We took the 9.11 train from Rossio to Sintra and so glad we did as there were no queues anywhere. When we got of at Sintra it was only a 20 min walk. We purchased tickets online, able to go straight in. Tip go to the Well first as when we eventually came back round there was a long queue. We spent 3 hours here exploring and every turn there was a WOW! The thought and imagination that has gone into this place is incredible. Have been wanted to come here for years and it has not disappointed!

This is a fascinating place. I highly recommend it. However, we went with a guide (Gui) from FlaminGO tours. He told us all the great stories and history of the place. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. But I think this is one place to go with a guide; otherwise it would not mean as much.!We enjoyed it immensely.

This is a lovely expansive park like area with gardens and a well that you can walk to the bottom of, and then take a subterranean path through a grotto to exit, which was a fascinating experience. There seemed to be acres and acres of various structures and gardens to visit. We did not have enough time here to properly explore all that Quinta da Regaleira has to offer having visited the Pena Palace and Castel da los Moros before this. Give yourself at least 3 hours here, it's well worth it!

This place is absolutely incredible. Only stumbled across it by chance in the children’s section of the guide book but it is by far the highlight of our holiday. 10/10 would go back! We loved seeing all the gardens had to offer. The house was being refurbished while we were there so only some of it was open but what we did see was so interesting.

I'd recently seen this place on an episode of "Mysteries of the Abandoned" on Discovery Channel, and couldn't resist seeing for myself. Absolutely worth it! Lots of walking up & down steep hills, but so peaceful and beautiful. (Probably because we went in January and not the insanely busy tourist season.) The house was impeccably laid out - very interesting to see how the other half used to live. Go, by all means, preferably during the off-season.

The coolest place. Feels like a Bond villain lair with so many secrets and cool hidden facts. We got a guided tour from a tours company so that we could hear all the stories and facts of the place!

I was apprehensive at first thinking this would be just another castle with ordinary castle garden. I was blown away by everything about this castle, architecture & its castle garden landscape. Every nooks & crannies are different from each other. There are wells, grottos, ponds, sculptures, watch towers etc. Just WOW! I would definitely visit this castle again.

This is a great place to explore, as the grounds are beautiful. Take your time, as there are lots of little trails to get lost on, exploring the beautiful grounds. The building itself is gorgeous from the outside, but we only spent a few minutes inside, as there wasn’t much going on there. Parts of the interior were closed off for renovation, so that probably made a small difference. But we enjoyed our visit anyways. Lovely spot!

Outstanding place to visit. We went when it was quiet (Jan) so we could soak up the splendor of the place. The 2 wells are a must to visit. There are lots of caves to explore near the lake. The gardens are lovely to walk round, The house itself was good, lovely to look at, but there was not much to see in there due to restoration work going on. The lineage of the Kings / royalty was laid out, and was very interesting. Getting there was pretty straight forward. A few steep hills/steps and your there. Getting to the other 2 palaces is more of a challenge.

What can I say! This palace is beautiful and stunning! Far nicer than Peña Palace! Go here over there! We went in Feb and arrived at 11:00 very little crowds and we were able to amble at our own pace! This grounds are something out of a fairytale. There are caves, ponds, wells, waterfalls and it’s just wonderful. My partner and I had a lovely couple of hours here. Got a bit busier into the afternoon so maybe earlier is best. Easy to access by car and right next to the historical centre. Highly highly recommend!!
