Definitely worth it! If you go on foot, towards both places as I did, be prepared to have sore muscles the next day 😉 At the Moorish castle, it's a lot of clamping, a lot of stair climbing, but trust me, it's more than worth it! It is beautiful! At Quinta da Regaleira it is a lot of walking because it is big, also hilly, so definitely not just flat. The "well" where you would come out as reborn.... I expected a lot from it in the sense that you could walk down for a while quietly.... However, you "have to" keep walking, because if you stand still for too long to have a look or take good pictures, someone will call you to keep walking.... That's kind of a shame. However, it is beautiful there!

The place is beautiful! I highly recommend visiting Quinta de la Regaleira. Quite a lot of hassle around the experience: getting there and back in overcrowded bus was a strain (the bus back takes a huge detour on roads not designed for large buses and that can't easily cross with trafic going the other way, windy roads and driver not considerate of people standing). Entry time: we were one hour early and they wouldn't let us in earlier, so we ended up having to hang around and there is no cafe near the entrance! Lots and lots lf walking, was not prepared for this, no map was given at the entrance. In short, the place is beautiful, but the people managing the visitors experience have a lot of improvements to make!

The Quinta da Regaleira is no ordinary palace, but a journey into a world full of myths and secrets. Between the enchanted paths, the grottos and the famous initiation fountain, you can sense that this place is more than just architecture - it is symbolism cast in stone and nature. The neo-Gothic manor house sits enthroned like a fairytale castle, while the gardens with hidden lakes, secret tunnels and exotic plants invite you to explore. If you take your time, it is easy to get lost in the labyrinth of paths and imagination. A visit here is not just an excursion, but an experience that will stay with you for a long time.

Go on a history lesson as you explore the defensive stronghold of the Moorish Castle and learn about its strategic military role.

Climb up the castle’s watchtower, a fine example of Moorish military design, from where you can enjoy views of Sintra’s hills and more on a clear day.

Discover the architectural wonders of the Quinta da Regaleira, designed by Luigi Manini with a mix of Renaissance, Gothic, and Manueline styles.

Explore the Quinta’s Initiation Wells and grottoes, along with its sprawling gardens that spread far and wide around the structure.

Dive deeper into the histories of these landmarks with the benefit of an audio guide in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.

+ Entry with online ticket went well + kindly an employee let me into the wifi so I could show you the ticket. So very useful wifi at least at the entrance ;-) +/- the garden is very nice and the building too. However the plants didn't look as lush as they could be...and all the plants were like dirty with sand...otherwise all very nice +/-there were quite a lot of people...and in fact at the initiatory well I waited a long time - to get in with the ticket all went well...too bad that to get the audio guide I had to stand in line with those buying tickets and it took me 20 minutes. ...Can't there be a line just for the audioguides? + The audioguide is useful, and all points except 1 were working. I wouldn't have minded more information...especially about all these symbolisms that are being talked about. Very positive overall experience :-), thank you

Stepping along the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle is like touching history itself. The sweeping views of Sintra, the Atlantic, and the surrounding forests are truly awe-inspiring. We visited in the first week of October, when the crowds had thinned and the air was cooler, the perfect setting for slow exploration and quiet reflection. It’s a climb that rewards not only with vistas but with a sense of perspective, a reminder of time’s passage and human resilience. Bring good shoes, a bit of water, and time to simply stand, breathe, and take in the beauty that stretches endlessly in every direction.

It was such a beautiful castle and felt like such a fairytale experience. The timed entries made for a really easy and relaxed entrance into the castle (despite our entry slot being fully booked) and the only place in the castle with queues was when waiting for the Initiation Well, but even that moved quickly (although they do hurry you along to keep the line moving so not heaps of time for photos). We spent about 2 hours exploring the grounds and it was the perfect amount of time to touch all the highlights and make it back into town for some lunch. Can't wait to return!!

The ease of having the combo of the two sites was great and we LOVED our visit. The views were amazing. The Audio portion of the adventure proved to be a challenge with the head out app. We used it successfully with Moorish, but we could not access the Pena Palace. We did however use the FREE audio offered on site. Recommendations would be to arrive at Pena one hour prior to booking time. Once you get in the first gate, tour the grounds and then line up for your scheduled entry tour time 30 minutes before. We thought we were "in the tour" after the first entry point.

This place is beautiful, a very nice garden, especially the fountain "Poco iniciatico". Despite the very long queue at the fountain, things move quickly. The town of Sintra is extremely crowded, even on a Monday in October. You should arrive earlier rather than later. The walk from the center to the gardens takes about 10 minutes and with online tickets you can easily get through the entrance.
