Today, we are happy to announce that there are over 300 airports included in the Duckwyn Travel app. This includes every countries' largest airport - at least for the countries that have airports. Our next goal is to ensure that every U.S. State has its largest airport listed in the app. If you are visiting a location and going to an airport that is not included in the app, let us know, and we'd be happy to add it.

Keep track of the airports you visit

Starting today, we are rolling out a new feature that will allow you to keep track of the airports you visit. 30 new airports are available, each with their own collectible sticker. Many more airports will be added soon.

You check-in from an airport the same way you would any Duckwyn Destination, by clicking the check-in icon. Once you arrive at the airport, the icon will appear, allowing you to collect your new sticker. Each airport card will keep track of your visitor log so you can see how many times you've been there and on which days. It's a new fun way to keep track of your travel life. As a bonus, each new airport check-in will add 10 points to your travel experience point total.

Pena Palace: History, Things To Do, and Fun Facts

11/16/2022

0 Comments

 
Today, Pena Palace was added to the Duckwyn Travel app. It was originally built as a small chapel on top of the Sintra Mountains during the Middle Ages.

​King John II constructed a monastery on the site but it was destroyed during the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755. After decades of ruin, King Ferdinand II transformed it into the palace it is today in 1854.


The castle is located outside of Lisbon near the town of Sintra. Its architecture and views make this a castle not to be missed. Plan ahead and book your tickets before you arrive. 

Looking to collect this card and our other travel cards like it? Get the Duckwyn Travel app for your kids. They will enjoy receiving these fun cards and stickers in the mail each month.

Become a Legendary Traveler.
More information including things to do and fun stats can be found on our Pena Palace information page.
