From the moment one enters the Pena Palace in Sintra, the whimsical architecture sets the mood, adding playfulness to an otherwise sophisticated palace.
For a palace that dates back to the late 1800s, the Palacio de Pena is as full of life as a rock star. The vibrant colors, the quirky architectural details, the Portuguese tiles and Arabic archways -- this unique castle exudes personality through its odd yet spectacular combination of styles. It's truly original and worth a visit for anyone staying in Lisbon.
