Palazzo de Pena Beautiful view and beautiful gardens

Palazzo de Pena, accessible only by car or bus. Better the bus because there is no parking for the car and at a certain time they no longer let you access the road leading to the building. Entrance fee of the inner part 20€ . Couldn't do it because there are staggered entrances by the hour. With 10 Euro you can visit the outside of the palace and the gardens. It deserves to spend this money because you see a lot of things and you have a beautiful view of Sintra and the adjacent hills.

Fantastic experience of Fátima, Nazaré, and Pena Palace

This was the best tour to make use of a short stay in Portugal. Our guide, Flavio, was a very charming and engaging host— as well as a great driver! He had tons of insightful knowledge on the history of these areas. It was timed very well with just enough time to explore each location well without a lot of crowds and during great times for picture lighting. The small tour group size was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about this tour!!

Best part: Sunset in Sintra

Sintra and Nazaré were both breathtaking and worth the visit. Our guide George was very kind and helpful. We would recommend this tour especially if you’re staying in Lisbon for a good amount of days.
