Sintra Town Palace
The town-centre royal palace is easy to combine with a historic-street walk and houses centuries of Portuguese court history. Its central location makes royal history accessible from the old-town streets.
The twin kitchen chimneys make orientation simple, while the rooms and tiled surfaces reveal layers of medieval and later royal use. This is the central indoor anchor when the hills are wet or windy. Its position in the town centre makes the palace easy to combine with street walking.
What to look for
Twin kitchen chimneys mark the town-centre palace.
Useful to know
