One of the most remarkable examples of the harmonious link between landscape and palatial architecture in Portugal, the National Palace of Queluz and its historical gardens illustrate the environment and lifestyle of the Royal Family and the Portuguese Court (eignteenth-niniteenth centuries), showing also how tastes developed in this period marked by the baroque, rococo and neoclassicism.
The gardens of the Palace of Queluz, one of the most important historic gardens in Portugal, have the most significant set of statues of British sculptor John Cheere (1709-1787), out of the English territory, which gives it a great importance in the international art scene .

Tips

On Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11 am, enjoy the presentation of the horses and riders of the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art.
To benefit from a reduction on the visit to several monuments, choose the combined tickets or visit the Palace and Gardens during Happy Hour.
Nearby, across the IC9, by the road leading to the cemetery, visit the 'Matinha de Queluz', a testimony of the natural vegetation that has covered this area and with century-old oaks.
