Things to do in Quinta da Regaleira

Our tour from Lisbon was absolutely fantastic! Sintra, a fairy-tale town full of charm and history. Pena Palace was breathtaking — the colours, views, and romantic architecture made it feel like something out of a dream. We also visited Quinta da Regaleira, with its mysterious gardens, tunnels, and the famous Initiation Well — definitely a highlight for anyone who loves history or photography. The drive to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of Europe, offered stunning ocean views and dramatic cliffs. Finally, we ended the day relaxing in Cascais, a beautiful seaside town perfect for a coffee or gelato by the beach. Emilio our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day easy and enjoyable. We had enough time at each stop. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lisbon — it’s the perfect mix of history, nature, and coastal beauty!

Portugal is like a Disney template, with medieval kings & queens castles, even the stables are held to a high standard.

The daytrip was so fun and our experienced was great. Our tour guide Hugo was so kind and his explantions along the tour was very helpful and meaningful. Thanks Hugo for this great trip.

Purchasing Sintra tickets through Klook is convenient; you can directly scan the barcode on your voucher for entry. However, remember the voucher states "There is no delay tolerance," so arrive early to queue for entry. The Google Maps distance from the park entrance to Pena Palace is a 10-minute walk, but it's actually a *steep hill*, so allow extra time to walk there at a leisurely pace. There's also a shuttle bus in the park that runs every 15 minutes (the bus takes 3 minutes to reach Pena Palace). However, the Klook ticket doesn't include the bus, so if you want to ride it, remember to buy a ticket at the park entrance first. Otherwise, even if you've waited in line and are about to board, you'll be turned away (they only accept it if you go back to buy a ticket and rejoin the line; you can't pay on the bus). So, manage your time well, or you might end up sprinting up the steep hill like I did, fearing you'd be late and denied entry. But, I actually bought an 11:00 AM ticket, and after running up, I realized they hadn't even started letting the 11:00 AM group in yet. Everyone with 11:00 AM tickets was still outside waiting to enter. So, if you're feeling bold, you might be able to arrive at the palace gate by 11:30 AM (but this might be because it was a holiday and more crowded...). Anyway, to be safe, allow plenty of extra time!

our tour guide is very informative. we love how they plan for the time spending in each spots and start with my favourite Regaleira. you have control on spending more time in Regaleira or for lunch, as you will have some free time exploring Regaleira, and the guide will meet you after lunch.

our tour guide is awesome and helpful . must book this trip when u travel to Lisbon. worth to book this trip.

The itinerary allows for ample time (bought only Pena Palace outer area tickets), the tour guide is humorous, the explanations are clear, and the driver's driving skills are superb!

The Sintra, Pena Palace, and Cascais full-day trip was an amazing experience! Everything was well-organized, and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great insights into Portuguese history and culture. Pena Palace was absolutely stunning, and having the tickets included made things super convenient. Sintra was charming, with plenty of time to explore the narrow streets and shops, and Cascais was the perfect relaxing stop to end the day. Highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Lisbon who wants to see the highlights in one unforgettable day.
