Sintra is close enough to underestimate and steep enough to punish that. The 15 below compare group size, how many palaces you actually get inside, whether Cabo da Roca and Cascais are included, and what the whole day costs.

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 17,410 reviews · 1 day · from $11Best value

Timed skip-the-line entry to Pena Park and Pena Palace in Sintra, with an audio guide in 4 languages and iconic views from the hilltop.

“A place not to be missed, but to avoid in the summer time. We went in February and it was full of people. Get ready to walk a lot, but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. You need to book the Palace and Park Entrance, as it is timed and you need lots of extra time to get there. There are shuttle buses too, but quite expensive.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,105 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $120

Small-group Sintra to Cascais day trip with early Pena entry, two palaces, and wild Atlantic cliff stops, plus photos and a video.

“Beautiful places and lots of walking, amazing scenery. The only point you need to know is that you the tickets for both palaces are 35EUR per person, they tell this in advance only one day before the trip. It would be better to mention this so groups or families know beforehand what to expect. I also learned later that children have discounted tickets and also families of four have discounted tickets, but when I asked our tour guide about how much do we owe him, charged us full price for both kids (35 x 4) which we felt not cool. Also he asked for extra 10 EUR if sending by…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,237 reviews · 8 hours · from $64

A smart Lisbon day trip with Sintra’s fairytale look, Pena Palace viewpoints, Cabo da Roca, Devil’s Mouth, and relaxed Cascais.

“We were very lucky to have Andre as our guide as he was excellent! The tour itself was good, it was a small group so we had plenty of information given. The transport was very comfortable and the other 2 travellers were friendly which always makes a difference. Visiting Sintra and the Pena Palace is to be recommended, as is this tour company.- Go2Lisbon. We were pleased that we only visited the outside of the palace, which is really what you need to see, when we saw the huge queue of people waiting to get inside. We then visited Cabo da Roca and Cascais, delightful!”
