Sagrada Familia Fast-Track Tickets - 25/06 123 test

The day visit was very nice, however was disappointed that the fountains were not on which would have made the experience more enjoyable. Another issue that could be improved is to provide seating for those who are seniors or who have physical disabilities, whilst queing to get into the palace. The audio availability could be made more prominent to visitors on entry. The ticket booth for the train was not in the same place as boarding the train, so clearer direction could be given. The grounds, the lake, Marie Antoinette house, Hall of mirrors and the palace itself were well worth visiting along with written information provided. Personally, on the day of our visit there was far too many people to enjoy it fully. Overall a good experience.

Pena Palace is marvellous. We spent roughly two hours in the castle and the park. I love the details of the building, the tiles and other handmade beauties. Between Pena and Quinta we had some time and we decided to take the hiking route down to Sintra. It is doable but proper shoes are important! The route worth the effort: charismatic cliffs on the upper side followed by a botanical garden feeling. Quinta palace promises more than its real value. There is only a small exhibition in the palace, the garden is nice but less interesting after the park of Pena palace. All in all, a perfect day trip from Lisbon. Managable with combination of public transport and a taxi in Sintra from the railway station to Pena palace.

Buying tickets was easy. No problems getting in. Fair price. It’s a shame that you don’t realize until later that you’re not booking through the palace’s official website. When you proceed with the 10% discount on your second booking, you find out that you’re not getting a fair deal. The price is twice as high as booking directly. Too bad.

With the audio guide, you can go at your own pace. Every room is beautiful. Time seems to stand still here. My favorites are the King’s and Queen’s bedrooms, the Armory, the Hall of Mirrors, the Hall of Arts, the Hall of Wars… all of them! At the end, don’t forget to have a cup of coffee or tea. You’ll be able to say you spent tea time at the Palace.

It was a wonderful experience, but you should know that you won’t be able to see everything in the gardens if you walk through them, since there’s so much to see and it takes a whole day to see it all. So be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring a hat if it’s sunny, and a bottle of water (there are taps with fresh water to stay hydrated).

It was overall good experience the place is good but seems like we chose the wrong day weather was not at our side. Fountain show was cancelled and we could not take advantage of beautiful garden due to extremely hot weather condition. Headout ticket buying experience and using it always good.
