We visited the interior of the Pena Palace. It was very interesting. We had booked tickets for 10:30 am so we arrived at 10 am at the iron gate and entered the palace at 10:30 am. The tour was self-guided, but we managed to understand the history of the palace thanks to the written explanations given in each room. We ended our visit with a tour of the exterior and gardens.

Such a beautiful place. Timed entrance and then no one leaves so the place is soooooooo overcrowded. What a shame. By mid morning it is wall to wall people. There has to be a better way to move people out.

Ticketing was easy although it would be good to mention that if you get the combined Palace and garden ticket that you should see the gardens at least 2 hrs before your slotted time - our time was 4:30. The queue through the Palace was at snail pace however was still beautiful to see.

It was very beautiful. If you have to wait a long time to enter the palace, you will be able to skip that and visit other beautiful places of Sintra.
