo, but you can also buy them separately in the entrance area on site. When you're there, you should leave the wide main paths and follow the narrow, enchanted paths to the individual highlights - the view from Cruz Alto (The Cross) is magnificent! 🤩
