Description
Sintra, the Moon’s Hill, is one of those places full of magic and mystery where nature and man combined in a perfect symbiosis which UNESCO has classified a World Heritage site. Take a walk through the mysterious Pena Park (ticket included), with an astonishing variety of plants and trees. Feel like royalty as you enter the romantic Pena National Palace (ticket included) at the top of the Sintra Mountain with amazing views.

Tour guide (Felipe Bora) made best use of available time to cover as many interesting topics as possible. Very experienced guide. He was careful in making sure we can walk up to the palace. He also made sure we understood the history of the palace throughout the tour.

We had a wonderful day, perfect weather!. We visited the Pena Palace in the morning, had a wonderful lunch in Sintra, and then went to Quinta da Regaleira in the afternoon. So much beauty, both inside and outside! We had a wonderful tour guide Mari who knew just where to go when, what to recommend, and was very knowledgeable about everything we saw.
Maria Willey, our guide, was very knowledgable, punctual, and professional. She designed a best route for us on such a rainy and stormy day. Thank you very much.
Excellent day trip to Palacio da Pena and Quinta da Regaleira. Without haste or haste we could see both places without difficulty of long lines or waiting. The guide Joao very friendly and proved to have great knowledge about the history of Portugal. Also thank you for your great enthusiasm! We recommended lunch in a typical Portuguese food place where we had time to taste their delicious dishes quietly. Absolutely recommended!
Early morning visit to Pena Palace recommended to avoid queues to buy the ticket. Climbing possible (even with children) from the station but not recommended if you want to enjoy the different visits on the day. Possibility to walk between palaces. Superb palace of Pena, stroll in the park super nice on nearly 2 hours with children. Disappointing Quinta da Regaleira for adults but the children enjoyed the hiding places and the little balancing games!
Walking through the gardens, underground galleries, and seeing the wells is spectacular. The landscapes are idyllic and the mansion and other buildings have amazing architecture. My only negative point is to get to the aquarium and see that it is putrid water and the house inside, the part we could see, as the upper floors were closed were just nice compared to the outside. It is still essential if you are traveling to Sintra.
