Pálacio Nacional de Queluz was built around 1787 for Queen Maria and her husband, Dom Pedro III. The structure is an enormous place, complete with a great music hall, The Queen’s Apartments, dozens of staterooms, dozens of guest rooms, and gardens everywhere. The Portuguese Royalty used the Queluz Palace as their main residence in the 18th century, so there is a massive throne room featuring a golden throne, priceless artwork, mirrors, and incredible architectural design. For a day trip, it may take most of the day to get through everything within the palace while learning about its history. Self-guided and guided tours are available during normal business hours. The Palace of Queluz is located within the town of Queluz and is only 15 minutes from Lisbon.
