Worth it
Worth it — buy a timed ticket and go early; by noon the romance is buried under crowds.
A candy-coloured Romanticist palace crowning the Sintra hills, surrounded by a sprawling park. Unmissable views, genuinely unique architecture — and notorious queues.
- Best time First entry slot of the day, before the tour buses arrive.
- Getting there Bus 434 from Sintra station, or a rideshare up the hill.
- Good for First-time visitors, architecture, panoramic views.
