Quinta da Regaleira was such a magical experience! I went on my own and it did not disappoint. The place is absolutely beautiful—full of mystery, charm, and stunning views. It felt like stepping into a fairytale!

Very pleasant visit, even if it's getting a bit crowded. BEMOL: It's more expensive to buy the ticket on this platform than directly on site. Audioguides are abnormally expensive, and should be part of the basic price.

With The Ticket on the Phone I had direct access No need to go through the ticket office I recommend going straight to the entrance. The first walls do not have much to see All the others are worth doing (beware that one side is empty) Ae you can go early in the morning when it opens, there are few people there

Easy to get through the gates at 10am. The place is stunning and clearly signed. There is so much history and beauty beyond the gate

At the time of arrival, we were able to enter with our tickets with ease. We showed up 45 minutes early so we had to wait in a lineup of others who were also early. They control the amount if traffic entering in this way which was appreciated because it was very very busy. The gardens and the palace themselves are stunning. We waited about 30 minutes in line to see the initiation well, but it was so worth it. We both really enjoyed learning about the property and the man who built it via the interactive video and historical timelines that they have on display in one of the buildings
