No problems with tickets from headout. The issues are more around the stress caused by getting to the experience in the right time frame, or else your tickets will not be accepted. The palace is up a big hill, you need a bus or taxi to get there. The Uber had trouble finding us, and we were very stressed. The palace was also very busy, and we were there on a Monday!

Despite drizzly dreary weather, we found the palace and park beautiful. The signage was helpful in understanding the history within the palace. We went for a walk to the cross in the park and wanted to head back to the exit/bus stop another way and struggled with the map we had taken a picture of and the signage within the park. Maybe there was another more detailed map available that we didn't see or find. We found lots of little treasures, ponds fountains etc in the park, but struggled to find our way to the exit. Would come to a road or path and trying to decide left/right and uphill/downhill but weren't quite sure. So wish we could have accessed a more detailed map. Otherwise awesome!

Did not enjoy the huge amounts of people allowed inside on each time slot. Getting pushed from behind by other guests and the staff shouting to move along. Wanting to move forward but unable to. Treated like a herd of cattle. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone who asks to skip the interior and just take it in from outside

Far too many people allowed in at the same time . Staff miserable and at times hostile I only asked where the toilet was . Simple question . No need for rudeness at that point - wished I'd p---- over his feet now . Shame .Sintra is fascinating . Had to pee in the bushes as he wouldn't let me in even though I could see it !

The views were awesome! And the palace was beautiful. The queue was a bit confusing, but otherwise the experience was amazing.
