I thought the Palace was "wow" but it's not. It's beautiful, well preserved inside, with some parts under renovation, but the outside needs maintenance. Difficult to access.

I really liked the Pena Palace, but not the Moorish Castles. Very tiring with difficult access. I didn't think the combo was worth it

A fantastic trip, the palace and the views from it is unreal. Everything went smooth. My only complaint would be I didn't realize I would need ear phones and then wasn't able to sync the audio with actual tour in real life. But that's probably me being not very tech savvy.
