Ana made this half-day trip extremely enjoyable—even if the weather didn’t exactly cooperate. After picking us up—and even getting us a coffee (thank you!)—we got to Peña Palace nice and early before there were many long lines. It was raining and foggy which unfortunately took away some of the opportunities for photos, but the palace itself was still amazing to see throughout. Ana was very thorough in explaining the history and filled us in on a number of other facts about both Portugal and Lisbon and we definitely appreciated that. After we left the palace, we got to see Cabo do Roca which offers amazing views of the coast. We returned to Lisbon right around lunchtime which gave us the rest of the afternoon to explore the city. Was a great way to spend the morning and would recommend to others if you don’t want to take a full day out of your schedule. Here’s hoping you get better weather than we did!
