Parque da Pena

Parque da Pena is a magical landscaped park surrounding Sintra's famous palace. Stretching over 200 hectares, it offers an extraordinary collection of exotic plants brought from all over the world, creating one of the richest arboreta in Europe.

Through winding paths you will reach fascinating attractions: Valley of the Lakes with its charming duck house shaped like a castle tower, the Valley of the Queen Fern or the Temple of the Columns with its distinctive yellow dome.

The Cruz Alta vantage point offers panoramic views of the palace and the Atlantic coast, and on the Alto de Santa Catarina you'll find a throne carved in rock for Queen Amelia.
