About This Experience

Escape to Sintra, the fairytale town that inspired poets and captivated royalty. Just 30 minutes from Lisbon, this UNESCO World Heritage site is home to Pena Palace in cotton-candy colors perched atop a hill. Explore the ornate rooms, wander through exotic gardens, and discover the mysterious Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira - a spiral staircase descending into mystery.

Skip If

You have limited mobility - lots of walking and stairs

Perfect For

Couples who love fairytale settings and exploration

Pro Tip

Book palace tickets online in advance - it sells out. Start early (8:30am) to beat tour groups.
