No. 4 of Best Things to Do in Portugal

Quinta da Regaleira

Quinta da Regaleira is located near the historic center of Sintra in Portugal. As part of the cultural landscape of Sintra, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is one of the main tourist attractions in Sintra. Quinta da Regaleira includes the romanticist Regaleira Palace, Regaleira Chapel, and a park featuring lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and numerous exquisite structures. This estate is also known as "The palace of Monteiro the Millionaire." In the center of the manor stands a small curved city wall adorned with carvings of divine creatures. Passing through the wall and traversing a 10 m-long cave leads to an inverted tower-style deep well called the "Well of revelation." This well was not built for drawing water but for ceremonial purposes: its approx. 27 m-deep walls contain nine spiral stone steps—some say representing the nine founders of the Knights Templar, while others associate them with the nine circles of hell in Dante's Divine Comedy. The well's floor also bears a compass pattern with the Templar cross. Initiates were reportedly blindfolded and armed with swords as they descended the spiral staircase to the well's bottom, then groped through dark tunnels toward light. Both the upper and lower sections of the well connect to an underground tunnel network leading to the Labyrinth cave, Chapel cave, and waterfall lake. Entering through the Guardian's Gate, explorers eventually emerge from the well's midsection—the entire experience resembling a labyrinthine adventure. The garden also houses an "Unfinished well," featuring straight ladders linking circular platforms, contrasting sharply with the spiral staircase design of the Well of revelation.

Miradouro do Suberco

Located in the O Sítio district of the coastal town of Nazaré in central Portugal, Miradouro do Suberco is one of the most famous spots for ocean views. Perched on the edge of a cliff, it overlooks the entire town and the Atlantic Ocean, offering panoramic views of the golden beach, deep blue sea, and rugged cliffs. Visit in the early morning or evening to watch the sunrise or sunset, where the interplay of light, shadow, and sea breeze creates a truly atmospheric experience. From here, you can also see the famous Praia de Nazaré beach, the town center, the lighthouse, and the harbor. The expansive views of the endless coastline and the sea are truly refreshing. Transportation is convenient; you can walk up from the center of Nazaré or take the local cable car/funicular. The scenery along the way is beautiful, perfect for a leisurely stroll while taking photos. Public facilities include viewing platforms and rest areas, making it perfect for a leisurely half-day itinerary.
