The Pena Palace is undoubtedly the most complete and remarkable example of Portuguese architecture of the Romantic period, different architectural styles among them Moorish, Gothic and Manueline located at the top of the fully integrated Serra de Sintra.

There was the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Pena there before, site of pilgrimages since the Middle Ages, later in the reign of D. Manuel I, the king who was known by the Portuguese sea epics has a convent built there for the Order of S. Jerónimo, of which he was a devotee, as he built in Lisbon, more precisely in Belém, the 1755 earthquake that destroyed Lisbon and its surroundings, ends up destroying the convent that ends up abandoned with the extinction of religious orders.

D. Fernando de Saxe Coburg-Gotha King Consort who marries the Portuguese Queen D. Maria II, buys the entire area and builds the Pena Palace, with the rehabilitation of the old convent (red buildings) in 1840 and later in 1850. , added a new building, which he named “New Palace” (yellow buildings), having been responsible for its architecture the German Baron Von Eschwege.

Reviews Tripadvisor

  Escolhi a Walkborder porque gostaria de ir a dois Palácios que geralmente outras excursões em grupo não vão. Um dos palácios era o Palácio de Mont Serrat. Assim que informei... read more o motorista Carlos que tinha escolhido este Palácio ele passou a se queixar que lá era difícil de estacionar e sugeriu que deixasse a gente no centro e que eu e meu marido fóssemos de Tuk tuk até este palácio. Porém quando conversei com a agência pelo Whats app a agencia me havia infomado que este Palácio era uma opção. Pedimos que ele nos deixasse no palácio, então ele informou que deveríamos ser rápidos e que não poderíamos demorar mais do que 1 hora e meia para fazer os outros passeios. Fizemoss o passeio do Mont Serrat as pressas ( o que é uma pena pois o lugar era lindo e gostaría de ficar mais tempo lá). De lá seguimos para a estrada e quando vi já estávamos chegando em Cascais. Quando questionei sobre o ponto de parada do Cabo da Roca o motorista Carlos disse que já havia ficado para trás e que ele não levava os turistas lá a tarde porque não era possível ver nada devido a neblina, porém ele não falou isso no início do passeio e este local estava no itinerário. Quando chegamos ao Estoril informou que tínhamos 2 horas e meia neste local, que apenas tinha uma praia e não havia mais nada para ver e ele for almoçar. Paguei por um passeio particular em que tive que ver apressadamente os locais que mais gostei, em que não foi parado no Cabo da Roca que estava no itinerário, e que fiquei um tempo desnecessário em um local que não havia nada para ver. Fiquei desapontada e não indico este passeio comeste motorista.

  Queria transitar pelas pontes 25 de Abril e Vasco da Gama e , quando vi que a Walkborder disponibilizava um passeio que as contemplava, decidi ir, mesmo... read more que as atrações não estivessem no meu roteiro inicial. Não me arrependi!

Atravessei a ponte Vasco da Gama,cheguei a Se túbal,para conhecer o seu amplo e perfumado mercado municipal, além da ensolarada praça Bocage. A partir dela caminhei pelas ruelas . Passeio feito com calma, na companhia do guia Carlos Rodrigues, perfeito conhecedor do local.

Depois Sesimbra, uma cidade à beira mar, super simpática, com um ótimo restaurante para provar frutos do mar bem fresquinhos: o Pedra Alta.

O final do passeio foi ao santuário Cristo-Rei, um ótimo local para se conhecer Lisboa do outro lado do rio Tejo, com direito à visão panorâmica da cidade.
De perder o fôlego.
A volta à cidade foi pela ponte 25 de Abril.
