Nuestra visita al Palacio da Pena, el Castelo dos Mouros y la Quinta da Regaleira nos encantó. Son lugares realmente hermosos, llenos de historia, paisajes espectaculares y rincones que merecen ser explorados con calma. Eso sí, es recomendable llevar un buen calzado y tener cierta resistencia física si se pretende visitar los tres en el mismo día, ya que hay bastante caminata y algunas pendientes exigentes. Las mejores horas para visitarlos son por la mañana, porque son sitios muy famosos y suelen llenarse de visitantes a medida que avanza el día. Aun así, nos quedaron ganas de más. Sintra tiene muchas otras casas, palacios y castillos que no pudimos conocer en esta ocasión, así que sin duda volveremos para seguir descubriendo todo lo que ofrece este lugar tan especial.

Headout's site & how we got tickets was excellent as I'm not tech savvy and all clearly explained. Re Pena Palace we got Uber to Sintra but then had to make our way to the park entrance to get on the shuttle bus to palace. Was a bit difficult how to get to the park entrance to where the shuttle bus is as didn't know if more than one entrance. In the end we got a TikTok who took us 4 there for €25.....and he was more informative & helpful so we tipped him. The Palace was busy but worth seeing but they could put more signs up to tell people where to go as we had to in the end find things out for us. After finishing we got shuttles bus back to park entrance and then another TikTok back to town as no Ubers willing to come up due to traffic.

Heerlijk hotel, alles super netjes, aardig personeel, 24/7 receptie, goede schoonmaak, heerlijk ontbijt, loopafstand van vele restaurants, metro, rivier de Taag, tuk-tuk voor de deur. Groot pluspunt: bagage kon in locker bewaard worden nadat we uitgechecked waren. Minpuntje : wil je een cappuccino nadat je de ontbijtzaal verlaten hebt, betaal je €4,- pp en restaurant Olive was dicht voor diner tijdens ons verblijf.

Il biglietto salta la fila è essenziale perchè cu ha permesso di recuperare curca 30 minuti di fila oltretutto sotto il sole a quasi 34 gradi. Se non si vuole fare il tratto a piedi dalle porte fino al castello (circa 10 minuti di salita) ricordate di prendere il biglietto con incluso il transfer

J'ai pu acheté mes billets pour le palais de Sintra très très facilement sur le site Headout. Le guidage tout le long de la transaction est d'une grande simplicité, même pour moi qui n'ai pas une grande habitude d'achat sur des sites internet.

J'ai adoré cette immersion portuguaise dans la vie du roi! On pouvait presque les revoir vivre à travers les multiples objets et pièces préservés. Je recommande fortement lors d'un voyage au Portugal!

Absolutely loved our day in Sintra. Definitely worthwhile going to both Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleria. our favourite was Quinta da Regaleria. I feel like we could have spent all day wandering around. Leave time to enjoy time in Sintra. It's a gorgeous town.

Getting started

Head to the main entrance of Pena Park. Depending on your ticket type, show your digital or printed voucher for access.

The Park: Wander through 200 hectares of winding paths, secret gardens, pavilions, and exotic trees from around the world.
