The Pena National Palace is a Romanticist palace positioned in the municipality of Sintra, Portugal that a tour in Sintra should include.  The palace stands on the top of a hill above the town of Sintra, and is visible from Lisbon and the surrounding area.

A private guide in Sintra can provide invaluable information to tourists.  The palace includes vault arches and an elaborate window for the main facade motivated by the chapter house window of the Convent of the Order of Christ in Tomar.  The palace was converted into a museum and attracts countless sightseers when on excursions in Sintra.  Throughout time colors of the red and yellow porticos faded.  Subsequently the palace was repainted and the original colors were restored.   Pena National Palace is architecturally divided into four sections.
