Explore at your leisure the unique rooms, courtyards, and multicolored towers of this fortress that look like something out of a fairytale with this admission ticket to the Palacio da Pena and its gardens.

Description

With this ticket, you can visit the most iconic castle in Portugal and walk through its labyrinths and colorful rooms. Are you ready to visit the place that has become synonymous with Sintra?

Built in the 18th century by order of King Ferdinand II consort, the Palacio da Pena attracts millions of visitors every year. To access it, it's necessary to cross its gardens through winding paths surrounded by trees and exotic plants. Ferdinand II, a lover of the arts and Romantic style, wished to create this fairytale setting after arriving in Sintra.

Once you reach the top of the hill, the path will lead you directly to the palace entrance. You'll be able to access its interior, exploring its courtyards and towers decorated with red, yellow, and blue tiles and stuccoes. Its combination of neo-Gothic, neo-Mudejar, and neo-Manueline architecture has led to the Pena Palace being declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1995, and it has been a National Monument since 1910.
