Well worth the trouble to get there. Skip Sintra! This is better and not near as crowded. In fact there was probably only about 25 people in total there when we visited on a Saturday. If you are downtown Lisbon and have a Lisbon card go to the Rossio train station use your Lisbon card to board the train for Sintra and get off at Queluz Belas. If you're good to walk it's about 2 km from the station to the palace. Lisbon card holders can get a discount at the desk or you can buy from an automated machine. The machine will give you a discount for seniors over 65 if that applies. This place was as good as Versailles palace in Paris. Huge gardens. There is a cafeteria there but it was closed at the hours we were there.
