Pena Palace + Quinta da Regaleira Tickets at National Palace Of Pena Park

Pena Palace + Quinta da Regaleira Tickets

Skip the queues at two of Sintra's most spectacular attractions with this combined ticket to Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira. You'll explore Portugal's fairy-tale palace perched high above the town, then delve into the mysterious underground world of one of the country's most intriguing estates.

The National Palace of Pena showcases 19th-century Romanticism at its finest. Originally a monastery, King Ferdinand II transformed it into a royal residence with bold colours, ornate domes and decorative battlements. Inside, you'll discover rooms blending Gothic, Manueline and Moorish styles. The surrounding park contains exotic plants from around the world, hidden viewpoints and peaceful walking trails with stunning palace views.

Quinta da Regaleira offers a completely different experience. This early 20th-century estate was designed by Italian architect Luigi Manini for wealthy Brazilian António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro. The property combines Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architecture with elaborate gardens full of symbolic features. Your included digital audio guide reveals the estate's secrets as you explore underground tunnels, mysterious grottoes and the famous Initiation Well.
