A Fairytale Come to Life at Pena Palace 🏰

#hellohalloween Touring Pena Palace in Sintra was like walking straight into a dream. Perched high on the hills, this colorful masterpiece blended Gothic, Renaissance, and Moorish designs into one enchanting spectacle. The bright yellow and red towers stood out beautifully against the misty forest backdrop, creating a magical, almost surreal scene. Inside, every room reflected royal charm and romantic flair. The panoramic views from the terraces were breathtaking, overlooking lush landscapes and the Atlantic Ocean. Truly, Pena Palace is one of Portugal’s most magical and unforgettable landmarks.

🏰 Sintra in the sunshine? Yes please! The National Palace of Pena totally owned my Portugal daytrip—fairytale towers, wild colors, and epic views everywhere. If you love outdoor European vibes (and taking #nofilter photos with a royal backdrop), this spot is essential. Must-See Place: National Palace of Pena Address: Estrada da Pena, 2710-609 Sintra, Portugal Hours: 09:00-18:00 (Closed Jan 1, Dec 24-25, Dec 31) Admission: €20 What’s Cool: The architecture is pure fantasy + you get those sunny panoramic shots of Sintra’s hills and coastline. I explored every colorful angle—from close-up detail hunting to wide shots for that storybook effect. The grounds outside are dreamy for a chill stroll and tons of Insta-worthy moments. Pro tip: Go in the morning to beat the bus tours and catch the best light! My Tips: - Wear comfy shoes, seriously—the hillside is no joke! - Bring water and snacks since food isn’t great inside and gets pricey. - Grab your tickets in advance on trip.com to avoid long lines and set times. - Best photo spots: main terrace and the castle bridges (crowds thin before noon). Getting Around: Take the train from Lisbon to Sintra, then hop Bus 434 uphill (don’t bother walking; it’s steep!). Weather: Even in summer, Sintra gets breezy in the mountains; pack a sweater just in case. Final foodie rec: After your palace adventure, hit up a local bakery and try a travesseiro (almond puff pastry). #SintraViews #PenaPalace #PortugalTrip #tripdotcom
