There were no lines at the first entrance, but then there were only lines at the Pena Palace, which made the visit unpleasant, despite the monument’s beauty.

A great stay, great attractions. The place is beautiful. However, you need to remember to arrange your transportation, or you'll have to do a little trekking from town. I recommend it!

I liked the sea creatures best!! I was hoping to see more marine life. It was a beautiful moment when the diver jumped into the pool and fed the fish.

We have visited many aquariums around the world. And this one in Lisbon surprised and delighted us. It has an unusual format, where the aquarium itself is located as if on an island surrounded by water. Inside, everything is built in a circle, so you walk along a huge glass aquarium and at times find yourself in different corners of the planet - Asia, Africa, America, etc. At times, it feels like you are under the open sky. And it is really impressive. We also discovered new species of fish that we had never seen before. And a huge plus - there are areas for relaxation and entertainment for children everywhere. The cost is absolutely reasonable, we recommend a visit!

National Palace of Sintra highlights

1/5

Palatial Wings and Halls

The palace has several wings and halls that were constructed for various purposes. The Swan Room was where the royal family hosted musical concerts, public receptions, and even other ceremonies. On the other hand, the Galley Room was most likely designed to be a gallery where King João III would meet with his masters.

Kitchens and service areas

The National Palace of Sintra’s kitchen was where the animals the king would hunt would be prepared for the banquets with his subjects. Such was its scale that it was designed to serve the entire palace. Another key service area is the Crockery Room, the purpose of which remains unclear to date.

The Gardens of the National Palace of Sintra

The gardens at the palace extend across its various terraces to its west. The Preta Garden, for instance, offers stunning views of the Sintra Hills and the town’s historic center. Some of the other gardens at the palace are the Araucaria Garden, the Tanquinho’s Patio, the Prince’s Garden, and the Kitchen Garden, each offering charming panoramic views.

The Palatine Chapel

Also known as the Royal Chapel, this structure was built in the 14th century by order of King Dinis. Historically, it played a key role in upholding the monarchy’s legitimacy. Walking through it is nothing short of a visual treat. The hardwood ceiling is one of the finest examples of Mudejar carpentry and represents the starry sky.

The iconic conical towers

The iconic conical towers over the kitchen are among the key features of the palace and one that makes it identifiable from any part of the town. Standing 33 meters tall, these kitchen chimneys were constructed in the 1300s and are a unique feature that makes the palace stand out.
