Costs of sights and transportation can get pricey. Walk to QR from old town and off to castle in afternoon on a single round trip ticket. Tourist bus travel can overwhelm sites. All day ticket on bus to see two more sites and the north ocean and the most western site. Travel desk will help with transportation questions. Immogen is a great place to eat.

We loved Sintra. It was a wonderful, quiet respite from city life. Don't miss the Quinta da Regaleira, especially the Initiation Well. The grounds are like a fantasy of old buildings, with huge trees and beautiful, natural landscape . . . like being in a movie (Maybe The Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter). The Pena Palace is a much larger tourist attraction, but doesn't compare to the beauty of the Quinta da Regaleira. The Moorish Castle is also awesome, but lots of climbing, so wear comfortable shoes. There are also many good restaurants in the area, and cute shops in which to shop.

Sintra is great - so much to see! But in case you'd think it is a charming and quiet little town - think again! It's very crowded, loud and partly annoying at least during the day when all the tourist come from Lisbon and wherever else. In the evening its a bit more idyllic. Traffic is chaotic but you can walk to all the wonderful sites - even to the Pena-Palace on a nice footpath up the hill.

Stayed 6 nights in Sintra and enjoyed every minute of it. Day trippers definitely crowded up the town and the sites, but if you start your day early, you can beat the crowds and have a wonderful time, returning back to the central town in the late afternoon once the buses have departed. One night is definitely not enough. Two minimum, but if you want a good mix of relaxation and exploration, stay 3 or more.

This is a beautiful area with two incredible palacios Unfortunately it is "over loved." Do your best to spend at least one night, come mid-week and during the off-off season. We were there in early May and it was packed during the day. Traffic crawls into this area. And tour buses are slow and wide on the narrow streets. Loads of people get off the train from Lisbon. Good news the crowds disappear around 6 and the town quiets down. Unfortunately both the Palacio National and Placio Pena, get packed with tour groups which can be extremely annoying. We were at Pena when gates opened and had about 30 minutes before bus tour hoards arrived. If early May was crowded I can't imagine prime summer weekends. I have found Google Maps to be no fail on my trip to Portugal. I used a Galaxy Tablet 7 (not phone) which has a built in satellite connection that I didn't even know I had until someone showed me how to down load the ap from Google Playstore. Very easy to enter a destination and it follows my tablet with a blue headlight symbol everywhere, so I know when I missed a turn.

Very nice town, with various nearby palaces and accompanying parks and gardens, each quite different from the others. Each one probably merits a half-day or more. It is a shame that so many people visit Sintra just as a day trip, spending little time, and being there when it is most crowded with other day-trippers. Especially loved the palace and vast park at Pena, and dinner at InComun.
“Beautiful Palace with grand interiors, amazing pool and well maintained gardens. Quiet rooms with great views, very comfortable beds and classic bathrooms. The breakfast was the best we had in Portugal - incredible fresh fruit, juices, pastries and hot selection. Only a 10min walk to the Centre of Sintra. Wonderful staff who where always on hand to help. We had dinner at the restaurant which was delicious.”
“The owner was very helpful, esp with advice on where to see the beauty of The Sintra region, from forests and palaces to beaches. Great value. Car is a necessity for getting there.”
“Sintra is picturesque and this hotel is the perfect location to take advantage of everything there is to see! The staff was friendly and accommodating. They helped us park our car, got us all settled in our room, and offered wonderful suggestions for dinner. I wish we could have stayed for more than one night. Great value!”
“Great location in old town of Sintra, really near the National Palace and bus stop to other castles, etc. Lovely breakfasts. Honesty bar and free cake every day!”
“Location is great, interior arrangement recalls a bit boutique hotels.”
