Additional information on the Pena Palace entrance ticket

The Pena Palace is a renowned building in Portugal, knowledged by UNESCO. Built in the 1800s by King Ferdinand, the palace is a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and even Moorish styles, all mushed together.

It is something out of a fairy tale, with bright colors and fancy carvings everywhere. This kind of building style is called Romantic, which means it is all about feelings, nature and being different.

The park is open every day from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, but you have to enter by 6:00 pm. The palace itself follows the same schedule, opening at 9:30 am and closing at 6:30 pm, with a last entry at 6:00 pm.

How to arrive to the Pena Palace

  1. By Train: Take the Sintra Line train from Oriente, Rossio, or Entrecampos stations in Lisbon. The train ride takes about 40 minutes.
  2. By Bus: From Sintra train station, take bus number 434. This bus stops directly at the entrance of Pena Palace.
  3. By Car: It is not the best idea to drive to Pena Palace because there is not a lot of parking and it can be hard to get there by car. But, if you do decide to drive, you can park in one of Sintra’s designated parking areas and then take a shuttle bus up to the palace.
  4. Walk: For people who like hiking, there are a few trails that start in Sintra village and lead all the way up to the palace. The Santa Maria and Seteais trails have beautiful views, but they are pretty challenging hikes, so be sure you are in good shape if you try them.
