Beware of pickpockets. They are good. They are fast so there should be more security. There should be warning about these horrible people. Full review by Elizabeth K

We were visiting Sintra as part of our holiday with Rail discoveries and we just looked at this palace from the outside-most places look nicer from the outside anyway! Full review by hilary d

Q:
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.

Q:
parquesdesintra pt / en - problem entering US phone # on this website to buy tickets (can't put the real link in this question but that is the site). Anyone else have this problem? It's a required field on the site. Thanks.
A:
I would also recommend just trying again. There was not a huge line there when I went anyway, so I think if all else fails it's okay to buy the tickets there.
Q:
We are planning to visit with our 18th old toddler. How easy is it to get to castle with the little one with his stroller? Thanks
A:
Not too bad. It has ramps but some steps. Steep but people were using strollers. I feel it is worth the effort.

Thanks everyone again. I tried to order the ticket online, but it fails with 2 different credit cards. Also, there is a bug on the website that don't allow 10 digit (US) phone number. If you enter 10 digits (not including the +1 country code), the website will shrink it to 9 digits??!! Amazing....

Q:
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?
A:
Yes, for sure. 1h30 will be enough. Early mornings and late afternoon will help to avoid queues.
