The Sintra National Palace in the old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Of all the palaces erected throughout the Middle Ages by the Portuguese monarchs, only that of Sintra has survived to this day practically intact, preserving the essence of its configuration and silhouette since the mid-16th century.

The Sintra National Palace, also known as Palácio da Vila, is one of Portugal's most iconic monuments and the oldest royal palace in the country. Located in the historic center of Sintra, it is easily recognizable by its two large, white, conical chimneys, nearly 33 meters high, visible from many points in the city.

It makes sense to start here very early with the Sintra Tour. If not a big crowd, then the "Palácio Nacional de Sintra" is definitely worth a visit. But I would not wait for a long time.
