Sao Pedro de Penaferrim Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

PLS visit during golden hour 🌅😍🇵🇹

#timetotravel We visited in the late afternoon and managed to catch the golden hour, it was so magical!! 🌅 We took the train from Lisbon to Sintra and called an uber to drive up to the National Palace of Peña, from what I recalled, ubers in Portugal were not very expensive. There is an entrance fee of around $120 HKD but it was so worth it to visit. The red and yellow exterior of the palace is stunning 😍 and this makes the palace unique from other palaces I have seen!! The National Palace of Peña is situated at the top of the peak, therefore it offers a panoramic view of Sintra which is a plus!! #sintra #portugal #境外遊

Must Visit Lisbon 🇵🇹 Pena Palace

We arrived at the Park/garden at 9:20AM on Sunday (the gardens open at 9AM) There was already a line of people buying tickets and a line of people entering the park. Although the line to get into the park was very quick, since security just needed to scan our tickets. 📍Do yourself a favor buy your tickets online, you don't need to choose a date when you are just visiting the park and outer terraces. 📍No need to buy a shuttle bus ticket, the line is longer than the walk up itself. It's a pretty easy up hill walk, that takes about 10-15 minutes. 📍It's a bit tricky to buy tickets for the garden & outer terraces online. But It is worth your money and there is no wait to walk around the outer terraces! 📍I would highly recommend coming to the gardens when they open at 9AM before the line of people starts. When we were leaving the castle terraces, the line was super long around 10:15AM After visiting the castle terraces, we walked around the garden. There are some nice viewpoints like Elizabeth's hights. We went to the farm area, but we didn't see any animals which was disappointing. If you follow these tips you will also have a nice trip like we did.

Pena Palace, a fairytale palace in Sintra

#newyearadventure The Park and National Palace of Pena in Sintra is one of the most beautiful palaces in Europe. The palace was built on top of Serra de Sintra on the site of a former monastery built in the 16th century. In 1838 the monastery was acquired by King Fernando II. He was the main driving force behind the construction of Pena Palace by refurbishing the old buildings and constructing a new wing. The palace served as a summer palace for the royal family. Be prepared to send at least 2 hours there as the palace is huge and if you have time you should also spend some time at the beautiful park around the palace. Buy your tickets online to save 5% and save time queuing at the gate. #portugal #sintra #lisbon #palace #unesco #penapalace #monastery #fairytale #tripblazers

Day trip to Sintra and Cabo da Roca

#newyearadventure Sintra is a UNESCO world heritage site in Portugal famed for its historic palaces and castles. It is about 50 minutes from Lisbon by train so you can easily make a day trip to Sintra while you're in Lisbon. We visited Pena Palace, a fairytale palace built in 19th century, and Quinta da Regaleira, a neo-gothic mansion with the iconic initiation well. We had lunch in Sintra town centre and thereafter travelled to Cabo da Roca - the westernmost point of mainland Europe. It may be cheaper to go from one location to another by Uber or other ride hiring platforms instead of hiring tour guides touting outside Sintra train station. The tour guide we hired charged us 35 euros per pax by fetching us from point A to point B. #portugal #sintra #lisbon #palace #mansion #unesco #penapalace #regaleira #cabodaroca

Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra 💝

Me and my family went to Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal! We spent a beautiful morning going trough the park where you can see different sculptures, towers, etc! Truly romantic and outstanding! A must if you visit Sintra!

🇵🇹 Quinta da Regaleira, the most Beautiful Mansion in Sintra

A visit to Sintra is not complete without visiting Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most beautiful estates classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra". Quinta da Regaleira is a neo-gothic mansion designed and built in the late 1800s. The major attractions of the mansion are its picturesque gardens and the iconic initiation well. The initiation well is not a real well as a source of water. It is an underground tower in the Quinta da Regaleira built for ceremonial purposes. It consists of a 27-metre spiral staircase about 6 storeys high. At the bottom of the well are two main tunnels, one of which leads to the outdoor garden. It was truly a surreal and magical experience walking down the well and through the tunnels! Tickets prices: Child (up to 5 years old) Free Young (6 - 17 years old) 6 € Adult (18 - 64 years old) 11€ Senior (65 - 79 years old) 6 € Senior + (from age 80) Free 📌Quinta da Regaleira 📍R.

Take a look at the end of the world from Lisbon to Cape Roca

"Roca" means rock in Portuguese. The famous Portuguese poet Camões's famous verse "The land ends here, the sea begins here" originated from here. "Onde a terra acaba e o mar começa" . 📍38°47'N 9°30'W 🗺️On the world map, the territory of Portugal is like a barge moored at the edge of the European continent, and Cape Roca is that beautiful porthole. 🌊Listening to the waves crashing on the shore here, watching the sunset and sunset, you will think of the lighthouse keepers who accompanied the deep breath of the Atlantic day and night, looking forward to the day and night, hoping that the explorers who are sailing far away can bring new hope to this soon-to-be-fallen kingdom one day. 🇵🇹The Catholic monument faces the blue Atlantic, with the geographical coordinates of the westernmost point of the European continent engraved on it, and that verse that has been passed down through the ages, interpreting the Iberian Peninsula's deep affection for the sea. . . 🔖trip info 🚗：Self-driving or taxi, it takes 1h to come from the city, it is very cheap to hit bolt in Portugal, one way 30💶 🔍：Estrada do Cabo da Roca s/n, 2705-001 Colares 🍽️：There is only one small restaurant on the mountain that is open, the things are average, the price is not expensive, you need to consume to go to the toilet, the scenery outside the window is very good. 🕶️：The wind is strong by the sea, dress warmly, do a good job of sun protection, the sun is dazzling, can't do without sunglasses

End europe #summervacation#beachvacation

Cape Rocca: the westernmost point of continental Europe. Some people say that this is the place where life must go once. The famous poem of the Portuguese poet Carmons: "Onde a terra acaba e o mar comea". Because of this sentence, I not only went once - the first time was sunset, the second was sunny morning. The hovering of the Atlantic is enough to reminiscent of the Portuguese fleet that once smashed the sea.

🇵🇹 Cape Roca, the Westernmost Point of Continental Europe

Cabo da Roca or Cape Roca is a cape which forms the westernmost point of continental Europe. It is about 20 km and 30 minutes drive from Sintra. The cape is famous for its spectacular steep cliffs rising 140m above the Atlantic Ocean. On the highest point of Cabo da Roca stands a 22-m lighthouse built in 1772. It was very windy at the cliff during our visit. We also witnessed an approaching storm over the sea. Keep in mind not to climb over the fences as there have been a few accidents in the past where people fell to death while taking photos near the cliffs. 📍Cabo da Roca Estrada do Cabo da Roca s/n, 2705-001 Colares, Portugal Music: Hawaii Vacationy Musician: TVARI #grouptravel #portugal #sintra #lisbon #cabodaroca #cape #cliff #lighthouse #tripblazers #europe #mytripvlog #panorama

7 Things to Know Before Going to Roca Cape｜You should always come to the westernmost point of the Eurasian continent to watch a sunset

At 38 degrees 47 minutes north latitude and 9 degrees 30 minutes west longitude, this is the westernmost point of the Eurasian continent🧭 Without the song of seagulls circling and the warm, soft white sand, under the rugged cliffs covered with wild grass, the Atlantic Ocean is rolling with surging waves and rising water vapor from afar🌊 The last ray of sunlight on this continent falls here every day. "The land ends here, and the sea begins here." This is the deepest confession of Portuguese poet Camões to Roca Cape. Every soul longing for freedom must love this desolation♥️ 🌟A few small things to check in at Roca Cape🌟 1⃣️ Chase the last sunset of the Eurasian continent every day🌄 When the sky turns orange, it is the last sunset on this continent every day. 2⃣️ Buy a "Arrival at the westernmost point of Europe" certificate📄 But, be sure to do these things before sunset😉 Because the souvenir shop closes before it gets dark. 3⃣️ Visit Pena Palace 20 kilometers east of Roca Cape🏰 Standing on the top of the mountain, Pena Palace is just like a fairy tale - crossing valleys and forests🌲, walking through the greenery supported by giant trees, next to the mossy old tree roots, the wild flowers on the roadside are vying for beauty🌺, turning a corner, a colorful castle suddenly appears. The hodgepodge architectural style combines Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish, and Manueline styles all together. Having visited many palaces and castles, Pena Palace is undoubtedly the most brilliant one. 4⃣️ Visit the Moorish Castle🛤 Adjacent to Pena Palace, this castle built by the Arabs witnessed the turbulent dynasty changes on the Iberian Peninsula. 5️⃣Little knowledge about Roca Cape you must know⛵️ 600 years ago, Prince Henry's expedition team bid farewell to the land from Roca Cape, crossed the devil's sea area Bojador Cape, and opened the chapter of the Portuguese maritime empire⚓️. Before that, the desolate Roca Cape was the end of the known world. Across the sea, it is the distant east coast of the United States🇺🇸. Before encountering that other continent, the blue unknown was the only master of this domain. At that moment, you will understand that in front of nature, time flows slowly in billions of years. Standing on the cliff, it always makes people feel that those troubles belonging to life have suddenly become one in a billion. 6️⃣Visiting time🕙 ▪️It is recommended to arrive one hour before sunset and enjoy the last sunset of the Eurasian continent here every day. ▪️The recommended tour duration is 2 hours (excluding Pena Palace and Moorish Castle) 7️⃣Arrival transportation🚗 ▪️If you are just going to visit Pena Palace and Moorish Castle in Sintra, you can easily reach by self-driving and public transportation. ▪️If you go to Roca Cape to watch the sunset, it is more recommended to drive from Lisbon. There is less return transportation after sunset, and you may encounter the embarrassment of not being able to return to the city.
