The Quinta da Regaleria Palace is great - we always recommend it! (Don't know why Airbnb are insisting it's called something else) The gardens are full of incredible features including fairy-tale turrets, grottos, caves, underground tunnels and an inverted tower - check it out! Small children will love it but be careful - there are lots of hazards and bring a torch. In the house there is a floating room and do climb to the top where there are amazing views.

It's a very attractive palace, known as 'the mini Versailles' but the main attraction is Escola Portuguesa D’Arte Equestre, a very special school in the art of horse riding. Every Wednesday morning from May through to October you can enjoy an equestrian show of amazing quality. This tradition was started in the XVIII century and has been kept alive up until today. After the show you are invited into the paddock to pet the horses and take photographs. The beautiful gardens, with its fountains, statues and tiled canals are the perfect setting for the palace and the event.

Parks & Nature

A beautiful romantic castle perched on a hill overlooking Lisbon in the distance. Pena Park has wonderful gardens with exotic plants and an awe-inspiring forest with trees from around the world, in which wild boar roam.
