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.
Avoid if You Can – Beautiful Place, Terrible Experience Yes, the location and palace are beautiful, but the overall experience was awful because of how badly it’s managed. The queues are long, you’re made to wait around for your time slot, and when you try to ask staff for help or information, they are extremely rude and dismissive. They literally walk away mid-conversation. There are some positives – it’s a pretty building and the surroundings are stunning – but the cons heavily outweigh them. There’s no parking, so you have to take the train or shuttle, then wait again just to enter. It’s overcrowded, chaotic, and honestly not enjoyable. We were still willing to deal with all of that just to experience the palace, but the staff’s attitude is what pushed me to write this review while standing in the queue. They have no basic manners and are completely unhelpful. We arrived 10 minutes before our time slot and were told to go to the back of a huge queue. When we politely asked why, a member of staff just pointed to the line and walked away without answering any of our questions. The cafeteria is no better – overcrowded and slow, so if you’re hungry, expect to wait a long time. Absolutely unacceptable behaviour from the staff. The place may be pretty, but the experience is not worth it.
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.
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.
