It was a very special experience. We spent three hours in this unique park. We were very impressed by the plants, towers, enchanted paths, and underground water features. There is always something new to discover.

Quinta da Regaleira didn’t feel like a place you simply enter — it felt like slipping quietly into a secret. From the moment I walked through the gates, everything slowed down: the soft crunch of gravel under my shoes, the cool shade of ancient trees, and the sense that every path was hiding a story waiting to be discovered. The gardens were a maze in the best possible way. I kept turning corners and finding towers, hidden tunnels, and moss-covered stone that looked like it had been there forever. But the moment that truly made my day was standing at the edge of the Initiation Well. Looking down into that spiral felt surreal — like staring into another world. As I walked down its winding steps, the air grew cooler and quieter, and for a few minutes it felt like time itself had paused just for me. What stayed with me most wasn’t just the architecture or the scenery — it was the feeling of curiosity and wonder that never left. Quinta da Regaleira isn’t just a landmark you visit; it’s an experience you wander through, piece by piece, until you realize you’ve been smiling the entire time.

The palace colors and location are amazing. A beautiful retreat from the city. We had to climb all the way from the city to the place because the road was closed due to fallen trees from the recent rains. I would suggest taking a tuk tuk for 5 euros per person that takes you to the gate.

The palace is enchanting, nestled in a magical forest. I loved the architecture of the palace, especially the Arabic style. The view from the towers is stunning and stretches all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo deRoca's glorious settings and architecture are why we all go to experience the beauty. That beauty was immeasurably enhanced by tour guide Bruno. He was flawless in his knowledge, could answer every question.... And like Ginger Rogers he did much of the steep hill climb walking backwards the better to be able to address the tour . Good communication, own time to explore at leisure and recommendations for eating . The complete package

The ease of purchase and clarity of what is offered. During the visit, you have to be careful with the security guards who are eager to leave and finish their shift, and even if you have 10 minutes to visit, they won't let you in to see the palace. Recommendation: first the palace, then get lost in the gardens.
