Parques de Sintra Review

The castle is very beautiful, the park is beautiful.

I loved this castle .... Although everyone is visiting Pena ..... I preferred, and by many this one

The garden and green area are very beautiful, but the palace is not well maintained and has almost no furniture.

An aesthetic success, a garden as only Sintra can offer, the setbacks of a great English family, a resuscitated heritage.

I loved everything. Manicured spaces, attractive trails, places to stop and enjoy some sandwiches and admire the wonderful nature

Palace with spectacular architecture and very beautiful gardens!

Wonderful place to visit ... worth the price for a family of 4 people

A unique and unforgettable experience, very friendly and attentive staff, bathrooms with changing facilities, the palace and gardens are simply incredible, the photos do not live up to the beauty of this place. surely it won't be the last time i go there ...

Must visit in Sintra. Example of romanticism expressed in the gardens of the Palace. Very well restored.

Beautiful location.
Full of history
Wonderful gardens.

Very beautiful palace, but it is not furnished. The gardens and the outdoor area are beautiful.

Beautiful place. Beautiful vegetation, architecture and surroundings. Full relax. I recommend this place.

WARNING! Don't leave valuables in the car. On September 27, our car was robbed in the parking lot. They took everything. :(

On April 13, I did something already habitual, to know what we have of the best in our country and I visited, alone, the park and palace of Monserrate.

This type of visits, which I do have as sole objective to know what we have of most beautiful in our country.

This time, I was not disappointed at all.
The park was well maintained, something just possible with the work of people who like what they do.
An exemplary cleanliness that enhances the romantic ambiance even more.

The entire Sintra parks team was attentive and always friendly and available to answer questions that the visitors put in without showing any sign of dislike.

The security that was on duty, was super affordable and available to help, when asked about what better ways to do, along the park, was super friendly, without responding to "dispatch", giving up tips from places we would definitely enjoy.

With this, I would like to thank you, for you are an example of what we have the best, of our country, to present to the world.

A big thank you to everyone.

Both the building and the surrounding garden are well kept and maintained

Very nice park, it would have been nice to visit some furnished rooms.

Very beautiful, well worth knowing and enjoy the road that takes you to the place !!!!
Portugal is essential to rent a car, you can enjoy the country too much, all very close !!!

A really nice place to spend half a day walking through the gardens, very well looked after

Just simply delightful. The video of Mr Westbury talking about his childhood experiences of living there adds a touch of whimsy that is like the cherry on the pudding.

The surrounding area is very beautiful as the palace is worth visiting.

The palace is tiny, but very pretty, a visit will not take much time.

The park is extraordinary! Many varieties of plants in a salt and down paths, beautiful!

Beautiful place, does require a little bit of walking up and down paths to get to the palace. Take comfortable footwear. Nice to watch the sun go down.The light bounces off trees and creates interesting shadows.

Lovely inside and outside as a structure. We were there at the end of September and Rose Garden was not as beautiful as expected.

Worth the price of 8 Euros. The garden is grand, even in winter, but there are no roses. The palace is very beautiful and has been restored since 2010.

Beautiful the palace and the garden-meadow. It deserves a visit

Nice place... Enjoyed the gardens with trees and plants from all across the world.. botanical garden with an added 'touristic' touch, makes it a pleasant experience.. apart from the Palace itself

Park and Palace beautiful, very clean and well kept gardens

If you arrive in Lisbon it is near unforgettable not to make an exit in the small town of Sintra. Trains to this destination are very frequent and the journey up to about 40 minutes but here you will definitely not get bored because you have many palaces and castles to visit.
From the station you have 2 possibilities to make the routes of palaces and castles.
A) You can choose a tour with tuk-tuk (light car discovered with 5-8 seats). For this you will pay 25 euros per person.
Those who organize these tours say that it will take you 4-5 hours. They will wait for you in every location you want to see until you return to your car. Personally I think you need a day to enjoy all the goals. Entries to castles / palaces will be paid in addition to the 25 euros for transport.
B) You can make routes with the buses provided by the authorities. These are 2 minutes walk from the train station. The price of a ticket is 12 euros. - Lisbocard does not offer you a discount. Taking such a ticket you have 3 established routes. These 3 routes will take you to all the objectives.
You have the opportunity to get off at what you want, to visit it and to wait for another bus to your next destination. (Hop in Hop off as many times as you like) The disadvantage of this second option, that of the bus, is that to visit all the objectives each time you must return to Sintra from where you will choose the next route.

At the time of the visit, Monserrate villa, as this was the purpose of the construction was in rehabilitation. There were no exposed furniture and no access to the upper level.
The gardens around the building are very spacious and beautiful. A walk of about 45-75 minutes will suffice. The price of tickets depends on the period of visit. Between 6 and 8 euros. This price offers a discount for those who own Libocard. There is also a discount for those under 18 but also for those over 65.

The opening time is 09.30 - 10.00 - depending on the season in which you visit - the closing time 17.00 -19.00 for the Palace and 18.00 -20.00 for the garden. The last ticket for the palace is offered 30 minutes before the closing time for the palace and 60 minutes before the closing time for the gardens.

In 2013 he won the European Garden Award in the category Best Development of a Historic Park or Garden

Gorgeous worth the trip to Sintra gardens hilly guy in cafeteria gave us a ride to the gate it was dark we were lost thank you Marc

A place of sleep. Spectacular scenery and an incredible castle. I recommend it

One of the main tourist spots in Sintra. This palace and its gardens to personal taste are perhaps the ones we liked the least compared to the rest such as the Palacio da Pena, the Quinta da Regaleira or the Castelo dos mouros (among others). If you go to visit it and plan to go later to other monuments or palaces, it is a good place to buy tickets for everyone else, since the queue is not very crowded and then you will avoid waiting in other places to already have tickets.

I love el.norye of Spain. Everything is wonderful and it's nice to be

Entry value is expensive. But it is definitely worth the price. Very beautiful place with magnificent gardens. About 3 hours of walking. There is a park at the entrance, but on busy days, it can fill up quickly.

emblematic location, magnificent garden almost endless ... and crannies behind most places, always with more plants and stunning scenery. Great place to explore with time to enjoy it all.
As for the Palace with a well framed surrounding architecture, interior with a exelente exposure details ... always nice to revisit.

The palace is small but very worked, up to the door and with a large garden

Visited in early January. Disappointed!!!! The "Palace" is just a big house, barely a mansion really. Sure there are some nice designs but I really would have been happy if I hadn't wasted my time and money there. The garden is nice although not much to see in January. Skip it and save your money unless you like to walk in the garden.

One of the places is obligatory to visit when arriving in Sintra. Pleasant garden with an interesting palace. Recommend.

Really enjoy the palace and it's surroundings, it not fade on comparison of other major attractions of Sintra, it has beautiful gardens.

I loved it, the mixture of all kinds of fetuses is a dream. The tranquility of the gardens, I didn't come across anyone.

Beautifully renovated artistic palace house, unfortunately without furniture or works of art. Beautiful park walk. Vaut le d tour.

The park is really beautiful and large with vegetation from different parts of the world and a relaxing atmosphere of tranquility. The well renovated house is to be discovered. The central corridor, the kitchens and the library are beautiful. A bit far from the old town of Sinatra.

Beautiful park, very well maintained, for nature lovers

We were outside the palace, just opposite. There, there is a natural park, very well signposted, to take a nice walk. We did not enter inside as we were going with our dogs and entry is not allowed.

Very nice, but it does not seem correct to me, that a wedding is being celebrated, and it has restricted areas and they charge you the same and do not warn you

Peaceful, well-manicured garden including a rose garden and fern valley. Interesting history of the ownership of the building and its use over the years including WWII.

Visited in March 2018,some construction work going on around palace,interior however it stunning

Being from California, I got a real Hearst Castle vibe of a lesser scale

Amazing palace with beautiful garden. It is worth to see for sure. 10/10!

It'sWonderful ,can definitely see while it's an UNESO designated place. Well worth a visit house amazing and Gardens a delight.

Wonderful. Even better on a grey day during the week, when most tourists will stay away ;)

I have already been to Monserrate twice and twice I was under construction. I find it a very expensive ticket for the size of the palace. But it is very beautiful.

Very unique eclectic Villa in a garden surrounding that is rare and beautiful. Eden

Worth to extend the road and visit the place. Bucolic and quiet place. Take your treadmill and lie down on the grass to enjoy moments of relaxation. He deserved a little more care in the gardens. I recommend the visit in the spring as there are beautiful gardens.
