Quinta da Regaleira

Regaleira is a 19th century Villa, known as Palácio da Regaleira. Located in the center of Sintra, it was bought by a Portuguese businessman who was fascinated by secret orders such as Freemasonry and the Templars. Regaleira was transformed into a palace surrounded by gardens, lakes, caves and enigmatic constructions, symbolic places, typical of secret societies and rituals. A unique monument influenced by Romantic, Neo-Gothic, and Manueline architecture. To visit Quinta da Regaleira, please book in advance (11h30 slot), as it gets sold out in advance. You can book on the official shop: regaleira by blueticket or simply inform the team and we book for you (subject to availability). Also note Regaleira's visit requires walking from the Sintra centre, and once inside, gardens can be hilly - easily doable if you are used to walking. In case you cannot book, visit will not be possible, but you can still pass-by and enjoy the exterior.
