Everyone goes to the Pena Palace up on the hill. It's lovely but crowded.
Don't miss the Quinta da Regaleira which is near the town center, not up on the hill - a unique garden with a bunch of clever little touches.

If you are interested in a private tour, Sintra Magik is a great tour company to use. We had a full day tour - picked up from our hotel in Lisbon in the morning and whisked to Sintra, toured Pena Palace, lunched at a wonderful restaurant off the beaten path, tour guide was super, then off to Cascais and other points, making a full day of it. Worth every Euro they charge, which is quite reasonable, by the way!
