Although a little touristy at times, there is a great ‘lost in time’ atmosphere that takes you back to a medieval era gone by.

    When we were planning our trip to Portugal, as soon as we saw Pena Palace we just knew we had to visit. Where else in the world can you find such a colorful fantasy palace right next to an old medieval stone castle?  These are the sites of legends and fairy tales. Only 30 minutes out of Lisbon, there is really no excuse to miss it.
