Alena
A very beautiful palace in excellent condition with a wonderful interior. Definitely worth visiting. Apparently, it is not as mainstream as its neighbor, so there were fewer people. I recommend it to lovers of architecture and beautiful interiors.
Charity
This was the only palace open on Dec 31. It was great though else we would not have visited and would not have discovered a tunnel where the initiations into templar happen. Would highly recommend visiting.

I discovered this place by accident while looking at the route of bus 434 — and it turned out to be an incredible find. For me, there are two places in Sintra that I would love to return to: the Quinta da Regaleira and the Biester Palace. We had the palace almost entirely to ourselves, which made the visit even more special. On the ground floor there is also a secret passage you can walk through. The park is absolutely magical, and there’s a small café with delicious coffee and pastries. Some of the tables are set inside a charming greenhouse. The staff were very welcoming. A wonderful place that truly deserves more attention.

Absolutely stunning gem! You get get there by 435/434 bus, don’t miss it! Also there is an AMAZING tea house in the garden, 2 teas+2 cakes=6.5 euros only. Sit in the garden with tea or in the oranjerie and ENJOY
Eugenia
The place is absolutely worth visiting! It’s beautifully remodeled, and you can walk around without tons of tourists. It’s just a few minutes away from the main tourist attraction, but much quieter and private.
