On the day
The Palácio Nacional de Sintra (Sintra National Palace) is the best-preserved medieval royal residence in Portugal — used continuously by the Portuguese crown from at least the early 15th century to the fall of the monarchy in 1910 — sitting in the historic centre of Sintra town, marked by its unmistakable twin white conical kitchen chimneys. This guide covers what you'll see inside, how to get there from Lisbon, current opening hours, what a sensible visit looks like, and how it pairs with the other Sintra monuments.
Frequently asked
Is this the palace with the yellow and red towers on the hill?
No — that's Pena Palace, on top of the Sintra mountain. This is the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, in the old town at the foot of the hill, with the twin white conical chimneys. Different palace, same official operator. Both are UNESCO-listed. If you're only doing one, most visitors pick Pena for the views and this one for the interiors.
What's included in the skip-the-line ticket?
Priority entry to the palace bypassing the ticket-office queue, plus the full 14-room circuit: Hall of Swans, Hall of Magpies, Blazons Room (with family crests of Portugal's nobility), the chapel, the royal apartments, and the medieval kitchens under the twin chimneys.
How long does a visit take?
1.5–2 hours for the full palace at a steady pace. An audio guide is available at the entrance (self-paced, 90 minutes, 8 languages). If you're combining with Pena Palace, start here in the morning.
Should I combine with Pena Palace?
Yes — it's the classic royal-Sintra same-day pairing. Our combo ticket covers both with secured timed slots at each, saving €10 over buying separately. Morning here (cooler in town), lunch in Sintra old town, afternoon shuttle to Pena.
