We went as a day trip with one of the Expedia "Things to Do" - had a great day visiting the Pena Palace, the town of Sintra and stops at a couple of coastal locations on the way back to Lisbon. The Palace is spectacular, but be prepared to do a bit of walking, lots of slopes (small shuttle bus is available within the site but infrequent from what I could see) - views are amazing from the top and you'll be blown away by the architecture - probably as close to a Disney castle as you could get :)

5/5 - Excellent

Need a full day to enjoy it. Lots of steep walking!

3/5 - Okay

Definitely take a tuk tuk or jeep up to the palace from Sintra village and take another back as it is at least a 1 hour walk and then there is the walking around the palace and grounds.

5/5 - Excellent

Good tour but unfortunately the area was clouded in mist until we were leaving. Still worthwhile going to see the town and both palaces

Involved very long queues for everything. Apart from spectacular views, palace itself was disappointing

I took this in March in Sintra, Portugal! It's at the fairy tale castle Pena Palace :). This is one of the lovely close-up views. It's is a Romanticist castle that stands on the top of a hill in the Sintra Mountains. And undoubtedly one of the most iconic places in Portugal. And a dream come true to visit it! It is a national monument and constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in the world. The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. It is also used for state occasions by the President of the Portuguese Republic and other government officials. Thanks to Wikipedia for help ;).
