National Palace of Ajuda: Entry Ticket

1 hour

Full description

The building of the National Palace of Ajuda didn't get built without its share of troubles. The structure you see today isn't the original. The palace was originally planned as a summer residence in the first half of the 18th century by King John V, but construction would only begin after Paço da Ribeira, the royal residence in the centre of Lisbon, was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755. The first Palace of Ajuda was made from wood, but burned down in 1794. Then, the much more fire-proof building you see today was constructed. To this day, ceremonies for the Republic and the presidency are held in the palace.

We had the tour today with Olga E. Review for Olga E – Guide at Sagrada Família We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Olga E for an absolutely unforgettable guided tour inside the Sagrada Família. Our group — Dugi, Nataliia, Chidim, and Jane — was truly impressed by the way Olga brought Gaudí’s world to life. Her storytelling was incredibly detailed, poetic, and perfectly in harmony with the spirit of Gaudí himself. Every symbol, every line, every play of light suddenly made sense through her words.This was not just a tour, but a journey into art, architecture, faith, and imagination. Olga has a rare talent for explaining complex ideas in a clear, elegant, and deeply engaging way. Time flew by, and we were fully immersed from the first minute to the last. Thank you, Olga, for such a beautiful, inspiring, and memorable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to truly feel the Sagrada Família, not just see it. Duy, Nataliia, Cigdem und Shinee

Wirklich sehr schön anzusehen. Auch das Überspringen der Schlange kann teilweise nützlich sein, wenn man in der Hauptsaison dort ist. In der Nebensaison ist die Schlange aber relativ schnell weg. Nur die Qualität der Audiogeräte ist nicht gerade top, aber es reicht um zu verstehen was gesagt wird. Man könnte aber auch ganz darauf verzichten, da man den Tourguide auch so super verstehen kann.
