If you’re visiting in the summer, aim to arrive early to beat the crowds and heat.

There’s much to see during a tour of Quinta da Regaleira. Highlights of the estate, which is part of the wider Sintra UNESCO World Heritage Site, include the Gothic-style Regaleira Palace, the 9-level-deep Initiation Wells (so-called for their believed association with the Knights Templar), the ornate Chapel, and the pretty gardens and water features.

No. Because of its historic architecture, Quinta da Regaleira offers limited accessibility for wheelchair users. The UNESCO-listed palace, a romantic mix of architectural styles, is viewable from the outside, and some of its garden paths are accessible to disabled visitors. Much of the palace’s interior, however, is narrow and can only be visited via stairs.

Plan to spend at least 1–2 hours visiting Quinta da Regaleira. However, you may find that it’s worth setting aside a whole day for a visit to the region and taking in other Sintra highlights, such as the Pena Palace. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many full-day Sintra tours from Lisbon include a stop at Quinta da Regaleira.
