We got our cards in a matter of minutes from the tourist office, they were easy to use and the brochure we downloaded from the website gave exhaustive information about the attractions we could use them for.

I loved the card, was just a bit worried about the time wtitten on the electronic WhatsApp message which statec that I purchased the card much earlier than I actually did. Once I got the physical card and asked around how it works all was perfect.

THe castle was awesome. The instructions on use of the tickets were problematic. They state to locate the kiosk. We never found that. We eventually found a ticket taker at the castle who let us in based on the pass we had. But this circling around the castle was stressful and likely took a full hour of our day.

A magnificent place, nothing to complain about. However, there should be timetable slots so that we don't have to queue with no estimated waiting time. And the visit to the church is free.

Your experience

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
