#Sintra drink table plus

You’ll need at least 2 hours to visit Pena Palace plus travel time. Try to create space in your Sintra itinerary to allow you to explore the surrounding park and woodland at a more relaxed pace. Or visit with an organised tour, like this one.

Otherwise, at least try to avoid weekends and preferably come during the winter months. Tip: If you visit very early in the morning or late afternoon you should miss the worst of the hoards. It is definitely worth the journey uphill but, being one of the most popular things to do in Sintra, expect to find tourists crawling all over the palace and long queues to see into roped-off rooms. Never mind icing on a cake, it actually looks like an extreme wedding cake with its bright colours, teeming with turrets and extravagant architectural details like the famous window (see photo below). The multicoloured icon of Sintra is Palácio da Pena. Be wowed by the fairy tale excess at Pena Palace Palácio da Pena, Sintra, Portugal These are the most popular sights in Sintra but you won’t have time to see them all in just one day so either choose a couple of them or stay overnight.
