Fabulous experience, the process of buying the tickets was very simple. I got the audio guides and everything went great. Whether entering or listening, give yourself plenty of time, as it tends to be very crowded.

We loved the trip to Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira - unfortunately did not have time for the Park at Pena, Think you need to make a better guidance to arrive at Pena (where to park/ or much better to go by bus, How far to walk from Parking to Pena, take tuqtuq etc and how far to walk from Pena to Regaleira Recommend to see both places but be sure to go by bus

Both great must see spots in Sintra!! But.....do not waste your money on the audio guides. They barely worked and they are horrible anyway. You should be able to select based on where you are at the park. Save the extra $$$ Likely will not use this app again.

The Palácio da Pena and Quinta Regaleira are very beautiful. The Palácio da Pena is way too crowded, and I didn’t expect that visiting the inside of the palace (4 or 5 rooms) would mean spending the whoooole time in line—from the moment you enter until you leave— but it’s still worth visiting since the palace ticket gives you access to the terraces (which, of course, are still very crowded). I liked Quinta Regaleira better—it’s quieter and more spacious. You can explore the interior rooms at a more leisurely pace without waiting in line. At the Initiation Well, the attendant was rushing people along to keep the line moving and not let them stop to take pictures inside, which I didn’t like, because obviously people want to take photos, but you can still manage to get some shots. I liked Quinta Regaleira better than Palácio da Pena—both are very beautiful.

It was simply a fantastic day—we loved this tour! Here’s a valuable tip to make the most of your day: be sure to visit the Pena Palace in the morning (the best time to avoid the crowds and the heat). Save the Quinta da Regaleira for the afternoon, and start your tour right away with the must-see Initiation Well (the “hole”) as soon as you arrive to avoid the line. A perfect combination of magnificent scenery and smooth logistics with these tickets!

History, beautiful views, and nature. It was a truly complete experience. A landscaped area reached via a winding, steep road that cuts through a dense forest leads us to the Palácio da Pena, a historical and architectural gem. Quinta da Regaleira features spectacular, fantastical gardens that are well worth a visit.

Step into the colorful world of Pena Palace and explore one of Europe’s most iconic romantic landmarks at your own pace.

Walk through the palace’s richly decorated rooms in the New Palace wing and discover how Portuguese royalty once lived within this hilltop residence.

Step onto Pena Palace’s vibrant terraces and balconies, where sweeping views of Sintra’s forests and hills stretch as far as the Atlantic on clear days.

Wander through the vast Pena Park, filled with winding paths, exotic trees, and hidden viewpoints, before visiting the charming Chalet of the Countess of Edla.

Use the multilingual audio guide to uncover stories behind the palace and park, and choose the shuttle option for an easy ride up to the palace entrance.

Explore Pena Palace and its magical park at your own pace with a self-guided visit and audio guide.

Getting started

Arrive at the Park and National Palace of Pena entrance and present your ticket for validation. From here, follow the walking path through the park toward the palace or take the shuttle service if. Once inside, begin your visit using the audio guide as you explore the palace and park independently.

What to expect

Perched high above Sintra’s forested hills, Pena Palace is a masterpiece known for its colorful towers and eclectic design. With this ticket, explore the palace interiors, terraces, and surrounding parkland at your own pace while the audio guide reveals stories behind its royal past.

Highlights

Colorful palace interiors: Step inside the New Palace wing and explore rooms decorated with ornate ceilings, intricate tiles, and furnishings that reflect Portugal’s 19th-century royal lifestyle.

Pena Park’s hidden paths: Wander through lush gardens and forest trails filled with exotic trees, romantic viewpoints, and quiet corners scattered throughout the park.

Upgrades: Add shuttle access to make your visit smoother, especially if you want to avoid the long uphill walk to the palace.

What to bring

Please wear comfortable walking shoes as you'll have to do a considerable amount of walking.

Make sure to bring refillable water bottles to refuel.
