Quinta da Regaleira was easily one of my favourite places to visit in Sintra. I especially enjoyed strolling through the huge gardens, with their winding paths, towers, hidden grottoes and views of the surrounding mountains. There’s so much to see that it’s worth taking your time rather than rushing from one attraction to the next. I also liked learning that a lot of thought went into the design of the gardens, wells and underground tunnels, with hidden meanings and references to mythology and old spiritual traditions. It makes you look at the whole place a little differently, knowing that so many of the details are there for a reason. The famous Initiation Well is definitely a highlight, but I was just as impressed by the underground tunnels. Walking through those dimly lit stone passages was quite an experience, especially since some of the rough stones almost look like skulls at first glance. A little eerie, but also really intriguing! And as a lovely little bonus, we even came across a cute cat hanging out in the castle gardens, looking completely at home among all the visitors. Such an unusual and memorable place, and definitely worth spending a few hours exploring!

headout is a great app, got me the tickets and kept mr notified, and the tickets were easily accessible in my email. Locations were clearly marked for gaining access to the mountaintop, we took a tuktuk up to the entrance of the castle trail. One thing that the park officials need to do is improve the signage in the area. There is literally not one single sign between the base of the Moorish trails to tell you how to get back down to Sintra. Once in Sintra, no signs for the Quinta de Regaleira! Fortunately we just kept following Google walking maps and got there. Got out my email from from headout and boom there's the tickets. Quinta de Regaleira was amazing and beautiful.

Visiting the National Palace of Sintra was a great choice. It is located right in the historic center, making it very accessible. Its two towering white chimneys catch your eye from the outside, but the best part is inside: the traditional azulejo tile collection is impressive, and the rooms (especially the Coat of Arms Room and the Swan Room) are magnificently preserved. The tour takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and is very smooth and easy to navigate. I recommend buying tickets in advance to skip the lines during peak hours. An absolute must-visit if you go to Sintra!

Tucked into the misty hills of Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most enchanting places in Portugal, and I'd even say it outshines Pena Palace. Gothic towers, moss-covered gardens, hidden grottoes: every corner feels like a page from a fairytale. The highlight is the Initiation Well, a 27-metre spiral staircase descending into the earth, rich in Masonic symbolism. Dark tunnels lead from its base to a waterfall and a quiet lake. My friends from abroad were spellbound. Go early in the morning, bring a small flashlight for the tunnels, and take your time. Truly a must-see

The Moorish Castle itself was great. Awesome to see how the Moors built the casket and learn the history. However Sintra tourism should make some changes They advise to go to the Pena Palace first early before the lines which we did. However to then get to the Moorish Castle you neeed to go all the way back down to the town on the bus and then back up. They should let you go to the Moorish Caskte first in the am and then go to the front of the line when at the Oen la Palace. It would save a lot of time

The tickets were sold out the day before so I was very happy to get them and visit this crazy place. The views from the various towers were really good. That well was way more interesting than I expected. Be sure to go late in the day when the line is short. There were tunnels and waterfalls and a palace and towers and circular staircases. It was full of surprises and I loved it. Be sure to book tickets! It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Sintra train station and it's mostly flat.

Quinta da Regaleira was one of the most evocative experiences of our trip to Portugal. A truly unique place where the palace, gardens, caves, underground passages, and initiation wells intertwine to create an almost magical atmosphere. The part that impressed us the most is definitely the garden: it's not your classic palace visit, but a real exploration, with hidden corners and completely different landscapes as you move along. The Initiation Well is spectacular and absolutely worth the visit. I recommend dedicating at least 2-3 hours to the visit, wearing comfortable shoes because there are several paths, staircases, and passages to cover. A fascinating, original, and out-of-the-ordinary place that definitely deserves to be included in your Sintra itinerary.

Entry was quick and without any waiting; we got the tickets for the first slot in the morning, which is when it's least crowded. It's worth walking through the gardens of Quinta da Regaleira, and then we went to the Pena Palace and walked around the palace grounds. If you like furniture, there is a ticket option that includes a visit to the rooms. There are shuttles that take you from Quinta da Regaleira to the Pena Palace for €10 per person, and they take you door-to-door.

If you ever dreamt of a magical place, well this is it! Quinta da Regaleira is by far one of the most fascinating place in Sintra. The castle, the history behind it and the well will captivate your soul and imagination. I have visited Sintra twice in 6 years and Quinta da Regaleira is a must-see on everyone's list. Book in advance, head there and be ready to be enchanted by its aura.

To order tickets for a tour of Pena Palace & Moorish Castle. The gardens walking up to the palace are beautiful! We loved the unique charming & colourful palace. The views from the top of the palace are awesome. We liked the gift store where we bought a souvenir book. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the Moorish Castle, but had a gret view of it from the palace.
