Sites' open times

I have the "Seventh Edition" of Rick's Portugal book ... not sure what year that is. It says the Gulbenkian Museum is closed on Mondays but the website (which I'm now getting an anti-virus warning about) says Tuesday. It says the National Palace of Sintra is closed on Wednesdays but the Parques de Sintra website says the sites are all open every day of the year except Christmas and New Year's. I guess I should go with the web info, yes?

Yes, guidebooks are not updated often enough to always have current info. I would depend on the attraction websites to have the most up-to-date information on opening hours and pricing.

Publication date is usually on the back of the book, above the bar code. Your 7th edition was probably published in spring of 2013, and the 8th edition in spring of 2015.
