Parques de Sintra Review

Beautiful garden and a lovely building, but both need more restauration and better maintenance. However, great place to spend a day, just bring some food and something to drink

Splendid! A lush garden, a palace of Arabian Nights, not to be missed. The small restaurant a very good welcome fresh produce, in the shade on the terrace, a quality breakfast on the go! A very good moment!

I've been there a couple of times and it's always a good experience!

Very pretty gardens. Recommended to spend a very pleasant afternoon walking

One of the historic wonders of Sintra to visit. Ticket gives access to visit the palace and the huge park / gardens around. Although the palace is stripped of all its original interior / filling (sold at auction), it is possible to perceive the charm and historical footprint of the space. It has access roads with reduced mobility. Discounts for children and seniors

It is one of the places in Sintra that is the least advertised but I was one of the places I liked the most. It is a dream palace with large gardens. You can make the visit on foot with its corresponding slopes .... although we took a train and the guide was very kind explaining the history and describing the places to us.
It has many species of plants distributed in different areas so it is pleasing to the eye and allows deep breathing!
The interior of the palace is devoid of furniture in most of the rooms, but the details carved on the walls are very beautiful.
You can get to this place by taking line 435 in the square of the national palace of sintra because it is far on foot and is not recommended due to the traffic and the narrowness of the roads.

I have visited the park, but I went down all''entrata the minibus, and then took a path in the woods a short distance, to reach after a few hours of walking, the Monastery of the Capuchins ... one of the attractions of Sintra, recently visited because hidden in a charming forest and that makes you feel the atmosphere of past centuries ... the Monastery now no more religious place but it retains a special charm ... it is almost set within cork-lined walls covering benches chapels cells of the monks, cork of which the wooded area is rich ... very original visit and to recommend ...

It is a unique place for its architectural importance, for its unmistakable beauty, both inside and outside. It was the subject of a remarkable work in terms of restoration. It is an icon and a national pride.

The park is magnificent and the visit to the palace is very interesting. One of the must-see visits in Sintra

The building is very beautiful, but also take some time to visit the park (... in truth it is a botanical garden ...) that really deserves it !!!

Very beautiful place. With nice gardens. The palace itself is nothing special, apart from the external beauty and some nice rooms, not least because it started to be really restored a few years ago, since it was abandoned before. Some more detailed tourist information is missing from the map that visitors receive, as well as the species of local flora. Do not change Quinta da Regaleira, for example, for this palace.

Incredible palace. The gardens are very steep for walking. Well worth the visit.

It is as if you are in a paradise, the garden is wonderful and the palace incredible

A stunning palace, and an amazing garden. The mix of flora from different continents creates a dreamlike feel. It was less busy than the other palaces and a much more enjoyable visit.

Absolutely loved the gardens. They are full of unusual species and massive specimen trees. The house has some interesting features, especially the entrance hall but the main attraction is the gardens. Toilets and cafe on site.

Park and Palace of Monserrate ...
Magical place like all places in Sintra ...

In this place with Middle Eastern flavors you will find one of the most beautiful botanical parks, a place suitable for all ages, beautiful and harmonious, colorful and full of plants from all over the world ...
Really recommended, it is a place that makes you love right away, then however it is difficult to make mistakes in Sintra where all the places are beautiful!

Not even inconvenient to reach from the center!

Amazing architecture and Gardens, Be prepared for uphills walking or you can get hop on off for 3.

Beautiful palace and garden.

Just skip the cafe - the worst coffee in Portugal.

A must Sintra. Do not skip this place where you will enjoy strolling. Suitable for all ages.

I truly recommend a visit to this area. There is a lot to see. It's really gorgeous, especially with the right guide to take you around.

Large garden with old trees. It has an area dedicated to roses, another to cacti, inside there is a cafeteria and you can hire a tuc tuc transport service inside. I liked what they call "false ruins". If you go to more than one of the visitor centers paying them at the same time, they discount 5 percent of the total.

Very well maintained historic site with several wonderful gardens, it is worth visiting.

Spectacular gardens, the palace as a museum is not worth it

It is not so much the palace itself that it is worth seeing its central corridor with its romantic decoration. The five stars are for their gardens. Careful with great care. Incredible photos. I recommend to explore it thoroughly and leave at least 2 or 3 hours and see it in depth.

The Moorish architecture dominates this location. In its incredible detail, this place is a stunner. It's a beautiful location for an event.

Beautiful! We were surprised that there we no bugs. We went in the fall and it was very nice.

Very beautiful for a family outing especially in spring to see the Rosary area.

I was pleasantly surprised by this palace. It is beautiful, they have left it perfectly restored. Very, very beautiful.

Definitely worth seeing. Small Einod with beautiful park with many exotic plants.

Nice botanical park, interesting building, but nothing special.

What is the proper word to describe this place, eh? I think amazing is the one. Most people coming to Sintra tend to skip this palace, but actually I think it is one of the must visit place in Sintra. There are less people here, waay less, so you can take pictures of the beautiful gardens and surrounding nature as much as you like without people photobombing your shots. Aside of that, the palace itself is a real beauty. Its intricate wall and design is ready to take your breath away.

Absolutely amazing place, the gardens the tranquility and the place itself are just so special.
Definitely recommended to stay for an afternoon and really enjoy the setting and wonderful gardens, we stayed for afternoon tea but could stayed longer.
The story behind restoration is also very interesting, the palace is a stunning piece of architecture. Well worth the visit!

Simply wonderful, by the way like all the mountains of Sintra ..... magical

A beautiful place with a magic garden. I highly recommend

Well worth a visit, the palace underwent a restoration work keeping the original features well preserved.

The palace can be visited inside, it is very beautiful. It has a very large garden to walk around.

A beautiful place to spend the afternoon on a sunny day!

Very cute. One of the places I liked the most !! Worth knowing!!

Small palace in a beautifully landscaped park. I've enjoyed it

Wonderful!! It's worth going early to get to know the whole castle, without haste ... lots to explore!

One of the sumptuous palaces of the Sintra area, as for its park ideal for those who know how to appreciate all the beauty and in the slightest details, do not hesitate: go and discover this palace and its wonders

Not one of the most famous, but it is very nice and the gardens are spectacular. Keep in mind that you have to walk a lot

Beautiful unique, a real palace, I paint very nice and maintained

I really enjoyed the Garden which is huge, has several species of plants and flowers. I really liked the Montserrat Palace, because it has beautiful architecture ...

Amazing gardens, views, and home of what were respectively, at the time, the richest and third richest men in Great Britain. Completely restored as was a ruin last time I visited.

A beautiful place to stroll, I loved the prominences of the palace and all that nature in the park!
