Pena Palace in Sintra

King Ferdinand II’s fantastical jumble of architectural styles is Romanticism on the grandest scale.

About

It’s said that Ferdinand II wanted his summer palace to look like an opera. His grand drama was achieved by imposing his eclectic and opulent taste on the castle’s architects, placing a bright red medieval castle next to a yellow Islamic inspired tower. The interior is just as extravagant, with themed rooms ranging from Middle Eastern to baroque European, decorated in stucco, trompe-l'oeil paintings, and tile. Ferdinand incorporated the lands from several estates into his castle grounds, using their lands to create a sprawling 200 hectare park. With the help of Baron von Eschwege and the Baron von Kessler, Ferdinand imported flora from around the world to create his Romantic park, which is connected to the castle via a labyrinth of paths and narrow roads. Today, the Portuguese government still use this UNESCO World Heritage Site for state occasions.

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
