Had an amazing day with my mom there but it is hard to walk up there we took the tuk tuk cab up and the buss down it was very beautiful and the palace rooms had lovely detailing but in my opinion its the outdoor area of the palace and the terraces around it that are the hit factor. Inside the palace there is around 10-15 rooms and around 4 bigger halls it is very nice and again a lot of amazing wood craved details and marble and staying glas as far as you can look but its not your typical type of palace with lots of gold and kitsch and pompous rather it is arty and detailed with love and devotion. If you are not really in to that go up buy the ticket for the garden but not for the palace inside you will have amazing views and get off a bit cheeper it is an expensive experience for 2x people we payed following: 25€ for the cab up, 2x 14€ for the palace garden admission, 2x 14€ for the palace inside area admission, 2x 7 € for the bus to come back down come to overall 95€ for 2 people to see one palace on top of the fact we where on holiday in Lisbon so we had to buy train tickets to get to sintra in the first place. Also there is a shop there that sells snacks and drinks and the items they do have are reassnobly priced especially compared to the tickets and the fact they are quality products but variety is very very very limited. Staff is friendly and...
Read moreThe area of the Natural Park is very extensive and well worth a visit as incorporates several palaces and castles and manor houses and convents and all sorts of beautiful properties!! You can find here - going Sintra side of the mountains - the Pena Palace, the Vila Palace, the Moorish Castle, Regaleira Manor House, the Monserrate Palace (and here, please forgive me, I have to say something more - is the least known and visited of all Sintra Palace's, however in my humble opinion, it is by far one of the most beautiful and therefore, my advise to you is - if you can, do not miss a visit!! ) and so much more… you can also take several different pedestrian routes and visit old fountains and chalets… Sintra and the Park are a world of wonder and mystery … Sintra should be visited no just when the weather is good and sunny and warm - Sintra is stunning during Winter time, with it's mist and small, mysterious alley ways and drops of rain falling from the trees and letting the mist go through you while walking among the old trees here and the beautiful green environment you will find!! There is always, for the keen eye, a way to see the beauty of Sintra!! Come over and...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting the National Palace of Sintra, and I was thoroughly impressed. The gardens were meticulously kept and full of lush greenery, providing an idyllic setting for a relaxing stroll. The palace itself is a stunning piece of history, with its beautiful tilework, elegant architecture and unique towers. Inside, you can explore the ornate rooms and marvel at the fascinating artifacts that tell tales from centuries past. The guided tour offers an informative look into the history of the palace and its occupants, adding an extra layer to your experience. It's easy to see why this marvelous palace has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site - it's one of Europe's most impressive palaces! And while there’s so much more to explore than can be seen in a single visit, it’s worth every moment spent here. Whether you're exploring on your own or taking part in one of the many guided tours, you won't forget your time here in a hurry - it truly is something special. Highly...
