E. Efficient box office. Nice place. On the other hand, it's impossible to load the map and it's impossible to get the audio guide, is that so as not to compete with the guides!

Palace was nice to visit and learn history about the area and Portuguese Royal family. Recommend to travellers to park in Sintra near bus stops and take a Tuk Tuk ride to the top and down.

Ticketing was slightly confusing but we figured it out and had a great time! The grounds are beautiful and so are the views. We aren't the biggest interior of castles fans but it was still interesting.

In my opinion the venue let too many people inside. It was way too crowded and you cannot enjoy the beauty of the palace in peace.

A grandiose, majestic palace. We arrived around 9:30 a.m. and didn't have to wait to get in. A little disappointed by this palace, which appears to be a must-see in Sintra but which needs a little facelift, the paintings have aged and darkened, with all the visitors I think they have the means to restore it and yes give it back its lustre. I think it's a bit overdone. Not enough information about the palace on the outside. Our visit was pretty quick in the end.
