Near the Historic Center of Sintra we find one of the main tourist attractions in the region: Quinta da Regaleira. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considered a mysterious destination, the truth is that its visitors were surprised by what this villa has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first regaleira records are from the 17th century, in reference to the land that today is part of the villa. However, it was only in 1830 that Regaleira got its current name, still without the existing buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is at the end of the 18th century that construction plans began to be discussed, which would later come to fruition and originate what is now known as Quinta da Regaleira. However, this was a long process, marked by the appearance of several obstacles, occurring only between 1904 and 1910, integrating in the last years of the monarchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinta da Regaleira was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For anyone visiting Quinta da Regaleira, we recommend that you do so with plenty of time, since, in addition to the main buildings, there are many details throughout the park that deserve the attention of its visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parking<\/strong> it is one of the biggest difficulties in this visit. Since there are few parking spaces next to the Villa, as well as the fact that it is a little isolated, there is some difficulty in looking for parking. What we did, and many visitors have to do, is to follow the road until you find side areas that allow parking and then continue to the Villa on foot, but keep in mind that you will have this difficulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering the enclosure, we soon find the\u00a0ticket office<\/strong>, duly indicating which way to go from who is going to buy tickets (10 \u20ac \/ adult) and who bought them online, as we did. Likewise, there is the option of a guided tour, with a cost of \u20ac 15. Regardless of how to buy the ticket, you will be given a map<\/strong> of the park, witch can be consulted online here<\/a> and that comes in handy during the visit.
