This was a great day trip. Loved seeing all the different sites.
Definitely get your tickets to Peña and Regaleira ahead of time. Recommend getting the ticket with the transportation from gate to palace at Peña. Be prepared for lines. Our tickets were for 11:30am. We got dropped off right at the gate at 11:00am (saved us so much walking.) We got up to the palace a little before 11:30am to get in the 11:30am group line and didn’t get into the palace until a little after 12:30pm.
It was nice to be able to have the ticket ahead of time to skip the line entering Regaleira. Again, dropped off and picked up right at the gate.
The other sites were a lot more leisurely. We stopped at several places along the way for photos in addition to Cabo da Roca and Boca de Inferno.
Our driver, Aurelio, was fantastic. He was super friendly and flexible. He allowed us to take the time we needed at each place and adapted as things came up (like the lines at Peña.) He truly loves Lisbon and is a great ambassador, pointing out and making suggestions for different sites we should visit during our time. We was super attentive, wanting to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It was great to spend the day with him.
