The standard departure and return point is Eduardo VII Park at Marquês de Pombal in Lisbon—confirm exact kiosk location and pickup time with the operator 24 hours prior.
Pena Palace can close for maintenance or special events; if closed the operator typically offers an alternative palace or site—check notifications before travel.

Lunch is not included; the itinerary provides free time in Sintra’s center with many cafés and restaurants where you can buy food or pastries like travesseiros.
Sintra became a 19th-century Romantic refuge for Portuguese royalty and aristocracy; Pena Palace was built on a ruined monastery and redesigned as a showpiece of eclectic Romantic styles.
