Sintra: Pena Palace and Park Entrance Ticket - The journey from Sintra to the hilltop

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 17,410 reviews · 1 day · from $11Our pick

Pena Palace ticket review: explore Sintra’s colorful Romantic palace, exotic park, Chalet of Countess Edla, transport tips, crowds, and value.

“A place not to be missed, but to avoid in the summer time. We went in February and it was full of people. Get ready to walk a lot, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. You need to book the Palace and Park Entrance, as it is timed and you need lots of extra time to get there. There are shuttle buses too, but quite expensive.”
