Top Attractions in Sintra
💡 Start from the town's train station and follow the PR6 trail to Pena Palace and then down to the cliffs. Wear sturdy shoes – the cobbled paths are slippery when wet.
💡 The audioguide is included and excellent – it explains the tile patterns in detail. Go on a weekday afternoon for quieter halls.
💡 Buy the combined ticket with Pena Palace online to save a few euros. Visit the Initiation Well last – it gets crowded by mid-morning.
💡 Skip the queue by booking online. The park alone is worth a visit for the views over the coast, and you can walk up from town via forest trails to save the bus fare.
💡 Go early (before 10am) to have the walls almost to yourself. It's a steep 20-minute walk from the historic centre, but the exercise is worth it for the silence.
