The 15 Best Sintra Tours & Palace Tickets

35 tours  ·  from $4 a head

Sintra is a timed-entry town: get that right and the day works. These 15 compare Pena, Regaleira and the Moorish castle, the loops that add Cabo da Roca and Cascais, and the ones that leave Lisbon early enough to beat the coaches.

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 17,410 reviews · 1 day · from $11Our pick

Review of Pena Palace and Park in Sintra, with ticket value, transport advice, queues, palace highlights, gardens, and practical tips.

“A place not to be missed, but to avoid in the summer time. We went in February and it was full of people. Get ready to walk a lot, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. You need to book the Palace and Park Entrance, as it is timed and you need lots of extra time to get there. There are shuttle buses too, but quite expensive.”

Review of a small-group Lisbon tour to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Boca do Inferno, and Cascais, with tickets included.

“We had a terrific guide in Gustavo - very personable, knowledgeable and fun. Good driver too - both in Lisbon and the crazy, narrow uphill roads to the Pena Palace! There are a zillion buses and cars coming into this hilltop area and maneuvering to drop and pick up people requires a pro - and he was. I cannot imagine accessing this without a guide driving. The palace has to be seen to be believed - the consecutive additions of so many different styles and colors. And the surrounding forest is unforgettable.

So if you purchase on the day be prepared not to have audio as the connection was terrible at the location. However the place was beautiful and views spectacular!!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 901 reviews · 2 hours 10 minutes (approx.) · from $4Best value

Explore Sintra’s palaces, legends, fountains, pastries, and gardens on a low-cost English walking tour with expert local guides.

“The tour did say it would last for 2.5 hrs. Maybe it was there were only 4 people joining the tour, our guide cut the tour in less than a hour. He just gave us 5 mins to buy the pastries and go to the bathroom. How short the time was! To be fair, our guide was knowledgeable. Just the real experience time was far behind 2.5 hrs of the official tour time.for the real tour. I even didn’t know where is the Pene Sintra Palace was. Disappointing. I did have very good experience with free tour in other countries. The guides were knowledgeable and you could feel their passion.…”
