What to Expect
Enchanting Pena Palace
From Lisbon, we will travel to the picturesque Sintra to walk the colorful cozy streets and talk about the history of the favorite city of the Portuguese kings. Then, we will take the mountain serpentine road to the fairytale Pena Palace, perched on top of a mountain. You will admire the lace-like neo-Moorish architecture of the palace, walk through the most beautiful royal halls and rooms decorated in Manueline style, and admire the preserved interiors. Afterwards, you will find yourself in the romantic era palace park with waterfalls, gazebos, rocks, and boulders covered in moss, creating a feeling of touching pristine nature.
Visit the 'Edge of the Earth'
