Quinta da Regaleira was easily one of my favourite places to visit in Sintra. I especially enjoyed strolling through the huge gardens, with their winding paths, towers, hidden grottoes and views of the surrounding mountains. There’s so much to see that it’s worth taking your time rather than rushing from one attraction to the next. I also liked learning that a lot of thought went into the design of the gardens, wells and underground tunnels, with hidden meanings and references to mythology and old spiritual traditions. It makes you look at the whole place a little differently, knowing that so many of the details are there for a reason. The famous Initiation Well is definitely a highlight, but I was just as impressed by the underground tunnels. Walking through those dimly lit stone passages was quite an experience, especially since some of the rough stones almost look like skulls at first glance. A little eerie, but also really intriguing! And as a lovely little bonus, we even came across a cute cat hanging out in the castle gardens, looking completely at home among all the visitors. Such an unusual and memorable place, and definitely worth spending a few hours exploring!

We were so fortunate as to have Pedro for our tuck tuck guide. Not only did he tour us around Sintra and Cascais but he also took us to the beach and to all of the spots that were not touristy. Pedro has the inside scoop on where to go, where to stand for the best pictures, and what the true important things and must sees are. He is the best guide we have had on any trip bar none. If you want to rent a tuk tuk, make sure you request Pedro. I take my reviews very seriously because I rely on them in booking tours. His knowledge of the history and the area is beyond compare. We very much enjoyed Quinta de Regalaria and the history lesson from Pedro.

Visiting the National Palace of Sintra was a great choice. It is located right in the historic center, making it very accessible. Its two towering white chimneys catch your eye from the outside, but the best part is inside: the traditional azulejo tile collection is impressive, and the rooms (especially the Coat of Arms Room and the Swan Room) are magnificently preserved. The tour takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and is very smooth and easy to navigate. I recommend buying tickets in advance to skip the lines during peak hours. An absolute must-visit if you go to Sintra!

Tucked into the misty hills of Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most enchanting places in Portugal, and I'd even say it outshines Pena Palace. Gothic towers, moss-covered gardens, hidden grottoes: every corner feels like a page from a fairytale. The highlight is the Initiation Well, a 27-metre spiral staircase descending into the earth, rich in Masonic symbolism. Dark tunnels lead from its base to a waterfall and a quiet lake. My friends from abroad were spellbound. Go early in the morning, bring a small flashlight for the tunnels, and take your time. Truly a must-see

The Moorish Castle itself was great. Awesome to see how the Moors built the casket and learn the history. However Sintra tourism should make some changes They advise to go to the Pena Palace first early before the lines which we did. However to then get to the Moorish Castle you neeed to go all the way back down to the town on the bus and then back up. They should let you go to the Moorish Caskte first in the am and then go to the front of the line when at the Oen la Palace. It would save a lot of time

The tickets were sold out the day before so I was very happy to get them and visit this crazy place. The views from the various towers were really good. That well was way more interesting than I expected. Be sure to go late in the day when the line is short. There were tunnels and waterfalls and a palace and towers and circular staircases. It was full of surprises and I loved it. Be sure to book tickets! It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Sintra train station and it's mostly flat.

Enjoy entry to two of Sintra’s most iconic attractions with this combo that allows you to cover both places on the same day or even on different days.

Both attractions are a mere 4 km apart, making it easy for you to cover both in a single day.

Use the audio guide available for the Quinta de Regaleira to dive deeper into its history and architectural significance.

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.

Quinta da Regaleira was one of the most evocative experiences of our trip to Portugal. A truly unique place where the palace, gardens, caves, underground passages, and initiation wells intertwine to create an almost magical atmosphere. The part that impressed us the most is definitely the garden: it's not your classic palace visit, but a real exploration, with hidden corners and completely different landscapes as you move along. The Initiation Well is spectacular and absolutely worth the visit. I recommend dedicating at least 2-3 hours to the visit, wearing comfortable shoes because there are several paths, staircases, and passages to cover. A fascinating, original, and out-of-the-ordinary place that definitely deserves to be included in your Sintra itinerary.

Entry was quick and without any waiting; we got the tickets for the first slot in the morning, which is when it's least crowded. It's worth walking through the gardens of Quinta da Regaleira, and then we went to the Pena Palace and walked around the palace grounds. If you like furniture, there is a ticket option that includes a visit to the rooms. There are shuttles that take you from Quinta da Regaleira to the Pena Palace for €10 per person, and they take you door-to-door.

If you ever dreamt of a magical place, well this is it! Quinta da Regaleira is by far one of the most fascinating place in Sintra. The castle, the history behind it and the well will captivate your soul and imagination. I have visited Sintra twice in 6 years and Quinta da Regaleira is a must-see on everyone's list. Book in advance, head there and be ready to be enchanted by its aura.

This combo gives you access to two of Sintra's most iconic palaces: The National Palace of Sintra and the Quinta de Regaleira. Their proximity makes this the ideal booking for a tour of Sintra's best treasures.

National Palace of Sintra

The National Palace of Sintra served as a residence for almost every Portuguese king and queen till the end of the monarchy in 1910. The first thing you’ll notice from a distance is its two conical chimneys and rooms, culminating centuries of Moorish and Portuguese history. The tour will take you through some of its most iconic rooms, including the Swan Hall, the Magpie Room, the Palatine Chapel, and the Heraldic Hall with its octagonal dome. Each space features intricate details from a variety of different influences.

Quinta de Regaleira

The Quinta de Regaleira was built in the 20th century by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, a wealthy Brazilian businessman. Walking through each floor, you’ll come across a mix of Gothic, Rainnaisance, and Manueline styles. A stroll through the gardens will lead you to an underground network of tunnels and an initiation well. Every corner is dotted with symbolism, and the tunnels also lead to a secret entrance that leads to the Initiation Well.
