This visit option extends the usual tour of the National Palace of Sintra by granting access to one of its most secluded and intimate areas: the Queen Maria Pia Residence.

In this wing of the palace, recently subject to conservation and remusealisation works, visitors are invited into a more intimate setting, where the private spaces associated with the final years of the Portuguese monarchy are revealed. Through the interpretation of the rooms and the objects preserved within them, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of daily life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as of Queen Maria Pia’s personal world during her final years in Portugal.
