From the Rossio train station in Lisbon, we took the train to Sintra. We walked one block from the train station and took the 1253 public bus using our Navigante zap card which we had purchased for u… Full review by raymond1925

We took the bus 435 to get there which takes you to the front entrance. We bought our tickets online ( 10 euros for senior) and we also had bought on line the audio tour which we downloaded. It’s a p… Full review by Lakecomo16

This place is amazing!! Be ready to do some steep walking. You can easily spend over 3 hours there. If you drive to the castle , be sure to drive to the public entrance and not the service entrance!! Full review by Beth David L
Hello! I was advised to skip Pena Palace (due to the crowds *_*) So, I am thinking of adding Monserrate palace in addition to the Quinta de Regaileira. I was wondering how much time does it take to tour the palace itself. Also, we are arriving by a charter bus, how far is the parking from the entrance to the palace? Difficult walk?

Its quite a distance to the house down a steep valley through stunning gardens, however there is a hop on hop off buggy thing that takes you if you don’t want to walk . The house itself isn’t that big you could probably go round in an hour . I was there longer because i was enjoying the gardens which are idyllic - think garden of eden.

I had a stroller with me while visiting Monserrate. We took a bus to get there, so using the stroller to get from the bus stop to the palace was easy as it was a downhill walk. At the palace, we parked the stroller under the stairs on the first floor, and we walked up/down the stairs to get to the second floor and the basement. Some parts of the gardens were closed for maintenance and/or reconstruction, so we couldn’t access them anyway. Now, the walk back to the bus stop was challenging as we had to walk uphill. About half way up, I asked my 4-y-o to help me out and walk up by herself. She did complain about the steepness though. Overall, I would recommend visiting Monserrate no matter what, but it is a bit of a strength workout to pull it off with a stroller. Safe travels

We walked from the Monserrate Palace to the centre of Sintra in about 40 minutes, from whence there are regular buses to Cabo de Roca. Alternatively there's a circular route bus that drops off and picks up from Monserrate back to Sintra's railway station where a change of bus is required to get to Cabo de Roca.
