Best time of day to visit Pena Palace

We have read that Pena Palace is often foggy in the morning and should be visited later in the day. What have those who have visited Pena Palace experenced in terms of best time of day to visit, both to avoid biggest crowds and for best photography? We only plan to view the outside from the terraces, not tour the palace. Thanks!

The Sintra weather forecast for tomorrow is rain all day, so not a good day. Crowds are less at the beginning of the day and just get bigger the rest of the day.

I was just there last week and had a 930 am entrance time. I would say book the earlier time slot possible. There was a hardly a line when we got in and got on he first shuttle. By the time we left around 1130 the line to get in at the entrance was long! We were so happy we got there early.
