Penha Palace (Palacio da Pena)

5.0/5 (1 ratings)

Gardenvisit Editorial

Palácio da Pena (or Castelo da Pena) was begun in 1839, when the King Consort Dom Fernando II of Saxe Coburg-Gotha purchased the former Hieronymite monastery of Nossa Senhora da Pena. It was built in a hectic-romantic style and surrounded by a gardenesque park and garden, understandably popular with tourists.

Address - Palácio da Pena, Sintra, Portugal

I cannot say enough about how breathtaking and amazing this place is. It is not, however, for the faint of heart nor failing of strength. Worth the unnerving 2€ bus ride up, worth the 16€ ticket price, worth all the walking through the enchanting forest garden.

It does not get any better than this. I would wait until kids are aged ten and up so that they will remember it, and I would go before you get to age 60 so you can still do it, but go, go now, this year. It is wonderful.
