Hi. We got to Sinatra near 12 so we had no plans to see Peña Palace inside anyway. We spent a long time at the Moorish and then decided to walk back and got lost and so then had a late lunch walked around the town and went home. You can see the outside of Peña Palce while walking.
Considering an excursion from a cruise to sintra. Can you see the castle and Pena palace from the town
