Perfect experience!!! We spent 3 days in Lisbon and bought LisboaCard which allowed us to discover the city and region without stress. Everything is included in LisboaCard, metro, bus, streetcar and even the train to Sintra! You can visit museums for free and get 10% off your bill in restaurants! A great experience!

I bought a ticket online and it was the best thing I ever done because the lineup was huge and I went straight through and Audio guide explained all the points. It was a beautiful experience. I'm glad they did it and I will suggest it to all my friends

It was a great experience. Full of discovery and with many highlights. To be done again and again. I plan to return in the near future. I'd recommend these exotic and atypical places to anyone.

This experience was amazing! By far the best part of the trip! The castle was stunning and the tour through the app was easy to follow and informative.

It was a good attraction, a relaxing outdoor walk through gardens and winding pathways. Some statues were still covered but the walk down the well was very cool. Note that it can get quite wet as you get to the bottom and walk through the tunnels. I found buying the tickets online was easy. I took the train to Sintra which was reasonable priced but when you got there it was a bit chaotic sorting out how to get to the top. I should have researched it better. Meeting with the rep was okay but took me a bit to find him. He was very pleasant and had great insight on the property as well as some fun history.

The palace itself is stunning, with intricate architecture and decor, but it’s the grounds that truly steal the show— just beautiful around every corner.

Liked the ability to buy ticket online, quick entry to the site, the easy access to all parts of the castle, clean washrooms, signage. Did NOT like that I couldn't get seniors' rate online, and entry felt expensive. Some steps without handrails. Gift shop very underwhelming.

It's a magnificent (if somewhat empty) space that transports us to another era. The church was being renovated, so there's nothing to see.
