Sintra is the most visited day trip from Lisbon, and the number one reason tours go wrong is Pena Palace tickets. We pre-book your timed entry the moment you book, so your visit is the fairy tale it should be, not a queue.
Your private guide picks you up at your Lisbon hotel, at the airport or at the cruise port and drives you to Sintra in about 40 minutes. At Pena Palace you walk straight past the ticket line with your pre-booked timed-entry ticket and explore the most colorful palace in Portugal, its state rooms and sweeping views, at your own pace with your guide. Where possible, we time your Pena entry to avoid the worst of the crowds.
With the time remaining, stroll Sintra's UNESCO-listed historic center, home of the famous travesseiro pastries, or swap the center for Quinta da Regaleira and its 27-meter Initiation Well (Regaleira admission not included). Around 4 hours door to door, on your schedule: the essential Sintra, made for layovers, cruise calls and short stays.
