Everything was perfect, we received the tickets in our email and on the app moments after purchasing. We arrived at the palace, they scanned the barcode, and that was it. Plus, we got them 3 euros cheaper than at the ticket office.

What I liked most was Quinta da Regaleira, a place to get lost in all the mysteries that surround it. I don't understand why they don't sell tickets just for that; they make you buy the Palace ticket as well.

Highlight for me was the initation well that looks so strange with its underground tunnel network and Templars connection, as well as the very impressive state rooms of the national palace!

Thoroughly enjoyed the National Palace in Sintra. The free audio and displays were easy to access and very enjoyable. Stimulated our own further reading especially around Phillipa of Lancaster seeing as we are from Lancaster UK. The Routes around both Palaces were planned out well, we were glad to avoid a large tour group with our own audio. We took a Bolt taxi to Pena palace from the other side of the village. We walked back via the Moor castle. The path was clear had new huge steps on much of the first area near Pena. Thankfully it was all downhill. Arrive in time to view the Moor castle as you have to leave by 6pm. The castle itself is very step. Do note: sadly none of the castles considered disabled access, although Pena had a bus for €4.10 to get up from the entrance to the castle archway. However there was a steep ramp up inside through the tunnel to the first courtyard on cobbles and lots of stairs inside.

A wonderful experience at the Monserrate Palace and Park. The exotic gardens and the beautiful architecture of the palace are truly impressive. Headout's fast track entry worked perfectly and saved us a lot of time at the entrance. A highly recommended visit!

See two very different sides of Sintra in one go: explore the rooms of a centuries-old royal palace, then escape into Monserrate's exotic architecture and gardens.

Getting started

Start at either attraction and present your valid ticket at the entrance. At the National Palace of Sintra, head inside for a self-guided visit at your own pace. At Monserrate Palace & Park, use your fast-track entry to bypass the regular ticket queue, then access your audio guide in Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French before exploring the palace and gardens.

What to expect

National Palace of Sintra

Right in Sintra's historic centre, this palace was shaped and expanded by Portuguese monarchs over centuries. Its rooms tell the story through painted ceilings, royal symbols, decorative tiles, and grand spaces once used for banquets, receptions, and court life. Look out for the palace's famous twin chimneys before heading inside to explore.

Features:

Look up in the Swan Room: Enter the palace's largest room and look up at its famous ceiling, decorated with white swans. This was once the setting for royal banquets, receptions, concerts, and other major court occasions.

Count the Magpies: Head into the Magpie Room and spot the 136 birds painted across the ceiling. Once used for royal audiences, the room later became a space for banquets.

Find Portugal's noble families: Don't miss the Room of the Coats of Arms, where the royal family's symbols sit alongside the coats of arms of 72 leading noble households.

Monserrate Palace & Park

Monserrate feels like stepping into a completely different version of Sintra. Shaped into its present form in the 19th century by Francis Cook and architect James Knowles Jr., the estate combines Romantic architecture with gardens filled with plant species from around the world. The result? An exotic palace surrounded by an equally interesting park.

Features:

Explore the palace interiors: Walk through spaces including the Atrium, Central Gallery, Dining Room, Library, Music Room, Kitchen, and Bedroom Gallery, each adding another layer to the palace experience.

Don't miss the Music Room: Step into the palace's main social hall, designed with excellent acoustics and once used by the Cook family and their guests for musical entertainment.

Wander through gardens: Follow winding paths through the Fern Valley, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, and other themed spaces, stopping at sights like Beckford's Waterfall and the Indian Arch.

Skip the queue & listen as you go: Use your fast-track entry to get past the regular ticket queue, then explore with the included audio guide available in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.
