Question 1

How long does it take to get from Lisbon to Quinta do Boiro?

Accepted Answer

About 45 minutes by road from Lisbon airport, and roughly the same from central Lisbon. The estate is around 40 km north of the city, near Alenquer, and almost the whole route is motorway.

Question 2

Do wedding guests need to hire a car?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many guests hire cars, but for groups a coach or private transfers from Lisbon are usually simpler and mean nobody has to drive home after the party.

Question 3

Where do wedding guests stay near the venue?

Accepted Answer

The manor house and three apartments on the estate sleep the couple and their closest family and friends. Other guests stay in Alenquer and the nearby villages, a few minutes away by road.

Question 4

Is Quinta do Boiro close to Sintra, Obidos or the coast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Obidos is around 40 minutes north, Sintra about an hour south-west, and the Atlantic beaches near Ericeira roughly 45 minutes west — easy day trips for guests arriving early or staying on.

Question 5

Can you host a wedding on a weekday?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Weekday weddings are very welcome and often easier to secure at short notice in high season.
