This ticket gets you access to the castle complex – including a number of impressive gardens with 500+ tree species – as well as the interior of the palace. Inside, you'll see beautiful azulejo tiles, carved arches, and artifacts from the royal residents.

Take a moment to admire the stunning views from this UNESCO-listed site – from the castle, you'll see the beautiful Sintra region below, the coastline, and Lisbon in the distance.
