At first apprehensive, I mustered the strength to travel alone via train from Lisbon to Sintra. By the end of the day, I made a new friend that I met in the Initiation Well in Quinta de Regaleiira! A truly enchanted place indeed! The lush nature and fantasy-like castle was breathtaking after being in the city-life of Lisbon. Pena Palace was also stunning, I enjoyed the view of the Atlantic Ocean, the city below, and the fresh air from the Queen's Terrace. I rode tuk tuks and walked, enjoying the fresh air. I wandered around the Seteais Palace and saw a hedge maze! I had pastry and croissant in the city center, then shared a taxi to Cascais with my new soul sister! We rode back to Lisbon together. This is a must do experience, I would like to do it again, with no phone (and add the Monserrate Palace & Park)! I felt like Queen for a day, mi castle, tu castle!!! Highly recommend and would so again!

Getting to Sintra from Lisbon by train was very easy, taking just 40 minutes. There is an option to buy hop-on hop-off bus tickets that are valid all day in Sintra and take you to all the surrounding sights; they cost about 10 Euros per person. The Pena Palace is beautiful, featuring a blend of multiple cultures and eras, and it also offers a free audio guide option to learn about the history of the place—make sure to bring headphones. Afterwards, we took the bus back to Sintra and caught another bus to Quinta da Regaleira, which is huge. Filled with nature and stories to discover, it features majestic landscapes, tunnels to explore, wonderful grottoes, and viewpoints. We recommend spending at least 2 hours there to explore each spot. You can't leave Portugal without seeing this!

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.

It is a very beautiful place and highly recommended. It is well worth visiting and enjoying its landscapes and monuments. Be prepared to walk a lot, though, so wearing comfortable shoes is essential. I recommend taking the bus up to the site, especially since the path is quite steep. If you walk up, you will probably arrive more tired and use up energy that you will need later to explore Quinta da Regaleira, where there is also a lot of walking. ⚠️ A very important tip: buy your tickets in advance. I do not recommend buying them directly at the venue, as there might not be availability for that day and you risk missing out on the visit. Planning and booking in advance will help you make much better use of your time.

We had a truly memorable experience. The place carries an impressive mystical aura, with its lush gardens, secret tunnels, and buildings full of symbolism. The highlight was, without a doubt, the descent down the Initiation Well: that underground spiral makes you feel as if you were in a portal to another dimension, descending into the heart of the earth. Exploring the hidden passages, discovering the nooks and crannies between the stones, and sharing the fascination of every detail in good company made the day even more special. It was an incredible journey, surrounded by mystery, history, and a unique energy that stayed with us from start to finish. A simply wonderful and unforgettable visit

Quinta de Regaleira was one of the highlights of my trip! The estate is absolutely stunning, with beautiful gardens, hidden pathways, mysterious tunnels, and incredible architecture around every corner. The Initiation Well was especially amazing and something I had never experienced before. Exploring the underground tunnels and discovering all the hidden features throughout the property made the visit feel like a real adventure. There is so much to see and explore, so I would definitely recommend allowing plenty of time rather than rushing through. The combination of history, architecture, nature, and mystery makes Quinta de Regaleira a truly unique place.

Quinta da Regaleira Was amazing. We had timed tickets that worked perfectly. It is a magical place and a must visit if you are in Portugal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was also not very crowded. The coffee shop had great food and was not expensive. You could spend hours there.
