@jesslouiseellis: What to know about day tripping to Sintra from Lisbon in Portugal 👇🏼 🚂 You can easily catch the train from Rossio station, it takes about 40 minutes. 🚌 Some of Sintra is walkable, but you can also get around by bus or Tuk Tuk. Note: the busses do get busy in peak hours. 🏰 Choose only one popular destination and head there first (and pre-buy your tickets!). Fill the rest of your day with exploring and lunching in the small town, or going to the lesser known villas and palaces. 📋 If you don’t want to bother with self-navigating, book a guided day trip to get the most out of your time there. #sintra #visitsintra #portugal #visitportugal #portugaltips #londontravelblogger #uktravelblogger

Biggest mistake was not staying in Sintra for atleast a night!! We just did two nights and it was perfect, relaxing, non-rushed etc!

1. Pena palace has no line after 3pm. Book your tickets from then onwards, it’s totally worth going to. And the well is worth the wait and it didn’t

I must say you went on an amazing day because Sintra is usually cloudy. In summer it is crazy but I recommend going end of September or spring.

My tips: book Pena for the first entry of the day (get an early train from Lisbon) - hardly a line and not crowded at all

We basically did the same thing you did, but with a car. Would 100% recommend a guided tour next time-driving there is wild if you’re not used to it!

It’s hard to do Sintra the ‘right’ way to be fair to you! It’s overrun with tourism right now. Went in 2017 and it was entirely different than 2022

We booked a jeep tour with Wonder Van to see Sintra I'd def recommend! We did the Regaleira, Coba de Roca, Pena Palace gardens, and a wine tasting 🥰

You can get a travel guide and you don’t wait in any lines

You need to get a tuk-tuk when you get there, is around 20€ pp. And buy the tickets online. Also no line is that long, not even at Pena

I really wanted to see Monserrate but Quinta was great! We went about an hour and a half before close with no crowds.

Definitely recommend going in early March instead! Still a bit of a queue at Peña but nothing awful and we did the well twice!

I was there 2 days as a resident of Sintra and had no issues. To avoid lines near the well, just go early

It depends, when we went to pena we went around noon time and the line wasn’t long at all…probably because it was lunch time
