beautiful: I recommend it - The Sintra National Palace is located in the center of Sintra, a very convenient way to visit the Palace. It offers a wealth of history and is beautiful inside. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and enjoying the area after your visit to the Palace. If you're in Lisbon, I recommend taking Uber; they're very cheap.

Don’t forget to organize your visit to Sintra - Sintra is very nice place just to see nice castles and very nice parks. Take your time and spend there all day. Don’t forget to move good and comfortable shoes and your powerbank, because you can take there a lot of nice photos. Carefully look for your assistant. It is possible to go to the Pena castle with bus or with local drivers. The price with bus is about 12 euros, with driver about 30 per person. Don’t forget to book your visit time in Pena Castle in advance, otherwise you need to wait about 3 hours. Also in Mason castle. The others are not so busy.

Gorgeous! - Easy to walk! Took less time than we expected but could take as much as you want. Highly recommend!!

Very quaint, avoid if possible holidays or peak season - Recommendation to go by public transport and maybe buy tickets in advance, avoid public holidays for too many people

Great way to spend a few hours - We all enjoyed the palace including a 3 year old, interesting stuff and quite easy to walk and see it all. Recommended! 👍

Beautiful palace in the center of Sintra. - Very nice Palace right in the center of Sintra with a rich history. A lot of stairs, so for people with walking difficulties not very handy. Pay attention! We thought we had tickets to Pena Palace. Didn't know there was another Palace.

Discerning customer review - I found the gardens underwhelming. And the Palace itself could have better signage without defacing the walls.

Underwhelming - Overrated and boring. Go to Pena National Palace. This was a very basic and underwhelming experience. For the palace to be so large, there were limited places to actual tour. It may have been 25% of the palace.

Plan ahead or be disappointed - Sintra is a tourist train wreck, so take time really planning ahead. If you miss your ticketed time, as we did, too bad according to the site. Parking is almost nonexistent in town, and even worse at the Sintra Castle and the Moorish Fortress. Signage is also impossible to follow. Your best bet is to hire a private guide to meet you and handle tickets and transportation. Do not try to go up to park on your own at the castle or fortress as there technically is none and if you find some be prepared to walk a mile or more on dangerous roads.

I had received a message to confirm the Reservation, finally I had great difficulty downloading the ticket. On D-Day, I understand that my ticket does not give me access to Pena but to Sintra Palace Once arrived at the National Palace of Sintra, the barcode does not work!! Good thing the guard agreed to let us in anyway. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!!
