From the Sintra World / Places

National Palace of Queluz

A royal palace in eastern Sintra pairs Rococo interiors with formal gardens away from the hill crowds. The rooms and gardens make a substantial stop east of the hills.

Why go

Follow the state rooms and tiled details to see eighteenth-century court life, then leave time for the gardens and canal. Its Queluz location works as a separate half-day or a stop on the approach from Lisbon. The formal garden and canal extend the court story outdoors.

What to look for

Tiled rooms and Rococo interiors evoke court life.

Useful to know

Allow time for the gardens and canal after the palace rooms.
