Traveling the World #51 (Europe Series) Pena Palace

Hi Steemian,

Today I will be taking you to the final attraction in Sintra - Pena Palace.

今天我會帶你們到在辛特拉一個很受歡迎的景點 - 佩纳宫.

The palace is a popular site for tourists visiting Sintra with its 19th century Roman style architecture similar to Belem Tower. It is situated on top of Sintra mountain top surrounded by forests just like Castle of the Moors. Pena Palace is close to Castle of the Moors which you can find the blog here. If you are coming from Sintra station, it is recommended you take bus 434 which takes you the palace you there is still a bit of walking to do before you get to the ticket booths. As previously advised, wear some comfy shoes.

在辛特拉，佩纳宫是非常受歡迎的而王宮的建築風格有點像貝倫塔。皇宮跟摩尔人城堡一樣有森林圍繞著它而離佩纳宫城堡不是很遠。你可以在這裡看我介紹摩尔人城堡。因為皇宮的位置，遊客可以選擇走路上山但我建議你們搭434號巴士因為這個巴士會停在三個很受歡迎的旅遊景點 - 辛特拉宫, 摩尔人城堡和佩纳宫. 到站的時候你們還要走一段路才到佩纳宫所以建議穿一對舒服的鞋子.

Pena Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. Once we finished our visit at the Castle of the Moors we walked over to the entrance of Pena Palace which was a short walk. As we walked through the forest, you can slowly see the castle appearing as the colour exterior was so eye catching. The first thought that came to mind was it looked like a Disney castle or even Aladdin’s home!

佩纳宫而被列為聯合國教科文組織裡面而是在葡萄牙最主要的景點其中之一。我們參觀完城堡就走到皇宮這邊因為路程不是很遠。在森林走到皇宮的時候，你會慢慢很快看到皇宮因為它的外牆的顏色非常搶眼。第一的感覺就是像迪士尼裡面的城堡一樣或者是阿拉丁的房子。

As we walked through the palace, we were greeted with many interesting arches which looked like lego blocks on some of them. Also looking around, you can see some great views of Sintra. I’ve seen many castles and palaces but this one definately looked one of the most colourful ones around. Everytime you look up, its like a photo opportunity waiting for you (we were lucky for the great weather!)

我們皇宮參觀期間會見到很多有趣的拱門，有點像用樂高建成一樣．皇宮裏有很多地方都看見辛特拉的風景．我參觀過很多城堡和皇宮而這間一定是最色彩繽紛的。每次抬起頭的時候都會覺得是一個最佳拍照的機會 (而且我們很幸運天氣十分好)。

The exterior of this palace was definitely a lot newer than what we saw at the Castle of the Moors which I guess the Palace is for royals back in the days.
