Tickets bought online and easy retrieval to present at the gate. Ensure you scroll to the ticket not just the receipt. The ticket says "This is your e-ticket" Wasn't too busy so got in 20 minutes before my timeslot. Go to the lineup and see if you can get in early. Don't wait till your timeslot if it doesn't seem to busy. Far more to see than just the intiation well. (But it was very cool, and amazing) A quite long line up way around the corner, but it moved very quickly. Almost didn't stop moving. 10 -15 minutes only to get in. Lots of elderly and kids in the well so it moves slowly. Plenty of time to take many photos. There were a few other hidden caves and steps that most people seemed to pass by. And many small staircases and pathways up and down the forest. Get off the main trails!! A very beautiful park!

It was an absolutely amazing tour. We arrived at the scheduled time, got in without any trouble—the line was very short and well-organized when we got there. We validated our tickets right at the entrance and went to explore the grounds. Quinta da Regaleira is a beautiful place, much larger and more impressive than I had imagined before visiting. It’s very well organized, well-preserved, with beautiful spots, and a great place to visit. I really enjoyed going into the cave and exploring the mansion; the entire property is absolutely charming. The trip was well worth it, and we took some great photos to keep as souvenirs of the place.

I totally enjoyed navigating in your Headout app abd looking forward to use it in the future. The only thing in booking the tickets in the App there was no mention of the road leading to the entrance where it was closed and the uphill walk was quite challenging. Especially for my wife that had knee replacement surgery. Then after our visit we had to walk to the city center to call an Uber which was also very challenging. In Sintra everybody knew about this road closure except your format.

The ticket worked perfectly, and we even arrived before our scheduled time slot. The weather was cool and rainy, so not ideal, but Quinta da Regaleira is truly beautiful and well worth a visit. A great park, the Initiation Spring, a waterfall, and a grotto... the much-praised Palácio Nacional da Pena can’t hold a candle to it. My recommendation: Enjoy the Quinta to the fullest and skip the Palácio Nacional da Pena.

The scenery was beautiful! The initiation well was the best view, such a great experience. Being able to walk down the entire well was so unique. It was a little wet and slippery but there is a handle to guide you down. It was not too crowed and you are able to move around freely without bumping into people. I highly suggest visiting. We only spent an hour and half here but there is so much to see and visit you could easily spend 1/2 a day here.

Got there 15 minutes early and were allowed to enter, which was perfect because we accidently bought for the wrong time. Got to the initiation well and although greeted by a line, the only line we experienced, it went by quickly and we were down the stairwell, mesmerized by the design and construction (and some wet feet). Definitely worth the visit. Please book your tickets online as people were being turned away due to it being sold out.

Quinta da Regaleira is often described as "magical or fairytale-like", and that is true if you only look at the surface. But, after getting a tour guide to tell us the story, you find out the true meaning of the palace. There is alot of mysticism, alchemy, symbolism and the man who built it was part of the secret society of masons (illuminati). Almost demonic in nature. However, when yo7u look at the architeecture, it is rich, dramatic and layered with meaning; a mixture of Gothic, Renaissance, and Egyptian influences. We went on a Sunday and was there for 10am opening. Best advice is to go early so you dont get in the long lines that can happen later in the day.

It really is a beautiful sight. Since we had reserved tickets, we were able to get in very quickly without having to wait in line. I went with some friends, and we all agreed that the gardens were the most impressive part. We truly believe it’s a must-see if you’re visiting Sintra. The only thing we all agreed on was that it would have been great to visit more rooms in the palace, since not many were open.

First of all, the entry time was strictly enforced, and there were no lines!!!! It was great to be able to stroll through the park and tour the villa without it being overly crowded!!!! The café was also extremely well-organized, and the service was lightning-fast!!!!
