Magical place, really worth the 6 Euros. So much to see and small hidden places . One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

20-30min. train trip from Lisbon to Sintra. Absolutely beautiful and definitely worth it. The gardens are like a maze! Take a map and make sure to explore the caves too!

Martin Gillet

Great Landmark , awesome time out with family. Stunning views & fun whereabouts (incl. the caves ) within the properties. Caring Staff , big thank you to Bruno Cardoso First Aid as kids felt down ...

Geert Smets

This place is absolutely worth a visit because of its gardens . Take about 2 hours to explore them. It's only a short walk from the historic center of Sintra so no need to take a taxi .

Elena Eniushkina

Excellent place for children and adults. Don’t forget to install the application or pick up an audio guide. Attention! Excellent time killer. You can even forget to watch the time.

Petra Rosanics

one of the most astonishing experiences of my travels - I cannot really describe how magical this estate is. Get yourself a great guide or a book because the story of this place is amazing!

Nuno Basto de Lima

Awesome place to visit, specially during hot days. Very cool, with plenty to see, even if you just want to stay in the gardens . They should ask for money (tickets) and use it for some renovations.

Kim Loane

Plan to spend at least 2 hours wandering around the most wonderful and quirky garden you will ever experience. More quirky than Park Guell in Barcelona maybe.

DJ Strouse

A must-see day trip from Lisbon. Basically a playground for adults. Give yourself a few hours to explore all the hidden tunnels and staircases.

Andrei Tarnovski

Absolutely the best palace I've ever seen in Europe. And make sure to walk all the hidden tunnels and caves in the garden . 1day isn't enough

Alyssa Guo

Secret passages, beautiful mansion, Dante's inferno realized in a well , definitely one of my favorite places in sintra. Would revisit with kids. They would have a blast

Dasha M.

Gorgeous park and place to visit! It's also entertaining with the wells and underground passes. Definitely worth a visit if in Sintra

Florian Isachsen

Nice old house. The really magnificent thing is the garden with its many hidden paths and stairs leading up and down the hills , little grottos like secret paths, stunning plants...

Shreenath Regunathan

Come get lost in the mazes, the subterranean well and the rest of the merriment. Pro Tip - ask the front desk for a recommended route to navigate it best!

Olmedo Miranda

For me this is the best Castle in Sintra. Huge with lots of secrets. Prepare to walk for a while!

Sintra's answer to Disneyland. Expect: beauty from a far... concrete structures up close. Visit: The Initiation Well . Bring: a flashlight, spare socks and a camera .

Tobias Otte

What a strange, mystical places. Watch out, it will take some time to explore all the bits and pieces. But it's worth it. Surprises after every corner.

Marcus

Disneyland for adults. Bring a picnic and someone who likes you for who you are as a person. Impress them with fine champagne , jewelry and fast cars...and this place.

Beautiful complex. Definitely a must see if you’re in Sintra. It’s also very romantic !!

An adult’s playground ! Walk, learn and explore through the vast gardens , palace , even underground tunnels !

Incredible place. You could spend half a day easily. All parks at Sintra are like something out of a magical story. It's amazing!!!

Underground grottos and alchemy influenced architecture . Little scary and on the dark side, but great design and implementation. 100+ pages of drawings and 12 years of work.

Maria Pires

Beautiful and magical place... no words to describe it you need to go there and see it!

Probably the best site of interest in Sintra. Def must! Do it and Montserrat, then can skip Pena and Sintra Royal Palace in town . Initiation Well is amazing
