Palacio da Pena & Gardens Ticket

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, the Palacio da Pena attracts millions of visitors each year. To access it, you must cross its gardens through winding paths surrounded by trees and exotic plants brought from all continents. Ferdinand II wished to create this fairytale setting after arriving in Sintra.

Once you reach the top of the hill, the path leads directly to the palace entrance. You'll be able to access its interior and explore 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. It has also been a National Monument since 1910 and is part of the European Network of Royal Residences since 2013.
