    It's an amazing medieval castle on top of a mountain in Sintra, Portugal work views of the fairytale-esque Pena Palace and the entire southern coastline of the country. Amazing can't even describe it!

    Beautiful place, we did not wait in line. We walked up and down. The view from the castle is incredible. You can walk around quietly, without schedules.

    Despite the audioguide, it's not easy to get around the site. Two magnificent places, but very far apart. Suggestions for transport between the two would be most welcome. I'll definitely suggest it to others.

    Magnifique palais 😍! Très bien conservé et très grand jardin exotique. 🌴 Il est plus petit que les autres palais de Sintra mais plus joli et propre avec un joli intérieur. Pas de file d'attente pour entrer, si vous avez vos billets à l'avance vous entrez immédiatement. C'est un lieu loin de la foule mais pourtant très joli.
