For groups of more than 3 and diri better to take an Uber, if so you go to one or two sosas to see in sintra will come out much more in account, they charge 13,50 for the coach that makes routes, but the unbers can cost 6-8euros. It is a great scarecrow to charge. If you go to the palace walk to pozo is half an hour, you gain time and money over ubers or coaches. Enjoy!

Ticketing with Headout was simple and fast. Both Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle are great historic places to visit.

The information about the option of having a paid bus available was only announced on arrival at the site by another visitor. Furthermore, the scheduled time has no influence on prioritizing access to the paid bus. The attendant who checks the ticket said it's not her problem if the bus is late.
