The Pena Palace stands at the top of the Sintra mountains. It is actually possible to see it from as far as the highway leading to Lisbon, depending on the weather, but it is definitely possible to see it from Sintra city center. The beautiful palace features colorful tones of yellow, red, and blue and makes for fantastic pictures. The palace is surrounded by vast gardens, which are also accessible to guests and worth the visit. You can purchase tickets to enter just the gardens, just the palace, or both. I highly recommend doing both. It is very difficult to get to the palace by car, so I recommend taking one of the buses (very easy to locate in the city center) or a Tuk Tuk which tends to be about 5€ per person. Make sure to come early, as this is a faily known tourist attraction and can get extremely busy; especially in the warmer summer months.
