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.

At the palace you can park the stroller under the stairs on the first floor, and then use the stairs to get to the second floor and the basement. It is challenging as you walk uphill as it is steep, but overall I would recommend visiting Monserrate no matter what, just keep in mind it is a bit of a workout to pull it off with a stroller. But very worthwhile.

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.
