L'endroit est magnifique, mais l'attente n'est pas bien organisée. On ne sait pas, quand vous avez un pass Lisboa Card s'il faut aller retirer un billet au guichet ou bien se placer directement dans la file d'attente.

The building was simply gorgeous and I was amazed by its architecture. We need to line up outside for some time (50 minutes) to enter, and it would be great if the site could provide more guidance in an organized manner.

Ein Hinweis, wenn man zu Fuß vom Bahnhof in Sintra zur Burg geht.... An Kreuzungen bessere Beschreibung, wo der Weg weiter geht.

The Ajuda National Palace is a Portuguese national monument, located in the friguesia of Ajuda in the city of Lisbon. Its construction began in the late 18th century in order to replace the Real Barraca, a royal residence so called since it was built entirely of wood. Not far from the Belem neighborhood, the palace is definitely worth a visit.

Your experience

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
