The Palácio da Pena in Sintra, Portugal, probably counts as being "just outside of" Lisbon. According to the linked Wikipedia article:

Saint Petersburg, Russia is known for having at least two royal palaces in the middle of the city (one hosts Hermitage and the other is Engineers' Castle), as well as multiple palaces just outside the city (still within legal boundaries): Konstantin's palace, the most famous Peterhof palace, Oranienbaum palace, Ekaterina's palace, Paul's palace and Gatchina palace (the only one outside legal boundaries).
Of course there are also quite a few minor palaces situated here and there.

The Palace of Versailles would seem to qualify. From the Wikipedia article:
The Palace of Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682, under Louis XIV, until the start of the French Revolution in 1789, under Louis XVI. It is located in the department of Yvelines, in the region of Île-de-France, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) southwest of the centre of Paris.
