Liga Mágico! This is my second visit, and I am increasingly enchanted. The nature, the history, the architecture. I never tire of this perfect place.

Great deal, the card was picked up at the airport. Immediate transport from the airport to St. George's Church. The bus is included, as is the entrance fee. There are a few additional attractions with free admission, including a ride on tram 28. I recommend it

Really great, no regrets. I got the 72-hour pass and made the most of it, following the 3-day itinerary on the website. You'll be glad you did.

Buying the tickets in advance best way to go, as purchasing tickets at the venue required standing in line at a booth far away from the entry. The Monestary at St Jeronimos defintely worth seeing!

Beautiful place, highly recommended, everyone should go there! Check-in was very quick, it was really easy to buy and then show the tickets. Top! A truly magnificent place where you can spend time and see everything in two hours. Highly recommended, both the e-commerce site and the place itself!!

Portugal never dissapoints and Sintra was no different! Just a 40 minute train ride from Lisbon, these beautiful sights were just breathtaking. I've never been so immersed in beauty, the Castle of the Moors and Quinta da Regaleira were beyond beautiful. You need to devote 2-3 hours to walking each because there's so much to take in. We even went on a rainy day and it was still just stunning, we were encapsulated in a cloud at one point which was really cool too. Highly recommend both places and Sintra in general!

Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo deRoca's glorious settings and architecture are why we all go to experience the beauty. That beauty was immeasurably enhanced by tour guide Bruno. He was flawless in his knowledge, could answer every question.... And like Ginger Rogers he did much of the steep hill climb walking backwards the better to be able to address the tour . Good communication, own time to explore at leisure and recommendations for eating . The complete package

The aquarium completely amazed us with its appearance and content. We saw some fish and animals for the first time in our lives, such as this interesting and beautiful seahorse and colorful sea sponges. Our teenagers were also delighted with the aquarium. We spent a wonderful 2 hours exploring the aquarium + half an hour of an interesting exhibition.
