About This Tour
The Pena Palace in Sintra is a former royal summer residence in Portugal, the vision of King Ferdinand II who bought it in 1838.
A magical sight, it is a fairy tale palace located on top of Pena Hill. The beautiful building is surrounded by lush forest and sweeping landscapes full of greenery and natural beauty. It’s been a designated World Heritage Site since 1995.
The construction for Pena Palace began on the site of a ruined monastery (the Royal Monastery of Our Lady of Pena). The beautiful and imaginative design reflects features of 18th century Romanticism.
King Ferdinand lived in the palace until his death in 1885 and his second wife then passed the castle to the Portuguese State five years later. The palace was then occupied by King Carlos I and Queen Consort Amelia of Orleans who used it as a summer residence until Portugal became a republic in 1910.
It is now the National Palace of Pena and a major tourist attraction in Portugal, with up to 800,000 people visiting a year.
During this 180 minutes route, your guide covers key stops such as Stop 1, Stop 2, Stop 3. You get historical context, neighborhood orientation, and practical recommendations you can use for the rest of your stay.
