Sintra Tours and Tickets

Q: Can you go to Sintra without a tour?

Yes, but the trip does involve quite a lot of organization—you'll need to buy Sintra tickets for each attraction in separate time slots, as well as arrange train, bus, and taxis to get to and around the area.

Q: What is the best day to go to Sintra?

The best days to visit Sintra are Tuesday or Wednesday. Visiting on either of these days helps you avoid the brunt of the crowds, as most people visit Lisbon as part of a long weekend, between Thursday and Monday. The winter months—from November through January—also see fewer people at each of Sintra’s attractions.

Q: Is Sintra a walkable city?

Yes, the UNESCO-listed center is small and compact, which makes it easy to navigate on foot—Sintra National Palace is also right in the center and Quinta da Regaleira is a 10-minute walk. However, Pena National Palace and Castle of the Moors—are around 30 minutes' walk from the center via steep routes.

Q: Can you visit Sintra in half a day?

Yes, but you might not get to spend much time at each attraction. If you're short on time, avoid having to wait for the trains by opting for a tour with private transport and book skip-the-line admission tickets, so you don't waste time waiting.

Perfect tour of Sintra!

Perfect mix of history, scenery and freestyle exploring. Miguel our guide was great! Knowledgeable and easy to chat with, helpful in finding the sorts of places we wanted to see. We enjoyed both palaces (Pena and Regaleira) which were both so different, as well as walking around Sintra and Cascais. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Perfect Way to Explore Cascais and Sintra as a Group

We had a fantastic day with Miguel and his team! We were a group of 12 (mix of young kids and adults) in two vans, and everything ran seamlessly. Miguel was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible-he tailored the day to our group and kept a perfect pace for both kids and adults. We never felt rushed and always felt well taken care of. A wonderful, stress-free way to explore Sintra and the coast. Highly recommend, especially for families or larger groups!

We very much enjoyed our tour to Sintra and Cascais with Ricardo. He was pleasant to be with all day and provided a wealth of local knowledge we would have missed if we went alone.

Excellent tour

Jorge and Rodrigo couldn’t have been better guides. We had a large group with our children and parents. They were able to make each stop interesting and informative for all ages and were so kind to our kids, even carrying our little one when she got tired. We loved the stops along the coast and both castles we visited at Sintra were beautiful. Don’t skip the Quinta da Regaleira — it was so magical. The entire day went smoothly and our family had the best time.
