The first thing that stands out is the exterior, it is not as vibrant as Pena's, but the interiors hold interesting designs though! The courtyard was also another interesting bit and it has a nice vi…Full review by thankunextbeach

Lots of royal furnishings in beautiful rooms. Not terribly busy place. We liked it much better than Pena Palace. It’s 10 minute walk from train station.Full review by ronny256

Wonderful palace in historic center of Sintra. Part of this palace is from the 1300’s (very impressive) and you can see the various additions and changes to styles as different monarchs moved in. T…Full review by rochelleforster
I see on the website it says that there are disruptions due to works on the building. Especially on the Manueline facade, the chapel, the Jardim da Preta and upper area of gardens; Has anyone experienced this during the month of February 2019 and how bad is it. Many thanks.
A:
I would guess that you can "work around" this disruption--it is a big place and the gardens are large. It is worth seeing if you are in the area. If in doubt, call them in advance.

Thanks for your replies. I also posted this question on the Pena page. Apparently you can get tickets (with no lines!) at Sintra train station or the tourist office in town. That sounds much easier.
Plan to visit the palace this Friday. Question is how long it takes if I book the online ticket in their website? 1 day ahead? Also, after I book online, they send the PDF of version to my email? Or i need to collect my ticket somewhere?
A:
The lines can be long-ish depending on when you go. Make sure you really want to go - it was the only disappointment in our 3-week trip.
At what time does this Palace close on SUNDAYs? I've read some conflicting info, and I'm trying to figure out if I'd be able to visit the palace arriving 12:30p on a Sunday in September. Even if it closes at 2PM, is that enough time? 1.5 hrs?

Awesome. Thank you all. :) I'm going to give myself 1.5 Hrs, as I tend to move quickly (the New Yorker in me), especially when taking pictures because I want to enjoy the moment while I'm actually there. I will of course take a few snapshots to reminisce later on, but the most important thing for me is to soak it all in while I'm there. :)
