The palace is nothing short of amazing and breathtaking. The most beautiful one in the area, in my opinion. Take a walk around the gardens for a relaxing experience. The entrance and exit are on a somewhat steep hill, so be aware and wear comfortable shoes.

The place itself is a very good visit. But the buses going there are small, do not fit a lot of people. Uber doesn't work that well up there. And taxis are sparse. So if it's busy, when you want to leave, you're in for a wait.

It’s a nice big garden and a sweet little palace. Worth a visit if you are ok with paying entrance.

If you’re in Sintra, you have to go here. It’s a not to be missed destination. Take 435 a bus from near the train station. This bus runs approximately every 20 minutes and return ticket costs 5€ p/p. You’d enjoy wonderful and peaceful gardens. This was a wonderful relaxing spot after the hustle and bustle of Pena Castle.

This is a must see at the Lisbon area. If you skip this you could not talk about the whole beauty you can find in Lisbon No words to describe it. Yes, is that nice@

The garden is the best, the castel was in renovation whe i got there.

(Translated by Google) Monserrate Palace and botanical garden, one of the most beautiful places I have seen in Portugal, a walk from Sintra in the Sierra, with a botanical garden that delights those who visit it, can not stay behind in the visit to Sintra and its surroundings. (Original) Palacio de Monserrate y jardín botánico, unos de los lugares mas bonitos que he visto en Portugal, a un paseo de Sintra en plena Sierra, con un jardín botánico que hace las delicias que quienes lo visitan, no se puede quedar a tras en la visita a Sintra y sus alrededores.

Maybe my opinion is jaded after having seen many castles across Portugal but the exterior of this one is definitely different and reminiscent of the Alhambra and Muslim sites, but the empty rooms and incomplete restoration left me a bit disappointed. It’s beautiful, certainly, but empty space where the memories of the past could be filling it?! Left a little to be desired. Also the gardens are mostly just gardens, the map isn’t useful, and the layout has nothing on Palácio Queluz.

I'd say this is the most beautiful place among all in Sintra. This palace is also the furthest away from Sintra's centre which makes it less frequented by tourists. We walked from Quinta da Regaleira but there's also a bus if you find a 3km walk too much. I would have stayed there for an entire day if I had the time but unfortunately we had to visit many others on that day. I'd say a minimum of 2 hours for a decent visit to this beautiful place if you want to enjoy the full landscape. Price for adults > 8 Euro/pers

Gorgeous place to walk around... both inside and outside. If you tour the whole property, it could take you about an hour depending on how much time you spend taking photos and observing. Beautiful plants to take in outside and glass, arches, and tiling inside.

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly beautiful. Easy public transport from Lisbon. (Original) Verrassend mooi doen. Gemakkelijk ov vanuit Lissabon.

Much prettier inside than Pena , the gardens are incredibly beautiful as well. Way less people than anywhere else in Sintra.

Beautiful garden and Palace. Good food at the cafeteria.

amazing scenery. loved it, couldn't get enough of it!

This place is beautiful. My son got married here and it was perfect.

Beautiful gardens and good for long walks and short hikes.

(Translated by Google) The palace and its gardens are stunning !! It is a peaceful and charming walk. (Original) O palácio e seus jardins são deslumbrantes!! É um passeio tranquilo e encantador.

If you absolutely love different plans and appreciate more flowers than architecture, then skip palaces and go right here from Sintra train station 2nd stop with bus 435. This place is absolutely stunning with it's size and huge variety of different plant species - from deserted to tropical plants. That garden with few big and small waterfalls is a true jungle paradise. Try to see it when weather is either rainy or about to rain, because there are much less people and plants looks better when they glow in rain! 11/10 will visit again.

An architecture that has went through various owners and represent one of the most notable Romanticism inspired landscapes in Portugal. It’s a well known retreat for writers who gets inspirations from the quiet environment surrounding the palace. We get to go through the different rooms to understand how the people in the past used the spaces for hosting parties, preparing meals, spent their times in rooms divided by genders. The ceiling of the ballroom is extremely detailed and impressive! Feeling like a princess walking through the royal corridor. Ticket to this palace cost 8€, 🤯 by the way, I love it that they have this QR code to scan and answer questions to win token. P/S: if you don’t like crowd like us, this would be a good place to begin cause it’s the furthest and most people would rush off for the popular palace first. Be prepared with lots of stairs.

Most relaxing castle environment. Far less foot traffic compared to the other castles in the area.

A very beautiful park! Nice place for walking with family! Also you can find a huge amount of different plants there.

Nicest Castle I have seen on my trip. Was quiet when I visited. Nice garden and views.

Loved this place, not too busy so you can take your time walking around. The park offers plenty of shade on a hot day. The palace itself isn't that big but the stunning architecture 100% makes up for it. Note that there isn't a place to eat nearby! So take something with you and have a picknick :)

It is worth visiting, the nature is amazing, and the palace is very beautiful

This is a Beautiful place inside and out! But if you are short on time and can't visit all of Sintra and you only have to choose one, I would recommend Quinta da Regaleira in the first place.

Visit it if time allows. You may walk around the park.

A beautiful palace in Sintra. We did not go inside the palace as we were in Sintra for half day. It looks marvellous from a view point up the hill.

(Translated by Google) Canon! Perfect for a nap! (Original) Canon ! Idéale pour une sieste !

Always packed with people, lots of traffic and insufficient public transport. Tried to go from the village to Pena and after two hours had to gave up, and walk back to Portela de Sintra, with children and elders. Bought tickets in advance and no refund whatsoever. TURIST TRAP TO AVOID.

You can't imagine what history and beauty there is here. Portugal was once one of the most powerful nations. There is an atmosphere of deep character and belief in themselves. And there are so many awe inspiring places.

Nice park with lovely locations. Inside palace is not so interesting, but park itself is amazing

So far, my favorite spot in PORTUGAL!!! Apparently not many tourists like to come here when they visit Sintra because it is far from the station. That makes this place even more special cause it is not busy as Pena Palace. It worth every second and you can bring some food and make picnic in one of the tables outise the park or even in the green area.

It's an incredible and charming place. The more you walk the more you love the flowers, trees and water fallings. Also, there are two lakes in front of the entrance of the park, upstairs going into the forest. We went at evening and it was amazing

Possibly the most beautiful place around Sintra and definitely the least crowded one! The garden was absolutely breathtaking, one could easily spend there a day just enjoying the nature. I'm really glad that we ended up going there, as it wasn't an obvious choice, being much less popular than Palacio de Pena for example. It did end up being our favourite place! A hint - the tea house actually has extremely good tea!

(Translated by Google) A shame! I hereby come to report what happened and to demonstrate the absolutely shameful behavior on the part of the Câmara de Sintra. On the 21st of October at 17.15hrs, our van was driving on rue barbosa du bocage when a tree fell completely on top of our vehicle, completely damaging its box. Since then we have made every effort to provide the requested elements (documents etc) and after 22 days of waiting, and with the van totally unusable, we received a communication from the Sintra Chamber indicating that it has no responsibility for what happened and that we should contact the "Parks of Sintra". In a country that is going through a pandemic, and in a company that pays all its commitments, taxes, it is a complete shame for the Sintra Chamber to act. (Original) Uma vergonha! venho por este meio relatar o sucedido e demonstrar o comportamento absolutamente vergonhoso por parte da Câmara de Sintra. No passado dia 21 de Outubro pelas 17.15hrs, a nossa carrinha circulava na rua barbosa du bocage quando uma árvore caiu por completo em cima da nossa viatura danificando por completo a caixa da mesma. Desde então fizemos todas as diligências para providenciar os elementos solicitados (documentos etc) e depois de 22 dias à espera, e com a carrinha totalmente inutilizada, recebemos uma comunicação da Câmara de Sintra indicando que não tem qualquer responsabilidade sobre o sucedido e que devemos contactar a "Parques de Sintra". Num país que atravessa uma pandemia, e numa empresa que paga todos os seus compromissos, impostos, é uma completa vergonha a atuação da Câmara de Sintra.

One of the outstanding places. The purl of Sintra heritage. Spent half a day here, enjoyed every minute. Take a bus or rent a scooter.

(Translated by Google) It is worth more for the green area than for the palace itself. The architecture is beautiful and alone. (Original) Vale mais pela área verde do que pelo palácio em si. A arquitetura é bonita e só.

The Monserrate palace has been beautifully restored. It's a peaceful place away from most of the tourists in Sintra. The gardens are huge, lush and beautiful with waterfalls and different zones. We spent at least an hour just walking the gardens. Expect a hilly hike around them and that the direction signs are confusing. We loved it

Sintra's beauty captivates and bewitches those who visit this paradise on earth.

If you are in Sintra. It's really uncool if you don't go for a visit.

We liked it because it was not as crazy as the other places and we had time to see everything without people breathing down your neck

Amazing gardens and a very nice palace, resemblig the Alhambra in Spain. Worth seeing!

My favorite place to visit in Sintra. It is so beautiful that as I walked inside the house I literally cried with delight. The whole place is so gorgeous, the most beautiful soft peach color, a lovely mix of formal and wild romantic gothic gardens, and architecture of my dreams.

Lovely gardens here. Trees and plants from all over. You can easily imagine you're in a different time and place. Lovely palace. Be prepared for the hills of course!

Particularly beautiful at night, an experience that is only offered some days in the year, and it was free. What's not to like?

Lovely place to visit. Very calm, green and somehow aside of tourist crowds. Worth visiting.

It's okay, tour is much shorter than you'd imagine, and no photos are allowed inside. The place is rammed, and most rooms are gated off, only allowing you to peer inside from the doorway. It looks good from a distance, but the palace itself isn't worth the walk to get to it.

This was so beautiful and peaceful!! Loved Fern Valley too. Loved how the palace was in the woods, secluded.

Nice park, maurish style palace. Very nicely built and decorated, but a little bit empty.
