Reserving online a combined discounted ticket for Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrate palaces in Sintra was a great decision. We skipped the ticket office queue and we could directly enter the palaces without any delay and waste of time. Both palaces are breath taking. It's definitely worth the visit!

The palace is in very good condition after the renovation! We also loved the gardens, which are varied and beautifully maintained. A point of improvement would be the parking zone. We arrived early (9:30 AM) and didn't have any difficulty finding a spot, but when we left two hours later, it was quite a chaos with all the cars looking to find a spot.

I enjoyed every corner and the audio guide was very useful. However, I would like to point out a few problems: it needs more information about the location as we easily drove past the site and there is no clearly visible sign with the name of the farm. There is no information on parking lots for those traveling by car. There is also a lack of information on the website about the accesses and means of transportation available.

Two extraordinary sights in the special Sintra, which you can't/shouldn't really explore in just one day. There are many unique places to visit, not all of which are easy to reach as some of them are at quite a height. The roads are narrow, busy and often one-way. It is advisable to use off-road hiking trails and allow plenty of time to get to the sights. Uber (not all drivers are familiar with the area, which can lead to a destination not being reached), the local cab service and public buses can help. We recommend staying at least two nights and planning your visits to sights very carefully due to the geographical situation and distances. The Moorish castle is very well preserved and breathtaking. Monserrat is a special house in the middle of a spacious oasis. The booking via headout worked perfectly, the tickets could be downloaded on the app even without WiFi.

Purchasing the tickets was quick and seamless. We were able to skip the entry line as ticket holders and walk right in.

Your experience

You don’t need to be a historian or an architectural aficionado to know that Monserrate Palace is a work of art. A summer residence bearing witness to the eclectic tastes of a bygone era with the main halls adorned with alabaster statues and decorative symbols. Ornate details never give the impression of being over the top, reflecting Indian and Moorish influences, that come together to birth beautiful design.

On entry, you’ll receive a map that will allow you to truly get into the skin of the place. The best way to go about your tour would be to start by exploring the garden, through the scenic path. Along this winding path, you will see contrasting sceneries with waterfalls, ruined chapels, age-old araucarias, and palm trees. Home to 3,000 exotic species and separated by geographical areas, the garden offers a lens into the diverse origins of plants in the world.
