  Pena Palace timed entry

  15 Mar – 31 OutReserve cedoLotado

  Entry to the palace interior is a half-hour slot bought in advance and enforced to the minute. From April to October the slots go days ahead, and the park ticket is not a way round it. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Easter week

  29 Mar – 5 AbrPáscoa e Semana SantaLotadoFechamentos

  Good Friday is a national holiday and Easter Sunday a day for family lunches. Many Portuguese take the week around it off, so hotels fill and rates rise for the first busy spell of the year, and some shops and museums close on Friday and Sunday. Fonte ↗

• Temporada

  Mist on the serra

  15 Mai – 30 Set · normalmenteTemporada de neblinaRisco

  The ridge makes its own weather: Atlantic cloud catches on it and Pena can be inside a grey wall while Lisbon half an hour away is in full sun. Mornings are the worst of it.

  Out of season on the hill

  15 Nov – 28 FevFechamento de baixa temporadaFechamentos

  Shorter palace hours, no queue for anything, and a village you can actually walk through. The trade-off is Atlantic rain and a serra that spends a good share of the winter in cloud.
