Best Park in portugal

S	Stéphane Fréchette on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great walk in these gardens! Portugal’s nature, hillside and park... majestic ;-)
M	Mattias Hallberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The park area blew me away with a new wonderful sights around every corner. I seriously got all giddy from all the beautiful spots. It was a rainy day but they sell umbrellas and (even better) ponchos at the palace shop. In the end the rain made the park feel even more lush and scared away a lot of visitors so we had the place basically to ourselves! Will come back.
G	Gautham Kumar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful grounds, of perhaps more interest than that Palace itself! Scattered works of contemporary art, clear signposting and eminently walkable trails with plenty of shade make this an excellent outing.
B	Balázs Turai on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the parks of the pena palace is so much more worth than the castle itself. save half the price of the ticket (park only 7.5 € instead of 14 € combined, 2018), and you can still visit the courtyards and terraces of the palace (you only miss the inside rooms) and have the views without the 30-60 min queues (just walk along, they all queue for the interiors). in the park one can enjoy the freedom in the vast area and explore the dozens of interesting places, like temples, viewpoints, warmhouse, lakes and birdhouses. the lake valley entry of the park (backside of the palace) is way less crowded. the castle's cafe is much cheaper than the other cafés in the park, so pack up a picnic there.
G	Giuliano Mignardi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pena park's garden offers an amazing excursion in the nature. There are walkways and earthen paths which lead to the palace, or to the high cross or far away to the chalet. Though not very physically demanding, it's no piece of cake and one should always carry lot of water and some snack (there are no bars nor fountains in the garden, and it's very easy to be walking one hour straight if one is heading uphill). The view is breathtaking, especially from the high cross from where you can see the colorful palace. Entrance costs 7.50€ which can be integrated once already inside if one decides to enter the palace too (thus for an extra 6.50€).
D	Doran Cook on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place. What a Disney Castle would look without the tackiness. Gardens were stunning, even in winter. The whole of Sintra has this special vibe to it, almost like an Alpine village. A definite must-see.
S	Salva G R on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful surroundings, the forest around the gardens are an amazing spectacle, so if you like hiking... Go explore! To enter in La Pena, you need to buy tickets, and there is a ticket office right at the entrance, make sure you go early to try to skip all the tourists buses, otherwise... The experience is not the same. Enjoy!
D	Daniel Alexander on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The palace is very nice to look around. The ticket for inside inst really necessary, the park is enough, and the gardens are big enough to get lost for most of a day. It's very nicely kept and very lush and green.
