The Palacio is quite far from all areas of Lisbon in which I spent most of the time, i.e. the old town center. However, the visit is worth the tram ticket and the time spent to reach the place, since the Palacio represents a very nice surprise. The Palacio at the time of my trip in Portugal could not be visited inside (I think because it is still privately owned and there were guests).

You have to get a ticket to go inside (3€), but the gardens and the cellar are for free. The inside has been left empty, though there are very beautiful tiles (mismatched unfortunately) worth to see. The gardens are quite simple but pleasant.
