1-Day Sintra, Portugal Itinerary 🇵🇹 Mystical Garden at Quinta da Regaleira is a must!

Fairytale castles, mystical gardens, and breathtaking views! 🚆 Getting There • Take a train from Lisbon Rossio Station to Sintra (40 min, €2.30 one way). • Once in Sintra, use bus 434 (€11.50 hop-on-hop-off). Top Tip: Don’t use Uber/Bolt if you could, they don’t follow the normal fare and will keep cancelling even though the drivers accepted your booking, waiting you to raise the fares! 📍 Itinerary Morning ☀️ 🔹 Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) – The most famous and colourful palace in Sintra! Arrive early (opens 9:00 AM) to beat the crowds. Enjoy the stunning views and explore the romantic gardens. (€14 entry) 🔹 Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) – A short walk from Pena Palace, these medieval ruins offer incredible panoramic views over Sintra and the coast. (€8 entry) Afternoon 🌿 🔹 Quinta da Regaleira – A mystical estate filled with underground tunnels, enchanting gardens, and the famous Initiation Well. A must-visit! (€11 entry) 🔹 Sintra Historic Centre – Stroll around the charming old town, grab a Travesseiro pastry from Piriquita Bakery, and explore the little shops. 💡 Extra Time? Visit Palácio de Monserrate, a hidden gem with gorgeous gardens and Moorish-Gothic architecture. 🚆 Heading Back • Take the train back to Lisbon Rossio Station (last train ~11 PM). 💡 Tips ✅ Wear comfortable shoes – Lots of walking and hills! ✅ Book tickets online to avoid long queues. ✅ Bring a light jacket – Sintra can be cooler than Lisbon. A magical day trip that feels like stepping into a storybook! ✨ #favouriteitinerary #sintra #sintramagic
