Just as the Caminito del Rey was a travel destination last year, Sintra was on our list this year. We were advised against going with our own transport. The mayor, as we understood from our Uber driver, wants to keep all vehicles out of his village. Except those of the residents, of course. So, Uber? Yes, that turned out to be the most practical and ultimately the cheapest option. Especially if you get a driver who actually lives in Sintra. He immediately gave us tips on the best way to get from one side to the other, as we wanted to visit Pena Palace first and then Quinta da Regaleira, which is quite a bit further away. Sintra is special not only for its colorful palaces, castles, and romantic gardens, but also for its microclimate. It is much cooler and more humid here than in Lisbon. This microclimate is partly why kings, aristocrats, and wealthy foreigners built their country residences here over the centuries. In the 19th century, Sintra took on its current fairytale character. King Ferdinand II had a ruined monastery converted into the spectacular Pena Palace. A unique combination of various styles: Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance, and even Egyptian influences. Around the palace, he had a huge, romantic park laid out with exotic trees, ponds, fountains, and winding paths. Walking through this park, you feel like you are in a fairytale world. But then again... with all those tourists! 😉

I've been to many countries and many castles in Europe - this was by far the most unique and beautiful. Absolutely worth the medium hike up from the garden entrance to the palace. The inside was stunning but the outside was something out of a movie. I could not get enough pics. Just a note: you definitely need to take some form of transport up to the garden gates. Its like... way up the mountain and it takes a good 30 minutes even on a bus. We also loved the Regalia - prepare for some walking, its actually quite a large park with a few attractions within it which I was not expecting. its also about a 20 minute walk from the main Sintra square, up hill. We were hoofing it to make it to our slot on time from where we parked.

Pena Palace is certainly the most beautiful palace in Sintra. With its vibrant colors and romantic-era architecture, it is a must-see in Sintra. It really is a must-visit. To go up to the palace, I recommend taking the paid transfer; it's only 4.50 euros and saves you time and breath because the climb is long and steep. The essential visit takes about 2 hours, while the full tour of the palace can take up to 4 hours. Now, if you are going to visit the gardens too, be prepared for a whole day's outing, because there are 85 hectares of gardens. Obviously, you won't be able to see everything, but you will certainly marvel at the sights you do manage to pass through.

Pena Palace is a spectacular place and a must-visit in Sintra. The palace is beautiful, both for its architecture and colors and for the incredible views it offers. I recommend buying tickets in advance and choosing your entry time carefully, as it tends to get very crowded and tickets can sell out. It is also important to arrive early and wear comfortable shoes, because you have to walk from the entrance and go through several steep areas. My advice is to take the bus or use the available transport instead of walking up, to save energy and enjoy the visit more. Definitely an experience that is well worth it.

Absolutely lovely! The tickets were easily accessible, downloadable, and Headout really eliminated any sort of worry during our day trip to Sintra. The castles were stunning, we had magnificent weather, and both buying the combo made Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira super doable to visit in one day. Highly recommend!

Our entire trip was exceptional. We took public transport, the train and the bus. Pena Palace, very different compared to Regaleira, was even more impressive on the inside, due to the magnificence of those who lived there. Also highly recommended.

Enjoy a smooth visit with pre-booked entry tickets to both the National Palace of Sintra and Pena Palace & Park—no last-minute stress.

Explore the grand halls of the National Palace of Sintra and the expansive gardens of Pena Park, just 20 minutes apart by car.

See the beautiful tilework and royal chambers of the National Palace of Sintra, then wander through forests and hidden trails in Pena Park.

No rush, explore at your pace. Take your time to admire the palaces, their gardens, and hidden corners full of history.

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

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.

I understand why the king and queen fell in love with it. Set aside a whole day and explore the park; it has hidden gems off the beaten path.

An unbeatable day thanks to the combined ticket for both visits, plus we saved money on both. Everything was perfect and very well organized.
