The tour of Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira was beautiful. The postcards of the tours take you to another time where the natural environment is magical, like Portugal. The way to get there from Portugal is easy and fast. Already on the tour of the park, the palace takes you to the history of the country and allows you to enter into the daily life of the families who lived there. I did the whole tour of the nature reserve on a drizzly day, which made the experience even more extraordinary. I arrived at Regaleira through the wooded environment and then toured the gardens of the quinta. The audio guides are an adequate tool to make the visit in an autonomous way. Highly recommended.

Definitely worth a visit if you are staying in Lisbon. It was incredible to see the Pena Palace as it was when occupied by the royal family. Other former royal palaces like Versailles in Paris are beautiful but don't properly convey what life was like in them because things like furnishings and the things pertaining to daily life were destroyed. The Portugese had the foresight to preserve these items so we can now enjoy them in context at this amazing palace. The Regelaria is equally as stunning but it's highlight is not the house, but the grounds. Be sure to take enough time to explore and get lost!

The Palace is a marvel but we paid more for the audio guide and it turns out that the entrance to the Palace includes a free audio guide. It was also a very foggy and rainy day so we couldn't enjoy the views or the gardens... but that's not the fault of the Palace or headout! It was still worth it!

I'm a flight attendant and have been a lot of places and hands down this is one of the coolest places I've ever been to. Pro tip if you're small traveling with small children, do not take a stroller!!! We had our 4 yr walk and the 20 month old in the baby carrier dragged our sroller up the cobble stone paths.

Note that you must enter Pena Palace (not the gate, but the Palace) at the time slot assigned to you, or you may not be able to access the venue.

Please note that you will have to enter from the house tour entrance and not the main gate.

While the Pena Palace complex includes both the palace and gardens, there's still a short walk to the palace itself from the main entrance. The path is paved and climbs a bit and can take 30 minutes.

If you prefer to skip the walk, there's a shuttle bus available within the complex that takes you right up to the palace entrance.

There is an expected wait time of 15-20 mins at the entrance/security to scan the ticket.

The Pena Palace is partially closed due to restoration work on the window openings and the entrance’s Southeast and Northeast facades.

You can park your car in the historic center of Sintra or the peripheral car parks available. There are parking lots at the park entrance but may be limited depending on the number of visitors.

Bus number 434 leaves from Sintra Station and delivers you to the Pena Palace stop. The ride takes just 15-20 minutes. Walking isn't recommended as the route has a lot of steep sections and takes nearly an hour.

Pena Palace prioritizes visitor safety with timed entry. While your exploration of the interior has a designated time slot, it provides enough time to see the highlights.
