• Park and National Palace of Pena - The entry ticket (15€ for park and palace) grants access to the perimeter, allowing visitors to choose between exploring the nearly 200 acres of lush exotic gardens and rivers, featuring species from around the globe, or visiting the palace. The fairy-tale palace from the 19th century, designed as the opulent summer residence for Portuguese royalty, is included in the ticket for both interior and exterior access. With breathtaking views over the Sintra-Cascais valley, visitors can see all the way to the coastline. The palace also features a charming café for refreshments.
• Quinta da Regaleira - With priority access at the ticket office, visitors bypass the line to enter the Regaleira gardens, which are as exotic as the Pena gardens, featuring handmade caves and small castles throughout.

Near the waterfalls lies the Free-Masonic Initiation Well from the 19th century, open to the public during the day. Here, visitors descend the 9 levels of Dante’s Inferno to discover the Templar Cross with the four elements (wind, earth, fire, water).

After the initial stage, participants “wander through the bottom of hell” until reaching “the light at the end of the tunnel,” where they find the exit and are reborn. Both inside and outside, numerous symbols of the Freemasonry/Templar order can be seen, including many pentagrams said to represent the face of Baphomet.

• Centro Historico de Sintra - The tour drives through Sintra’s center to the next destination. For those not visiting the Quinta da Regaleira Free Mason Well, a stroll around Sintra’s historical center is an option. Passing through the insights of the Sintra historical center, visitors will see the Vila National Palace from the 15th century. There are also numerous small shops selling national products (note: the center can be very crowded).
