A curated journey through the experience
Park and National Palace of Pena
Pena Palace built in the XIV century in the highest place of the Sintra mountain range in the ruins of a 16th century monastery, represents one of the best expressions of the architectural Romanticism in the world. Lovely paths and beautiful walks, small bridges and caves, garden benches, pergolas and fountains. Small houses where guards and other servants were housed. Greenhouses and nurseries with camellias, rhododendrons and roses of unusual and very rare strains. Sculptures, like the warrior who is seen from the Palace, as if to say that he is there to protect and guard it.

1 hourBoca do Inferno
On days of more agitated sea you can observe the waves crashing through the rocks inside, a cave that combines its natural beauty with the rough sea, a very beautiful place, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and perhaps one of the best sunsets, being only overshadowed by infrequent suicides committed on its dangerous and unprotected cliff.
