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.

Unfortunately, the tiket could not be opened (QR code). It was the same with many others. I then had to have a paper label issued.
