It's beautiful and well-preserved. Bought tickets in advance and waited and lined up for the time of entry stated in the ticket. If you're not fit or have mobility issues, it would be best to purchase another ticket for the shuttle that will bring you up to the palace from the entrance. The walk uphill can be tiring as it is quite steep.

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.

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.

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.
