This place, which I actually had never heard of before visiting Portugal, was an absolute pleasure and a "must see" for anyone visiting Lisbon. Just the trip up the hillside to the castle entrance, including a quick swing through the city of Sintra, was just beautiful. And the castle itself was breath taking. In addition, the logistics were easy to do. Our on-line ticket purchase the day before allowed us an early entry before the site became too crowded. We opted to walk up the hill (there is a shuttle for those who can' or don't wish to make the climb) and found the walk through the surrounding park to be wonderful. Arriving at the castle entry was easy and a self-guided tour allowed us to enjoy whatever aspects of the castle we wanted to see. Something we'd not seen before. Visitors can scan a QR code at the entrance (bring your mobile phone!) and download descriptions of each room, without having to fuss with the headsets and players typically in use. This made the excursion that more enjoyable. As mentioined, if you're in Lisbon, don't miss the chance to visit. It's important to do this with a tour bus or a private (tourguide) car. Parking in the area is nearly non-existent, and it's best to have someone else worry about transportation for you.

We had such a lovely experience at Pema Palace and Park in Sintra. The place has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, and the beautiful surroundings make it feel like a little escape from the busier parts of Sintra. What really stood out was the warmth and hospitality. Everything felt relaxed and genuine, and we enjoyed simply taking our time and soaking in the surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment. A wonderful spot to visit if you’re in Sintra — highly recommended!

From booking tickets, to receiving them, to arrival at the Palace, everything was easy and exactly as described. The directions and explanation of the walk from the entrance up to the palace was just as expected.... The Palace itself is beyond what the pictures show... stunning views and history! I would recommend this stop. From Lisbon it was an easy train ride. We then purchased return bus ride to the entrance - which is unlimited stops for the day and a hop on hop off for the area. Well Worth it.

Both palaces were amazing. Make sure to have a big enough gap between the 2 bookings so as not to rush either. The initiation well at Quinta da Regaleira was a highlight between the 2 as well as the inside of Pena Palace

Pena Palace was beautiful, it felt like a fairytale land. We loved exploring the gardens and finding new spots to gaze at the beautiful palace from. It was a perfect day out!

It was a quick and simple purchase. Very easy to understand and use despite being in a foreign country. Pretty reasonably priced. I will definitely use it again.

Make the most of your visit with access to both landmarks. Avoid the hassle of booking separate tickets!

Both sites are close enough to explore in one day, but you have the flexibility to book for different dates.

Access to both landmarks in one day. Spend the morning at Sintra Palace, and go a scenic drive or hike to Pena Palace & Park after.

Up for some historical insights? Opt for an audio guide to quench your knowledge thirst.

Did you know? Pena Palace was originally a monastery, transformed into a royal palace by King Ferdinand II, earning it the title of one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal

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.

Seeing the palace was nice however be prepared for long lines and barley an opportunity to get a photo becaue there are so many people. We don't even get all the way to the castle on this trip because the cafe was closed and we couldn't hike anymore without getting water. It is beautiful however bring water, wear comfortable sneakers and be prepared to wait in long lines to get in and get on the bus

Booking through Headout went super well, the app is simple to use, and you often get discounts the more you book through it, so we booked all of our activities in Portugal through it. Regarding the Pena Palace: The inside of the palace didn't really blow us away personally, but the huge park around it made up for it. There is so much to discover there, and you can spend many hours there.

Pena Palace is much more interesting than Quinta da Regaleira. Watch out for transportation in Sintra! Anyone planning to walk to the attractions should set aside an entire day—there are lots of steep climbs and relatively long distances. Other than that, there are a few other options. Naturally, I ended up with the most expensive one, which turned out to be the worst. Better check your options before arriving in Sintra.

The actual palace was really interesting and very beautiful. The amount of time spent queuing outside and then again inside despite have pre booked tickets was disappointing and annoying. We felt overwhelmed by the crowds and felt there were too many people admitted at one time and this took the edge off the day.
