Sintra, Pena Palace, Regaleira, Roca, Cascais, Small Group tour
Our takeRoman Antonov, editor · choice 3 of 8 in From Lisbon

“Pena Palace interior” includes the rooms ticket and central Lisbon pickup. Choose it for a small group with hotel pickup. It also allows 100 minutes at Regaleira, with a separate ticket.

Buy Regaleira’s 11:30 entry through the official ticket service. Without that booking, the visit is limited to passing the exterior. Lunch is extra.

Pickup starts at 07:40 downtown or 07:50 uptown. The exact time arrives the day before. Restricted parking can mean a nearby meeting point. This tour is unsuitable for travellers with limited mobility.

What the operator writes about each stop
  1. Park and National Palace of Pena

    Visit to the Pena Palace terraces and Park, one of the best representations of 19th century Romanticism in Europe. Being the second-highest point in the Serra de Sintra (over 500m above sea level), it will amaze you with its unique architecture and spectacular views. King Ferdinand II - the king-artist - fell in love with Sintra, and following the purchase of the property, decided to build a unique castle and park, with 500 plant species from all corners of the world. The palace incorporates Manueline and Moorish architectural influences, that together will give you an atmosphere of “a thousand and one nights.”. An unforgettable experience (see ticket options - terraces and viewpoints or interior rooms).

  2. Centro Historico de Sintra

    In the center of Sintra you can either stay in the village, view the National Palace or walk to visit Regaleira (tickets not included). Also, a great option is to stay, and enjoy the wonders of this beautiful medieval little town, walking the narrow streets, feel the local atmosphere and then grab a coffee and try local pastry "Travesseiro".

  3. Quinta da Regaleira

    Regaleira is a 19th century Villa, known as Palácio da Regaleira. Located in the center of Sintra, it was bought by a Portuguese businessman who was fascinated by secret orders such as Freemasonry and the Templars. Regaleira was transformed into a palace surrounded by gardens, lakes, caves and enigmatic constructions, symbolic places, typical of secret societies and rituals. A unique monument influenced by Romantic, Neo-Gothic and Manueline architecture. To visit Quinta da Regaleira, please book as it gets sold out in advance. Book 11h30 slot, on the official shop: regaleira by blueticket . In case you cannot book, visit will not be possible, but you can still pass-by and see the exterior.

  4. Sintra National Palace

    Sintra National Palace is one of the most important royal palaces from the 12th century, built by the moors initially, and later further developed and expanded during different monarchs' reign. This was one of the most important political centers, during the discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries. It has the most relevant moorish ceramic tiles collection in Portugal.

  5. Cabo Da Roca

    We will stop at Cabo Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. After your Sintra's visit, you will stop here to take pictures, get a bit of fresh air, and relax.

  6. Centro Historico de Cascais

    Cascais will amaze you, with its mix of a little fishing village, together with the sophistication of a place where kings and queens would spend part of their summer. Time to relax and enjoy the views

  7. Estoril

    A quick view of Estoril, where kings were living and spies would come to meet during World War II. Fancy James Bond? You will know a bit of history also.

I live in Cascais, twenty minutes from Sintra, and I love the place. Every figure on this page comes from the operator's own listing, read on 15 September 2026; the argument for or against the tour is mine.
