Our experience begins and ends at the designated meeting point, where we’ll kick off with a journey to explore the charming town of Sintra. At our first stop, guests will experience life in a medieval village of high economic, social, and cultural significance. You’ll also get a chance to view the façade of the Summer Palace of the Portuguese Royal Family, which stood as the royal residence until the early 20th century. You’ll visit the stunning Castle of the Moors, a landmark that stands proudly over the town, and taste Sintra’s exclusive sweets: Queijada and Travesseiro, local delicacies that offer a sweet bite of history.
Next, we’ll head to the famous and iconic Pena Palace, often compared to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany due to its fairy-tale appearance. This palace, built by King Dom Fernando II in the mid-19th century after his marriage to Queen Maria II, offers a surreal experience. The castle is set amidst lush gardens that resemble a small Eden and offers spectacular views of Sintra mountain and the surrounding area. Guests will explore the palace’s beautiful rooms, each with its own theme, and enjoy panoramic views of the Sintra mountain range, the coast of Cabo da Roca, and the golden beaches of Guincho, known for its popularity among surfers who perfect their skills on its waves before tackling the mighty surf of Nazaré.
Finally, we will stop in the picturesque town of Cascais, often called the "hidden pearl of the Atlantic." Cascais has a rich history as a fishing village, dating back to the 14th century when it was founded by royal decree under King Dom Pedro I. It remained a fishing hub until the arrival of the Portuguese royal family in the 19th century. King Dom Luís and his wife Dona Maria Pia de Saboia transformed Cascais into a summer retreat for the royal family and the Portuguese nobility. With its charming fishermen’s houses, sun-drenched beaches, and stunning Atlantic views, Cascais exudes a unique charm. During World War II, European kings in exile chose Cascais as their refuge, boosting its popularity among the rich and famous. Guests will have the opportunity to stroll through this idyllic town, visit its quaint spots, and enjoy a leisurely lunch by the sea.

Some people told me it's not that good, but I think it depends on the weather. It was a good day so I really enjoyed it. However there is no point using the shuttle bus if you are worrying about the "30 minutes walk". It didn't take us 30 minutes. I am collecting tile patterns in this trip and it full of beautiful tiles!

The Pena Palace is absolutely stunning! I chose to visit only the exterior since our guide mentioned that the interior is quite narrow — apparently, the corridors are about as tight as a bus aisle. It’s definitely a must-see when visiting Lisbon and Sintra. Tip: buy your ticket in advance — you get a small discount. If you’re planning to see the inside, be prepared for long queues. To get there, you can either hike up the mountain trail (around 40 minutes) or buy the hop-on-hop-off bus ticket (~€13.5) which is valid all day for Sintra’s attractions. There are also tuk-tuks, but I’ve heard there are lots of scams, so I’d personally avoid them. I took a Bolt/Uber instead — it cost me only about €6 to reach the top. From the palace entrance, there’s still a 15-minute uphill walk to the palace itself, but you can take their shuttle bus for €4.5 if you prefer. I walked up and enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way. On the way down, I also chose to walk — the forest and park surrounding the palace are absolutely magical. When I return to Portugal, I’ll definitely spend 2–3 full days in Sintra just exploring all the castles hidden in the forest — they’re true hidden gems!

Nice place to visit if you are in the area (Sintra, Cascais, Lisbon). To be honest the castle inside is not something that you havent seen before and not that great so if you dont want to pay the extra you can just buy the park ticket and you will still be able to visit the castle from outside. I highly advice buying tickets in advance and be at least 30 minutes early if you buy the ticket for the castle with fixed time for entry.

Following the advice online we only purchased garden tickets and had a really lovely day out. We got the train from Lisbon, walked up the hill from the station (which was tough but fun) and entered the gardens. Walking around the palace was a bit crowded but not too overwhelming, and walking around the gardens we were often alone and it was quiet. So quiet in fact a fire salamander came out to say hello to us. You can also find lots of mushrooms if you look closely. But there aren’t too many exciting plants or flowers. There is a small cafe where we could get a vegan seitan sandwich. There are also vending machines at the entrance but be weary as these took payment but gave no item, still waiting to see if I will get refunded here. We also overheard they served coffee with no actual coffee, only milk. So perhaps plan ahead and take a packed lunch. It seems they sell hundreds of tickets per session to enter the castle and the queues are long, but the gardens are recommended for exploring at your own pace.

The structure is amazing. It is a combination of romanticism, moorish, and gothic architecture. Going inside the rooms Was ok, but not necessary. There is very little customer service in the park. Be aware, you cannot drive to the top. It is illegal. You should park at the bottom of the hill and take a ride up. This is an issue. Well worth the visit, the communication leading up to the visit wasn’t clear.
