    National Palace of Sintra

    Bit disappointing. Tour is mainly inside the Palace, which is sparsely furnished and under renovation. We didn't do a guided tour, which probably would have explained history of the Palace.

    Amazing Ceilings

    We travelled by bus to Sintra in the morning from Lisbon. It was easy to get to both the National Palace of Sintra and the Park and Palace of Pena. We suggest that the Palace of Pena be toured first. The ceilings in the National...More

    Worth visiting

    A wonderful history and a beautiful place. We had an experienced guide who is passionate on the history of this city and Portugal which made our visit very interesting

    Not worth 10 Euros

    A tour guide directed us to this palace. It is not worth the time or the money. Completely over rated. We have really enjoyed our vacation but regret the day we spent in Sintra. Transportation and tourist nightmare.

    Interesting

    We arrived in Sintra mid afternoon and it was nice this attraction is right in the town of Sintra. Next to nobody touring it later in the afternoon which was nice. Was a pleasant way to spend an hour.

    Not to be missed if you’re travelling to Lisbon

    Get the train to Sintra from Lisbon which takes 40 mins and is 5 euros return. When you arrive at the National park you can get a bus which takes you to the Palace . It’s stunning and well worth the journey. There a cafe...More
