Pena Palace and Park Entry Tickets in Sintra

To get to the steep slope constructed by the Baron of Eschwege that leads to the castle-like structure, one must travel via the eastern portion of the Park of Pena. The palace itself is divided into two wings: the 19th-century wing constructed by King Ferdinand II and the former Manueline monastery of the Order of St. Jerome. A third architectural component, a fanciful representation of an imaginary castle with walkable walls that includes battlements, watchtowers, an entrance tunnel, and even a drawbridge, encircles these wings.

Bart was amazing! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to Pena Palace and Quinta de Regaleira. These are beautiful sights to experience! We drove up the mountain and walked no longer than 8 minutes to the Palace! We got to skip the line, which was awesome on such a busy day. We were also able to explore the center of town on our own for a little bit.

Unforgetable!

If you value a thoughtful, knowledgeable and personalized tour of Sintra Portugal this one is for you! Our tour guide Diogo was gracious, and went the extra mile to be sure that our experience was memorable and fun-filled. His responsive texts in advance to arrange transport in a comfortable minivan instead of vintage car, greatly accomodated my tall husband and assured his comfort due to problems walking. This openness to assist us right from the start was very much appreciated and the tour itself was personal and amazing! Diogo was considerate and helpful throughout and we learned so much about the region through his colorful stories and folklore. The narrative was outstanding, complete with historical pictures to give depth and understanding of the rich culture. We laughed, took plenty of pictures, learned a lot and ended with a small keepsake gift of our adventure... a beautiful and generous added touch! I am so very glad that we found the 'Private Local Tour: Palaces & Coast by Classic Car or Jeep' tour company. We truly enjoyed our experience and would not have wanted to tour Sintra any other way!

Sintra is a must do activity

You can hit all the main attractions in a half day tour of sintra. The tour guide was great and gave us lots of tips and expert background on each location. Make sure to buy tickets to the castles ahead of time to save time and get the best time slots as they sell out fast. Even if you don’t get tickets to enter the castles, they are enjoyable enough from the outside and you still get to see amazing views. Also gave us the inside scoop on the best places to eat while in Portugal. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

Moorish castle and Pena visit

Moorish walk is a bit of hike. Pena palace can get crowded quick I would bring snacks or food in case cafe is closed in our case very crowded at Pena with poor selection. Guides were amazing we had Jorge and Diego and they accommodated our large multi generational group with kids. Highly recommend without a guide it would have been hour or more wait to get into Pena

An Unforgettable Private Day in Sintra with Miguel

We had an absolutely amazing private day in Sintra with Miguel, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, Miguel went above and beyond to make the day special, comfortable, and memorable for our family. Our day included the magical Park and National Palace of Pena, the incredible Quinta da Regaleira, the breathtaking cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and beautiful Cascais. Miguel made every stop feel meaningful and perfectly paced. He shared wonderful stories, local insight, and helpful historical context, while also giving us time to enjoy each place without ever feeling rushed. What made the day especially memorable was Miguel’s kindness, flexibility, and attention to detail. Traveling as a family, it meant so much to have someone who was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely cared about making the experience special for everyone. Sintra is already a magical destination, but Miguel made it unforgettable. From Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira to Cabo da Roca and Cascais, every part of the day was beautifully planned and full of wonderful memories. We are so grateful for the care he put into the experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly personal, memorable, and exceptional private tour.

Thank you Pedro!

Pedro was a wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable and started off by giving the entire history of the country, leading up to Sintra and how these beautiful sites became what they are today. He was very patient and answered every question that we had. He gave us suggestions for lunch and waited patiently as we took our time in Sintra. I could not recommend this tour enough.

Amazing tour with an equally amazing tour guide!! We loved Nuno! He was extremely knowledgeable, considerate, personable, and the perfect tour guide. He made us feel very comfortable and taught us a lot about the history of the area. We didn't have enough time to tour the well, but the Pena palace was outstanding, and the lakes trail was beautiful. We highly recommend Nuno and this tour!

Personalized excursion

Nuno made our outing extra special with all the details—how to access the palace with the shortest wait time, the best photo opportunity for the Moor castle, how to order our pastry and enjoy it in the palace garden in Sintra, etc. The list is too long. He has a wealth of historical knowledge and is very personable. We definitely think it was worth the splurge.

Excellent experience! We loved this tour. It was highly customizable and we were able to go and do only what we wanted to in the moment. Our guide, Ginar, was very knowledgeable about the history, vegetation, and current affairs of the region. He gave us excellent recommendations and steered us clear of the “traps” where there were lengthy waits for little reward. We had a truly wonderful day. I cannot recommend this tour more!
