Is there an official site for buying tickets for the numerous sites in Sintra? My idea is to Uber/Bolt from Estoril to Pena Palace, skip the inside, but walk around the outside. I visited 15 years ago. Also, someone posted about going through the ticket office to visit some part for free, I could use some insight into this. Then i would like to walk to the Quinta da Regaleira, which I understand is a down hill walk from Pena Palace. After Regaleira continue to the town of Sintra to the National Palace. I would like to buy the tickets in advance, suggestions on which site to buy them from would be appreciated.

The Rick Steves Guidebooks are good about listing the official sites for purchasing tickets.
There’s an increase in fraudulent websites lately. I ended up on one by mistake when I was purchasing some tickets for Spain. I had to get out my RS book to get the official site.
Enjoy Portugal!

I believe there is a small discount (10 or 15%) if you buy the tickets at least 3 days in advance, but you have to commit to the date. Fortunately, you don't have to commit to the hour for Pena Palace Park Only. Regaleira does require you to pick a time, so you have to do some calculation to figure out when you will get there. Regaleira does not provide discount for early booking, so you can wait until the day before if you want, but the tickets for popular time slots (late morning and early afternoon) may get sold out.
