Extensive and mystical park around a palace: The gardens of the Quinta da Regaleira were styled to represent ancient secret orders, with hidden tunnels and concealed symbolism.

Photography Tips

Since a tripod is only allowed with special permission, it's recommended to either use a higher ISO setting based on the camera and underexpose the photo in general to get a sharper photo that you can lighten up later in tools like Lightroom. Another option is to use generic stuff on the floor to put the camera on without any shakes to get a longer exposure or even multiple exposures if you want to merge them afterwards to an HDR to get as many details as possible.

Travel Information

The Quinta da Regaleira can be easily reached on foot from Sintra. The walk, which climbs a couple of small hills, takes approximately 15 minutes (just under 2km), and due to the short distance there is no real need to hire a taxi.
