Tips from the community

To hell with the yellow brick road; yellow brick castles perched on Portuguese cliffs are where it’s really at. Pena Palace might not be entirely made of bricks, but it is a deep shade of yellow for the most part. That wide spanning pop of gold is accompanied by a few sections of bright red and blue, making this 19th century Romanticist castle quite the sight to behold. It draws plenty of tourists per year thanks to its close proximity to Lisbon — yet feels much farther from the city’s bustling energy. Not to mention, the surrounding town of Sintra is an absolute gem that is worth exploring by foot.
