The line was extremely long just to get onto the castle grounds (even with a ticket). There were also several (!) long (!) wait times inside the castle. Because of the wait times, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend the castle. Ultimately, it’s a colorful castle with five pretty rooms. What I can definitely recommend, however, is the park itself. Due to a lack of time, I was probably only able to see about a third of the park. The many paths, buildings, streams, and ponds you can discover there are extraordinary!! If I were to go back there with a group of friends, I’d say: “You guys go check out the castle; I’ll take a look at the park :-)”

We really enjoyed visiting Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra. It is such a beautiful and unique place, with lovely gardens, interesting architecture, winding paths, and hidden tunnels to explore. The Initiation Well was definitely a highlight and something we had never seen before. We enjoyed walking around the property and discovering all the different areas along the way. It has a very peaceful feel in some areas, while others are fun to explore and a little mysterious. We would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Sintra. Give yourself plenty of time to walk around and take it all in—it’s a beautiful place and well worth the visit!

The relief-decorated ceramics at Pena Palace were absolutely beautiful. After touring the palace, we walked down through the forest to Quinta da Regaleira—it was a very pleasant and surprising path. At one point, we worried about what we would do if we slipped, twisted an ankle, fell, or got hurt, but when we saw the end of the path, we were overjoyed.

Score Quinta da Regaleira tickets—explore its stunning 19th-century estate, enchanting architecture, secret passages, and gardens.

I arrived late because the 435 bus wasn't running, so I took the 434 bus since someone told me it would be a 5-minute walk—but in the end, I had to walk 20 minutes. It's okay, though, because they let me in at the last minute. I’m really glad I got the audio guide because Quinta da Regaleira is very large, and it helped me figure out what to see in a specific order more easily and avoid getting lost. I found the audio guide very useful and interesting! (Especially the little tips.) I really liked the first cave, which is bright inside, and the passages and caves that seem secret (the labyrinth cave is scary, but I thought it was super cool to go through it). Quinta da Regaleira is well worth the price—there’s so much to discover. The Headout website offers tips for your visit (wear appropriate shoes since there’s a lot of walking, bring water, sunscreen, etc.). I chose the 12:30 p.m. time slot and was able to finish everything by 5:40 p.m. (while taking lots of photos and taking a short break to sit down). I don’t regret booking through this site at all—especially since the audio guide is just an extra €2!

Visiting the Pena Palace and Park, as well as the Quinta da Regaleira, was one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal. The Pena Palace is impressive even from a distance, with its vibrant colors and extraordinary architecture. From the top, you have a beautiful view of Sintra and the surrounding area. The adjoining park is very large, well-maintained, and perfect for leisurely walks through nature. We were particularly captivated by the mysterious atmosphere at Quinta da Regaleira. The underground tunnels, hidden paths, and the famous Initiation Fountain make this place truly unique. There are interesting details to discover everywhere, making you feel almost as if you’re in a fairy tale. Both attractions are definitely worth seeing and offer a great blend of history, architecture, and nature. Anyone visiting Sintra should definitely not miss these places.

We really enjoyed/loved this trip! The place itself was incredible. Even if it was 36 degrees you could stay in the shadow and enjoy this place! We arrived way too early, and there's no café/vending machine while waiting (but a toilet!). (There's a café/place where you can eat while you are inside) there are also cafés if you choose to go down again to the nearest place. As it says in the email, download your audio guide Before coming to Quinta! 🙃 (otherwise you can stil buy an audioguide at the entrance for 5 € per device. A Must see place I have to say! But book tickets in advance, they were totally sold out on the day we were there! We will sure be back here sometime ! The Headout app worked great! (Download the tickets so you can access them without internet but there's a wifi at the entrance at least, people got helped at least)

There were seven of us, ranging in age from 70 years to 38 months. We loved walking around this huge resort. We arrived at 4:00 p.m. and there were no lines. We were amazed by the well and the underground tunnel. Our children, ranging in age from 9 years to 38 months, said this was the highlight of their day. The towers were a big hit with my grandchildren. They loved having their pictures taken once they reached the top. One of our grandchildren suggested we check out the steps, which were different in one of the towers, and he was right—but the view was spectacular. Luckily, there was a cafeteria where we could refuel with water and snacks. The woodwork and stained-glass windows were magnificent.

Visiting the Pena Castle and gardens and the Quinta do Regaleira was a highlight in our Lisbon trip. The forests and parks of Sintra with their great diversity of trees and plants offer great pleasure for lovers of nature. Combined with the historical input of the Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle, the delicous shops, restaurants and pastry shops downtown and the Romantic gardens of Quinta with their fountains, labyrinth, warwrfalls and caves offer a perfect one day getaway from Lisobon. The trafic in the town is very heavy with buses, tuka tuka, cars, cyclists and pedestrians all going around the narrow streets up and a parking spot is also not very easy to find. Having bought tickets in advance saved us time and having to wait in line.
