We had a wonderful day at the palace, but be sure to take the time to visit the Queen’s Cottage—it’s absolutely beautiful. Take the path through the trees and nature, past the series of ponds where the ducklings are having a blast. We even saw a goose sitting on her eggs. What a lovely time.

It was a really nice experience—everything went perfectly with the advance purchase. A lot of people couldn't get in because they didn't have advance tickets, so I recommend buying them in advance.

What I liked most about the site was how well-maintained the structures were, as well as the organization, accessibility, and presentation of information through signage. The website is very clear and makes it easy to purchase admission tickets.

I think the garden is amazing, with its intimate spots where you can relax wonderfully. Around every corner, you see a new painting.

#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.

The Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira are amazing and are absolute must-sees. Everything was perfect—the palaces, the scenery, and the whole experience. The history behind both places is wonderful; these are 100% recommended activities that you simply can’t miss. Thank you very much!
