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.

The Moorish Castle is a military fortress built by the Moors during their rule of Portugal. Today, it is decorated with all the flags Portugal has ever had, which I thought was a very special touch. It is the northernmost point in the city, and the view from up there is spectacular—there is no better view of Sintra than the one from the castle. However, be prepared to climb a lot of stairs, and wear sneakers and comfortable clothes.

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!

Explore the 8th century military-style Moorish Castle, and 20th century fairytale Pena Palace with entry to both attractions in one convenient combo.

Climb up Moorish Castle's watch tower or admire the thought behind the Second Ring of Walls, designed to protect its people and harvest.

At Pena Palace, enjoy the eclectic mix of neo-Gothic, Manueline, and Islamic elements, then walk through the massive Pena Park dotted with statues, small ponds, and benches.

Upgrade your basic ticket with an audio guide packed with stories, legends, and secrets to enhance your visit to both UNESCO sites!

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.

Everything went smoothly from entry to exploring the Moorish Castle. It wasn’t overly crowded during our visit, so there was plenty of space to walk around, explore at our own pace, and enjoy the views without feeling rushed. The whole experience was easy and well organized. Definitely worth visiting while in Sintra!

How grandiose the Moorish construction was for its time, as well as the foresight to build a fortress to ensure the protection of the area, which nevertheless was not enough to prevent its recapture by the Portuguese.

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.
