Truly amazing. Make you allow plenty of time to get to the entry as they don't tolerate late arrivals. We were lucky enough to not have the usual mist hanging around and blocking what is the best view back to Lisbon, and to the north, and surrounding places of interest. Can be quite cool here during winter, so bring warm clothing. There is an uphill walk to the Palace itself.

We loved this place! We walked from the Sintra train station for about 1 hour between the Sintra park which was amazing. The climbing is not so hard, stairs or just trails, everything is moist and green so you have no reason to be scared of this. You should consider that by the entrance of the park is about 35 minutes of walk to the Pena palace (in some areas of the park wasn't internet but the signs are very good for orientation). Clean air, shadow and views of the park should compensate the hike!

Some recommendations. Firstly, don't walk from historical Sintra up to this palace. It's a long way and straight uphill. Secondly, we followed the advice of other travelers, went first thing in the morning (arrived before the gates opened) and were super glad we did. This is the most popular attraction in Sintra and so the line to enter the park can get really long. Thirdly, we went in February and it was cold but I can't even imagine how it would be in the heat of summer. On the hike from the park entrance to the palace itself we reflected a few times how happy we were that it wasn't hot. Also, we caught an Uber from our hotel in Lisbon to the park gates. It was quick, cheap and easy. The grounds and palace exterior (we didn't go inside) are really beautiful. Must see when you're in Sintra for sure. From the palace we walked to the Moorish castle (10 to 15 minutes easy stroll). After there we walked downhill to the town of Sintra. Not sure how long it took but it was a really easy walk.
