Everything was perfect from start to finish. Bruno, our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and was truly amazing. There is no way we could have seen everything we did without the tour.

It was a very pleasant visit; the garden is huge, and I especially loved the spiral staircase that leads through the grotto.

A beautiful castle with a stunning park, a descent into a mystical well and the tunnels beside it. The sunny day was just an added bonus, making the experience feel like something out of a fairy tale. I definitely recommend a visit.

Pena Palace was a lovely self-tour, incredible views and a sweet yummy restaurant. We walked to the Moorish Castle but it was challenging and exhausting. I wouldn't recommend the visit unless you are super-duper fit. That visit is all uphill+++ a and very windy.

We purchased the the tickets on my phone one evening at dinner. The process was simple and the tickets themselves were easy to access. We took the subway from Lisbon then hopped a bus to the the base of the castle road.it is a steep walk to get there but so worth it! The castle itself is beautiful and the grounds are spectacular. The trail from Penna to the Moorish castle is like walking in a poem. The peacocks even showed off for us! It is. Trip worth making.

What a beautifully magical place! I cannot wait to go back one day. We were there on the full moon. Perfect place to be on a full moon.

The tour wasn't too rushed. We had plenty of time to admire the buildings and the surroundings. Our guide, Camilla, was great; her explanations were very informative, and she was both kind and very knowledgeable.
