Pena Palace is one of the 7 Portuguese Wonders. It's a beautiful place, full of colors and awesome views. It gets crowed and it takes around 3 hours to see the palace and the park, so make sure you get up early in the morning. It's totally worth it, I can guarantee!

The trip by tram to Praia das Maçãs leaves from here.  As we were informed, some of the departure times were canceled due to lack of trams (deficient maintenance).  A pity because there is a lot of demand.  The trip takes about 45 minutes and takes us through beautiful landscapes.  The return can be made by bus, by taxi or by the tram itself.

A viagem de bonde, para a praia das Maçãs, sai daqui. Segundo nos informaram, alguns dos horários de saídas foram cancelados por falta de elétricos devido à deficiência na manutenção dos mesmos. Uma pena pois há muita procura. A viagem demora cerca de 45 minutos e nos leva por paisagens muito bonitas. A volta pode ser feita por ônibus, por táxi ou pelo próprio elétrico.
