Dear customer:
We are pleased to inform you that our company offers both Regular and Fast Track Tickets (based on your preference) for visiting the Pena Palace, ensuring complete convenience. However, if there is a change in dates, the customer will be responsible for the cost of the ticket for the new date. During the high season and for reservations made a few weeks in advance, regular tickets may not be available, and skip-the-line tickets will be suggested (highly recommended). The Palace operates with a new slot schedule system, offering a limited number of regular tickets every half hour (e.g., 09:30, 10:00).
- Quinta da Regaleira - Located near Sintra’s historic center, Quinta da Regaleira is one of the town’s most intriguing attractions.
The Palace of Quinta da Regaleira was constructed in the early 20th century by the millionaire António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), who fulfilled one of his dreams here with the assistance of the scenographic architect Luigi Manini (1848-1936). Surrounded by lush greenery, the Palácio da Regaleira is a captivating discovery. Special attention is given to the Capela da SantÃssima Trindade (Chapel of the Holy Trinity), where visitors can descend a spiral staircase into the crypt to uncover the monumental initiation well that leads, via a grotto, to a hidden lake amidst the gardens.
Special notes:
- Due to the National Palace of Pena’s slot schedule system (half-hour entrances) and its status as the main activity, the visit to Regaleira may need to be adjusted or canceled. Our guide can offer alternatives accordingly.
- Sintra - After visiting the selected palace or monument, you will have free time to explore the historic center of Sintra. Wander through the narrow streets and be sure to try the famous queijadas and pillows.
Special notes (Summer 2024):
Due to new traffic regulations in Sintra and the high season at Pena Palace, our primary goal is to ensure quality on this half-day tour. Therefore, we will visit Pena Palace (3h) and then recommend visiting either the Regaleira Gardens (1h) OR the historic center (1h). If the client wishes to visit all three stops, our guide will allocate less time at each location, which we believe is not ideal for our clients.
If you would like to customize your tour to include more attractions, other highlights, or additional time, please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
