This palace is way underrated in comparison with Pena Palace and/or other castles in Lisbon. Because of that it is rather quiet and private - which gives you a nice space to explore on your own. The garden is huge with nice maze decorations and water fountains at various places. It is also known as the Versailles of Portugal - not in the scale but in the style. It is definitely worth visiting!
