DURATION: 4.5h
ITINERARY
Departure from Lisbon towards Pena Palace in Sintra (approx. 50min)
Visit Pena Palace (approx. 1h30)
Drive to Sintra's historic centre and stop to wander around the beautiful little town (1h)
Return to Lisbon on the motorway (approx 30min).
NOTE: Pena Palace closes on Jan 1st and Dec 25th.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Pena palace is up a hill. We'll drive till there. However there's a steep road inside the park you might wanna consider if you have mobility issues or get tired easily.
There's a bus transfer inside the park but it gets you close to the palace, not to the entrance.
I'm happy to help finding the best option for you, so please, email me so we can go through these details and other possibilities.
✓ Due to extreme risk of rural fire, monuments in Sintra might be suddenly closed for indeterminate time by legal imposition.
This closure is due to the extension of a contingency situation that can be decreed for the entire territory of Portugal.
The National Palaces of Sintra and Queluz always remain open.
Modern, clean, air-conditioned, very spacious, brand new private 8 seater minivan (up to 7 travellers).
A minibus can be rented at an additional cost - contact me for a quote.
It is extremely important that you mention luggage if it will need to be carried. The minivan is very spacious but if you're carrying large suitcases, carry-ons and backpacks you really need to let me know in advance so that there aren't any surprises and things will work out just fine!
✓ Due to extreme weather conditions, monuments in Sintra can be suddenly closed for indeterminate time by legal imposition due to the extension of a contingency situation that can be decreed for the entire territory of Portugal.
✓ Unexpected governmental special situations or strikes might also affect the well functioning of monuments.
This is beyond my control, unfortunately.
