Audio-guide for regaleira worked the download in the application was done the day before, no problem. On site, the audio guide route was not very logical or coherent, making you go back and forth.... It was impossible to download the audio guide for the Pena Palace. The day before, it was open, but only for consultation. Once there, it was impossible to open it. I find the audioguide service expensive, so I couldn't use it, especially as the site offers an equivalent service for 1€! When making a reservation, especially for a package, it would be a good idea to give an estimate of how long it will take to get there, and to insist on this point before buying.

Very nice pena palace. Application is very difficult to use. We didn't manage to use the audio guide. The wifi at the pena palace was almost useless. Bus 434 and 435 very poorly explained. Too many people. However, I loved my visit.

The tickets for Pena were confusing, it said they were PDF tickets but they would not open. We also booked the shuttle to and from the gate for four people and they were 8 barcodes, which seemed like they were only for the shuttle. It ended up that the barcodes were for shuttle and palace but it took an hour over chat to learn this. The support team was slow and not understanding. They kept forwarding the same broken link for the pdf tickets instead of telling me the barcodes for shuttle and palace were the same. Also, I paid for 4 audio guides and only one download worked.

Truthfully it wasn't great. The audio tour I paid for never came. We contacted and communicated with a staff who promised to send a new link to my email which I never received. The palace itself was a disappointment

The entrance tickets for the transit and Pena Castle worked perfectly. We could not download the audio guide and was told by one of the castle employees that I was scammed! I thought that was a ridculous answer, considering the transit/entry tickets worked. Unfortuately, the are no print options available, so we bought another video guide and was able to learn more from the tour.

Additional information

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.
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.
