THE
We were in Lisbon for 6 days before boarding our NCL cruise ship. One tour we took was to visit the national palace of Sinatra. Drive up was long but really nice views. The village is very pleasant and the palace is really interesting, especially on the inside. On the outside, the twin chimneys are very picturesque. Inside, there are many rooms to tour. The guides clearly explain each room. The pictures tell the story.

We decided to walk to the palace to see it up close and enjoy the views. We went as far as we could without waiting in line to go inside. We felt the view and walk was worth the price of the ticket. €9 for seniors. While many people bought the double ticket we were ok doing the outside trip. The traffic the las several kM was crazy in mid Obtober. Near the entrance gate there is a shuttle bus for anyone who wants to avoid a steep walk.Bathrooms at gate and gift shop.

After visiting the PenaPalace we were not expecting much from this. But it was so interesting and gorgeous! It is totally worth a visit and is rather an unsung attraction that others should participate in.
Karel
Very interesting place! But in our case it was incredibly crowded... But its a cool place too visit! Lots of different types of architecture. It will take 1,5-2 hours normally, but if its very crowded then 2-3 hours. The walk is quite steep, take that into account, to have a decent endurance.
Florin
A royal residence that feels both grand and lived-in. The National Palace of Sintra blends centuries of Portuguese history with Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline architecture, all crowned by its iconic twin chimneys. Inside, richly decorated halls, intricate tilework, and panoramic views reveal the taste and power of Portugal’s monarchs, while the kitchens and living quarters hint at daily life in another era. Compact enough to explore in 1–2 hours, yet full of fascinating details, it’s a perfect starting point before diving into Sintra’s other palaces and gardens.

Jose is the best guide we've ever had! He made every stop was worthwhile. Also, he made sure that we stopped by a vineyard for us to actually see how they grow grapes rather than just viewing it on photo - that made the wine tasting experience very different! He also allowed us to stay in Pena Palace until it closed so that we can experience the sunset (this is one thing that you should take note, the view is breathtaking!) We love him and you're lucky if he is your assigned tour guide for this trip!
Andrea
Rui was a great host. He picked me up at hotel and drove to Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Colares.
Larissa
This tour was awesome- Jose was an amazing guide- so knowledgeable and took us to an amazing lunch spot right on the water. He had great suggestions and was so flexible. Would highly recommend to everyone!
Tarja
Tour was wonderful. Our driver Jose was very good.
Susan
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Truthfully, it was the best we've ever had. All the other tours we took in Lisbon paled in comparison to this one. Our guide Jose was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Portugal, and everything we saw, he gave us amazing insights. We learned so much and saw many wonderful things. If possible, request Jose for your tour! The tour sites were amazing. The palace at Sintra, the winery, Cascais, and everything in between was gorgeous. Really, a definite must if you're in Lisbon.
