At first apprehensive, I mustered the strength to travel alone via train from Lisbon to Sintra. By the end of the day, I made a new friend that I met in the Initiation Well in Quinta de Regaleiira! A truly enchanted place indeed! The lush nature and fantasy-like castle was breathtaking after being in the city-life of Lisbon. Pena Palace was also stunning, I enjoyed the view of the Atlantic Ocean, the city below, and the fresh air from the Queen's Terrace. I rode tuk tuks and walked, enjoying the fresh air. I wandered around the Seteais Palace and saw a hedge maze! I had pastry and croissant in the city center, then shared a taxi to Cascais with my new soul sister! We rode back to Lisbon together. This is a must do experience, I would like to do it again, with no phone (and add the Monserrate Palace & Park)! I felt like Queen for a day, mi castle, tu castle!!! Highly recommend and would so again!

It is a very beautiful place and highly recommended. It is well worth visiting and enjoying its landscapes and monuments. Be prepared to walk a lot, though, so wearing comfortable shoes is essential. I recommend taking the bus up to the site, especially since the path is quite steep. If you walk up, you will probably arrive more tired and use up energy that you will need later to explore Quinta da Regaleira, where there is also a lot of walking. ⚠️ A very important tip: buy your tickets in advance. I do not recommend buying them directly at the venue, as there might not be availability for that day and you risk missing out on the visit. Planning and booking in advance will help you make much better use of your time.

Quinta de Regaleira was one of the highlights of my trip! The estate is absolutely stunning, with beautiful gardens, hidden pathways, mysterious tunnels, and incredible architecture around every corner. The Initiation Well was especially amazing and something I had never experienced before. Exploring the underground tunnels and discovering all the hidden features throughout the property made the visit feel like a real adventure. There is so much to see and explore, so I would definitely recommend allowing plenty of time rather than rushing through. The combination of history, architecture, nature, and mystery makes Quinta de Regaleira a truly unique place.

This place is absolutely stunning. We made our way to the famous well straight away which already had long queues but it's the standout attraction for this area. A couple of things to note; the staff are very strict on the tour times so you can only enter 15mins before your booking time with one hours grace after. Also, a taxi can't take you straight to the area so you will have to walk from the centre of Sintra (10-15min walk uphill). However, it's definitely worth visiting with lots of opportunities to take stunning photos.

I was able to buy the tickets from one day to the next. In a message, you told me I would have the digital tickets in two hours, but the whole night passed. I sent you an email and you resolved it right away. There were no tickets left at the venue for that day, so I was very happy. We really liked the place and spent several hours connecting with nature and having a blast. Would definitely do it again. Thank you!

We really enjoyed visiting Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra. It is such a beautiful and unique place, with lovely gardens, interesting architecture, winding paths, and hidden tunnels to explore. The Initiation Well was definitely a highlight and something we had never seen before. We enjoyed walking around the property and discovering all the different areas along the way. It has a very peaceful feel in some areas, while others are fun to explore and a little mysterious. We would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Sintra. Give yourself plenty of time to walk around and take it all in—it’s a beautiful place and well worth the visit!

This is a truly enchanting place—so much so that a week after my visit, I dreamed of a magical spot where a mermaid was swimming among moss-covered towers in the middle of the mountains... It’s worth a visit—a unique place that’s far too little-known given just how beautiful it is. I recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the crowds🍀🐌🐞🌼🌲

It's really nice, but it's true that it has lost some of the charm it had years ago when there were fewer people. The initiation well used to be more mysterious, both at its entrance and along the many passageways leading to it. I imagine they've removed all that now because of the crowds. Plus, it's much more expensive now than it used to be. Still, it’s great and a good experience. It’s worth it.

First of all, I have to say that buying the tickets through this website was the best decision we made—everything was a 100 Based on what we saw, in my opinion, Quinta Regaleira was much better than Palácio da Pena We walked up, and the hike was totally worth it—now I’ve got two days of sore muscles, hehe
