The National Palace of Sintra is a stunning and very well-preserved monument. It’s a must-see. Quinta da Regaleira is an unforgettable experience. The architecture there is truly impressive.

The Regaleira Palace is incredible. Its history and gardens are spectacular. The National Palace would be even better if they offered a short guided tour included with the admission. Plus, it was under construction.

It is a simple but interesting palace. The explanatory panels are sufficient and informative, and the audio-visual presentations—which feature dramatizations of historical figures connected in one way or another to the palace—are very interesting and intriguing.

Sintra National Palace is a treasure. You can easily spend 3-4 hours here. 2 is an absolute minimum. You really get a good feeling of what the daily life of the royal family was like. The kitchen is a wonder in itself.

This is a lovely place. Peaceful and not crowded when we were there. So nice to not have a "timed" ticket. I wish there was more information on the people who lived there through time because it is clearly an important place. What is special about it is that people actually lived there, and it feels that way. There is a lot of restoration happening and when it is finished it will be a really special place.

The National Palace of Sintra is very varied and unique, with specifically moorish elements and characteristic rooms. All the more surprising that it is much less frequented than the more popular National Palace of Pena, which is more spectacular from the outside due to colorful makeup and location, but much less interesting from the inside!

The palace is very well maintained. The furniture in the rooms is quite interesting. What impressed me the most were the enormous fireplaces in the kitchen.

Beautiful inside rooms, filled with tiles and very well maintained.

Grab these tickets to the National Palace of Sintra so you can explore over 1,000 years of Portuguese history. The palace is immediately discernible by its two conical chimneys - a characteristic trait of Sintra itself. With its richly decorated rooms, galleries and corridors, it was a favorite for a succession of Portuguese royal families and their retinues, right until the end of the monarchy in 1910.

Spend your time marveling at how the natural landscape was used to merge Manueline, Gothic, and Mudejar designs. The windows with surmounted arches and walls covered in glazed tiles of geometric patterns are a testament to medieval brushwork and craftsmanship.
