One of the last great Rococo buildings to be designed in Europe. Started being built in the 18 century by the order of D. Joao V. Beatiful Palace and Gardens

We arrived on a very rainy day. The cobbled road that leads to Queluz looked shabby and so did the surroundings, I must say. It did not feel inviting. It looked as if it had seen better days which I'm sure it had. My heart sank. When we went into the Palace however, it was sheer magic. It is majestic,... More

Visited the Queluz Palace for about 2 hours on a nice spring day. The Palace is accessible from the train station (the same line that goes to Sintra). It is about a 20 min walk through town to the get to the Palace, but there are plenty of signs marking the way. The interior of the Palace is impressive. You... More

This summer palace and grounds was truly a beautiful place. It is so massive that the up keep has had to suffer quite a bit, but the overall experience is terrific. The town of Queluz was personally not our favorite place, but it was nice enough and so close to Lisboa that it is definitely worth doing and recommending. Take... More

We bought the combined ticket to see the five main attractions in the Sintra area and one other, the Palace in Queluz. The other five were the Pena Palace, the Moors' Castle, the Palace of Sintra itself (now a museum), Montseate, and the Capuchin Monastery. Queluz, which is not at all near the others, is the least attractive of the... More

The fountains and garden area are beautiful and include wonderful Portuguese tile work. This is a great place to let the kids run it out a little bit and there is a... More

There's a beautiful 'hall of mirrors', which they say is like Versailles. Well, I guess it is, but not so grand. I enjoyed the 'his and hers' commodes!

Queluz Royal Palace has three main attractions: the palace itself with its charming rooms, furniture and decor; the English style park, which used to house the Portuguese Equestrian High School; and the Pousada and Restaurant at the top level of Portuguese Hospitality and Cuisine Arts. Lastly, but not available for visitors, the left wing is reserved for visiting Heads of... More

We were directed to this palace by some friends and it was a real find. Not on the usual tourist information which will send you to Sintra and the palace there, this is far larger, full of history and a glimpse into an age of royalty. Every room was amazing. The outside is in desperate need to repair and restoration... More
