Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra will host the Regaleira at Night guided tour on 29 October 2026. The evening visit presents the estate's natural, landscaped and architectural heritage under illumination, with the tour conducted in Portuguese.
Regaleira at Night returns to Sintra on 29 October
The 2026 programme lists the final Regaleira at Night tour for Thursday, 29 October, at 9.30pm. The date, venue and time are published by the estate's operator, Fundacao Cultursintra FP, on its 2026 night-tour programme.
The guided visit is designed for visitors aged 16 and over and lasts approximately 90 minutes. The operator recommends warm clothing and comfortable footwear, while the official booking page records that the tour is available in Portuguese only. The event is also listed for 29 October at 9.30pm by the official ticketing service.
Illumination links the tour to Regaleira's built landscape
The estate combines a palace, chapel, gardens and underground routes within a historic landscape in Sintra. Its visitor circuit includes the Initiation Well and the Eastern Grotto, while the official visitor rules note steps, tunnels, obstacles and rugged terrain.
That setting gives the October programme a specific connection to the place: the event does not use the estate merely as a backdrop, but turns its natural and architectural features into the subject of an evening walk. The operator describes the illuminated visit as a way to experience the heritage in different light and colour.
A Portuguese-language walk through the estate after dark
The 29 October session is one of the scheduled dates in the 2026 Regaleira at Night programme. Earlier sessions were listed for 30 April, 28 May, 25 June, 30 July, 27 August and 24 September, making the October date the programme's closing evening.
Visitors should note that this is a guided night visit rather than the ordinary self-guided daytime circuit. The operator's rules state that entry is not permitted after the start of a show or visit, and the ticketing information says that outdoor sessions may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are unsuitable.
