Peak season vs low season

July to August is the peak season in Sintra. Pena Palace is also busy during this time, with many tourists covering the palace along with National and Moors palaces between 10am and 4pm. The weather is fantastic and better than hot summers, where walking to the palace and exploring the gardens may feel like a torcher. However, prices are lower during the low season, making it the perfect time for budget-friendly trips
