Hiking

From this vantage point, a breathtaking view opens up of Pena Palace, which rises majestically above the forests of the Serra de Sintra. The yellow and red walls, towers, and domes create the impression of a fairytale castle emerging from the dense greenery. A magical moment that perfectly captures the romantic atmosphere of Sintra.
