Sintra: Pena Palace and Park Entrance Ticket - The journey from Sintra to the hilltop

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

Pena Palace ticket review: explore Sintra’s colorful Romantic palace, exotic park, Chalet of Countess Edla, transport tips, crowds, and value.

“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.”

“Our small group tour (group of 7) wouldn't be possible if it is not with our warm, amazing and energetic Tour guide, Sara. The way she provided all the detailed itinerary about the tour. You can tell that she's knowledgeable and very engaging. Everything has been taken care of including having an extra umbrella, buying a ticket, & recommending what best restaurant to eat at. We were be able to see all in a right time, plus a bonus tourist spot (Mouth of Hell) because it was along the way. The group size was appropriate for a Van Vehicle, it didn't affect the comfort during the transport. We appreciate Sara's…”

“I had an amazing time on my day trip to Sintra, Pena palace and Cascais. I went by myself and had the best time - our group and our guide Rui were absolutely wonderful. Rui told us loads about the history, culture and language and was a gem of a guide, extremely welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw so many amazing places in one day that I only wish there was more time in a day to explore them for longer. A reason to come back again:) Overall would highly recommend!”

“We had a fantastic day trip to Sintra and Cascais with Rodrigo from Happy Tours. Although our visit to Pena Palace was unfortunately delayed due to an unexpected closure, Rodrigo handled the situation with great consideration and resourcefulness. He quickly adjusted the itinerary to ensure we still experienced the charm of Sintra, including some hidden gems we might have otherwise missed. The trip was well-organized and absolutely worth the money, with thoughtful touches throughout—especially the surprise gift at the end, which made the day feel extra special. Rodrigo’s knowledge, friendliness, and ability to turn an unexpected challenge into a memorable experience truly stood out. Highly re...”

“My wife and I took this day trip to Sintra, Pena Palace & Quinta da Regaleira yesterday. Our guide Carlos was amazing. The pick up was as expected. We were in a small group of 8 people fitting comfortably into the tour guide mini bus. Carlos was fun, attentive and knowledgeable. We always had good information on timings and what was happening next. We fitted in two detailed guided tours, with time to explore the historical centre, have a lunch and generally not feel rushed. We would recommend this tour to all ages as a wonderful day out from Lisbon. Many thanks to Carlos who made sure we were all…”

The Pena Palace was amazing to see in person as was the Montserrat palace. Lots of walking, but we expected that and the little shops and restaurants in Sintra were charming. We were very satisfied with this tour!”

“We had a fantastic time visiting Sintra and Cascais. Felipe was a superb guide with a wealth of knowledge about absolutely everything regarding Sintra and the history of Portugal in general. Be sure to at least purchase the tickets for the Palace tour as Felipe escorts you himself and the information he provided was as vast and as thorough as could be. Its a long day but well worth the time.”
