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 accommodating.

I 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 recommended!

If your goal is to see the Palace, better take the bus/taxi. 🏔️ Tried to hike up the mountain from the main road to the entrance to the National Park, but the path is steep, narrow and slippery (overgrown moss). Not the most ideal route for a cloudy day, with the sun due to set in an hour. 🌳 This could well be the backdrop to a fantasy movie - I could imagine fairies, elves, fauns everywhere and bring us into a magical world unbeknownst to the ancient rulers of Sintra. But as mentioned before, if like us your ultimate goal is to see the Palace, I’d honestly recommend skipping the hike. 😮💨 By the time we reached the end of our hiking route, it’s already gotten dark, the park is closing soon and we are drained of all energy, so we had to take the bus back down to the train station lol
