We loved spending a couple of hours climbing the walls of the old castle. It is a workout but the views are spectacular. It was very windy the day we were there, late June, so you may want to take a jacket and something to contain long hair. The entrance was 8€ each for us. There were pretty nice views of Pena Palace from one of the watchtowers.

Breathtaking view, worth the admission ticket. Can be really windy! The hiking trail can be tricky as there are parts with mud, but really a rewarding experience - the surrounding greenery is like a heaven on earth.

Definitely buy tickets in advance! They rely only on automated machines that are very slow. Definitely recommend going here it’s beautiful!

Definitely worth doing, but there isn't an actual castle there. It's a long wall with a few towers. The path gets narrow in places and it is a heck of a climb to the top. The views are amazing.

First time here but 2nd time in Sintra! More exciting than Pena in the sense that it's more of walking on heights, feels like you are really walking a fort's walls. Lots of steps so be prepared! Cam see Pena Palace from here. Tickets were available for purchase at the entrance but we bought them online and made for smoother trip.

Mouros Castle and Palace of Pena are the first two sites you would want to visit. My recommendation is that go to Palace of Pena first and walk down about a mile from the palace to the Mouros Castle. Bus wait is almost the same as the walking time and you get to enjoy the nature if you walk. Get your tickets online in advance and have some food with you. Note that this is not castle, so there is not an actual building. You will just walk on the remainders of the castle walls which is still a great experience. The views from the walls are also fascinating.

One of the sights you must visit while in Sintra / Lisbon. Wonderful views from the top of the stairs on every side. A bit challenging climbing all of them in windy weather but definitely worth it once you reach the top. The views over the surrounding areas are truly breathtaking and worth enjoying for a while. Take your time and sit around while taking in the views. Good viewpoint over Pena Palace as well in the days with a clear sky.

The path to reach the castle is challenging but enjoyable. It is filled with flowers in the winter months. There are well trimmed bushes, trees, various structures, bridges, and surprises! You will find a beautiful photo on every turn. The higher the elevation, the farther you can gather your view in one frame. With the crispy, clear blue sky, you will be spoiled by the view. You should plan at least 3 hours to hike this round trip. If you are in a hurry, there's always transportation available for you to get to the top!

Great views from the wall! This is a beautiful restored treasure! There are lots of areas that are very accessible, but if you have mobility issues, there are some irregular stairs and steep climbs as well as areas without railings.

The Moorish Castle offers fantastic views from its peak. The journey to the top is a relaxing and relatively easy walk, perfect for visitors of all ages. Sections of the castle are original, adding a sense of authenticity to the experience. Overall, the castle is incredibly interesting and definitely worth a visit for anyone exploring Sintra.

The westernmost point in continental Europe. A beautiful view high up from the water. The sunset was lovely. Very windy, at least when my wife and I visited in February, so be prepared. There is a souvenir shop, snack bar, and restaurant on site, which was a nice reprieve from the wind.

(Translated by Google) Super nice climb and beautiful view! Pros: - nice breeze with sun and view - nice place for photos -beautiful castle walls -high point where you can also see Palacio de Pena -prima price (approx. 10 euros p.p. (if you also go to Palacio de Pena) Negatives: - quietly with us (sep.), but very annoying in high season when it is busy, you cannot walk side by side on the stairs (Original) Super leuke klim en mooi uitzicht! Pluspunten: -lekker windje met zon en uitzicht -leuke plek voor foto's -mooie kasteelmuren -hoog punt waar je ook Palacio de Pena kunt zien -prima prijs (ong. 10 euro p.p. (als je ook naar Palacio de Pena gaat) Minpunten: -bij ons rustig (sep.), maar in hoogseizoen erg vervelend als het druk is, je kunt niet naast mekaar lopen op de trap

Amazing Place with a stunning view as well. Not really far from more notorious Sintra Palace and definitely worth a visit. I suffer from vertigo and let me tell you, in some places it wasn't easy for me to keep going on those stairs, but the views were clearly worth it.

Centuries of history speak to you from these ancient walls. The views of Sintra from here are hard to beat. You need to be fit for the climb but the effort is definitely worth it. You just feel on top of the world there. Excellent and highly recommended.

Sintra area has few castles to offer. As each of them is different, each person finds his favorite castle. This one is mine. The place is magical. Composed out of ruins and gradually mixed with nature, it's hard not to chill there, even with a lot of tourists around you. Expect one or two hours of walk if you want to see it all. For me it was definitely worthy.

So interesting and beautiful place. There so many trees around the castle, so its not so hot even in very warm weather when you go to the castle from the parking. Better to get by car, save your strength

This is one of the most EPIC sites I have been. But be warned, you need to not be afraid of heights or you must be in great physical health to climb all the way to the top. The view from the top is absolutely stunning. It reminds me a little bit of the great wall of China though I have never been there. You can walk almost all the way around, and you can see the entire town from above. You can also see the Pena castle from the top. Be careful because there are some places don’t have railings. This is a must do if you are in Sintra.

Very vast grounds to walk around and explore. It was raining and foggy when we went, but I’m sure the views would’ve been spectacular if it was sunny. Note that the steps along the wall can be quite steep, slippery when it’s raining and there’s no guard rail. There are two cafeterias there, but one was closed (due to low season) and the other sells takeaway and is outdoors. The Moorish castle is a short walk from Pena (10 min downhill), but it is extremely difficult to get a ride here since all the cars go to Pena. Your best bet is to walk to Pena Palace or buy a 434 bus ticket (13 euros) that allow you to hop on hop off at the major sights of Sintra (there’s a stop just outside of the ticket office), around 20-30 min wait.

Beautiful experience. I walked all the way up avoiding the roads full of tourists and took a lovely trail, it took me around 1 hour, comfy shoes are a must and consider it might get slippery on the way down, the air is very moist and the pavement is made of rocks. There is a ticket machine to enter the area of the castle ticket is €12 for adults, many older people were complaining about having to use the machine so maybe a ticket office would be appreciated buy the elderly who come up a long way to visit the castle! The view is incredible, bare in mind there is no protection so it’s highly dangerous for kids, I was getting a heart attack seeing them wondering freely on the castle walls.

I really enjoyed visiting this castle! The views from walking along the ramparts are breathtaking. Just be careful and watch your step, they don’t have guardrails in most spots. I recommend visiting the castle first before you head to the Peña palace.

Maravilloso. Estar ahí viendo esas construcciones, ser parte de esa historia tan rica es increíble. Vale la pena cada escalón, cada caminata. Recomiendo ir en Uber hasta la puerta, luego podes ir caminando por todo el Castillo. Si van en verano lleven protección solar, agua, calzado cómodo. Sería bueno sumar audio guías, o visitas guiadas para profundizar y comprender más sobre la riqueza de esa historia. Le daría más estrellas si las hubiera, uno de los mejores lugares que he visita en mi vida.

This is such a lovely and peaceful place. It's a good hike around the walls of the fort, and there are gorgeous views of the villages and countryside below. There are also two cute cats that have claimed the palace grounds as their own, and if you're lucky, they'll come by to say hello.

AMAZING! Do not miss this place while in Sintra. The surroundings are stunning and the view breathtaking. The history behind it is worth knowing and the info boards spread around help you do just that. Explore every corner and path you come across. Can't say enough good things about it.

Es un castillo que tiene muchas variaciones de culturas

Ok

It's amazing! Its the small version of the Chinese wall, but in Europe. The view from this place is great!

Yes a Moorish Castle was here and built over earlier settlements - going back to the neolithic. Then it was a Christian region with a tiny church- on a tall hill , then in the late 1800s it was mostly in ruins which made it an ideal place for Ferdinand II to celebrate it by adding more “Romantic era” ruins - crenellations on walls towers with stone steps and stone seats and gardens and flowers and stone paths everywhere. -the views are outstanding🤩.Salazar the dictator also loved the idea of “Romantic ruins” and also “repaired” it’s ruins to be a touch more scenic. Great place to take a date or write idylls of nature. It’s so gosh darn…, what’s the word?

Really enjoyed exploring the ruins and walking on the castle walls. The views are just stunning, I think I may have liked this more than the Palace. If you can, you should buy the tickets in advance, when we arrived there was quite a long line because the ticket machines were having problems. We just bought ours online so were able to skip the line.

Awesome experience! Really worth a visit and one of my top recommendations for Sintra! It's a nice uphill hike, not super long but decently strenuous. I especially recommend going for sunset! The view is amazing! You get a nice view of the Palace on the other hill also! It's worth noting that the accessibility by car/taxi/autorickshaw is in the opposite side of the hill than the walking path, and if you choose to walk you take the back roads from the historical center and use the hiking trail in my opinion, as the motor ways and roads stretch around the hills and cover much longer distances. All in all one of my favorite castles so far in Portugal!

Absolute must stop in Sintra. The steep walk there is an adventure on it's own but the view from up top makes it worth it. The ruins are beautiful but the moneymaker is the view you get from up there. If you're in Lisbon, just take the direct train from Rossio station and you'll get there in under an hour.

Some spectacular views including that of the Pena palace. If you have to choose between Pena palace and Moorish Castle for short trip in Sintra, go for the Moorish Castle. To arrive here you can take bus 434, the tickets for which can be bought from the driver. If you plan to spend the day in and around the monuments of Sintra, it makes sense to get a 24h bus pass for 11€.

Incredible 8th century medieval castle on a high hilltop. Spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The parapet walk is amazing with its granite blocks interlinking boulders and cliffs as it snakes across the hillside. A must do on a trip to Sintra. A wonderful experience.

Amazing castle with breathtaking views. Make sure to hike both sides of the wall. The left side is higher and has great views of the coast and Pena Palace. Some areas do not have railings and will have to be careful if crowded.

Awe inspiring. Difficult to conceive how this fort was built without the use of technology. A must see in Sintra. Easily accessible and so large that you don't really notice other tourists. I'd consider returning. Amazing views!

Breathtaking views. Unbelievable views. You can even see Pena Palace in the distance. It's 400 km from the entrance to the Castle itself which provides lovely green walks. The Castle Walls themselves have a lot of steps but it's worth it for the views. We went when the weather was gorgeous and so sunny and warm which made it even better.

Amazing views. We decided to walk from Sintra and didn't regret! 30-45 minutes and beautiful landscape. Pena Palace is stunning and you can see if from the castle. Was not able to pay with cash which is quite disappointing especially if you don't bring your card or having to pay transaction fees online

Wonderful place, the hike to the castle is beautiful, so much green it felt like we were in a jungle. The view from the castel is mesmerizing, definitely recommended to climb all of the stairs. On the top it can be a bit windy, a sweater can be quite useful. The cats were cute!

Amazing views over the area. Paved walkway to the castle, however some parts can be steep! Fine enough for pushchairs and buggys. Would recommend also, not suitable for above, but the walk around the walls and to the top of the castle for the best views. Expect to spend about 1hr-2hr here, but the price is about right for what is here. Do *not* drive here!

Loved every minute of this visit to Castelo dos Mouros. Costs about 8 Euros to get into and was well worth it to walk around the castle grounds and enjoy the views of the city below. Be prepared to do a lot of stair climbing and wear comfortable shoes and always watch your step, some of the pathways are very narrow with no guardrails.

Lots of great views. Lots of climbing up for the views. Nicely restored castle. Beware of the vertical needed to really enjoy the place though. There are toilets inside the gates with the small cafe. Tickets CAN be purchased at the gates, if you take a Bolt to the guard house.

If you can purchase tickets beforehand, I recommend doing it. Castle is really beautiful, located on a hill with breathtaking views. You can get to the entry point on a car or if you hike up the hill. From entry point to the actual castle, there is a bit of a hike, probably 15 minutes, and so it might night be accessible for everyone. There is a small cafe in there and a bathroom for a quick rest. Btw, you can also purchase tickets for Pena palace from here, which will save you a lot of time.

amazing place! takes about an hour to get up and 20-30 mins to get down, lots of steps but easily done with average or below average fitness! definitely worth it when you get to the top! is an excellent place and very pretty, the cafe isn’t amazing but it sells water, basic coffee and maybe a small pastry 🥐

An absolute pleasure to visit the castle. Its bit underrated. It doesn't have colorful architecture but from every corner it gives pleasant views of Sintra. It has bit of elevation. So I would suggest to carry some water. It's just 5 minutes walk from Pena Palace entrance. So I would suggest visit both for a day.

It’s amazing to be walking on the ancient castle. Warning for the ticket to Sintra. Highly recommended to buy ticket online during in summer. There’s a very crowded of tourist otherwise you might lost the chance to enjoy Sintra. *p.s. Train and bus ticket to Sintra are not included.

Beautiful castle wall and batteries that seems part Great Wall and part medieval fortress. No real internal rooms to visit but the location, surrounded by moss-covered rocks and lush forest is magical. Can be seen in less than an hour.

I would like to give warning after coming back from this place. It is not to go with kids. not for the kids. avoid it. Especially during the storm weather condition. the outer walls are tall enough, but inner walls are too low and passages are very narrow. and there are not enough handrails to hang onto , and very high. some points there are no guardrails at all. it is very scary to elder people too. When I was there on December 1st, the rainstorm hit the castle , my hat was blown away. The view from top to look down Rich Sintra as well as Lisbon and ocean is spectacular. and walking up from Sintra center is rewarding. If you are physically fit, walking up hill is good choice. takes only 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

It's an amazing marvel how this place has stood here for so long and kudos to Portugal for keeping this preserved. You can see how they kept on eye and protected they city from this vantage point. You will get some workout climbing some sections of the wall. You can see an amazing view all around from here. I would definitely recommend visiting here if you are in Sintra and visiting National Pena Palace.

My favorite place in Sintra. Best panoramic views and beeing in the nature. Enjoy your time there!

Nice ruined castle . Has a big surrounding wall you can walk on.. see all the area from it till the ocean. As for explanations or history of the place the sings are lacking . Has a great hiking up or down nice pathways to the village back.

Take the stairs to the very top. Well worth the views of the other two castles. Allow yourself one hour to make the climb and return trip to the entrance.

The walks along the walls of Castelo dos Mouros provide spectacular views of the forests, towns and ocean. The steps will give you a workout, but it is worth it. Only downsides were a.) I couldn't find as much information about all the structures that would have previously existed, and b.) the food options in the cafeteria are quite limited. But still, this is not a site you'd want to miss.

Worth a visit!! Beautiful view, nice ruins but not much information about the place. Lacks a bit of context.

The castle is such an amazing structure. It's just awesome to imagine the times around this place in the past. Huge area to explore and the best views from the mountain!

Historical place with great views. Totally worth the hike up the hill. You will get a 360 degrees view of Sintra and it’s surroundings including a great view of Palacio da Pena.

Great place to visit. Many ways to get there. For the fit and active a lovely walk up through the wood on its slopes. An easy walk over to Palacio da Pena.

We went hiking up! It‘s about one hour from Sintra, if you walk quickly. Awesome view!

It was amazing it's a good hike to get there,if you don't use the bus, I didn't use the bus,added to the adventure and you really get to grips with how high up it is. The place is beautiful allow a few hours to take it all in, I done both moorish castle and Pena Palace in one day, as they are close by each other. If you buy both tickets together you get a 5% discount not much of a discount but it's ok if its a family of adults and teens paying full price. The views are absolutely beautiful and the cafe on site was reasonably priced. It is definitely a must see, the upkeep is amazing it's like stepping back in time

It is an epic military fortress with breathtaking views of the city of Sintra. Just make sure to put on some good shoes because you the only way to get up there is buy walking

Gorgeous castle. If you find a parking spot close to the road that goes up, don't let yourself be talked out of parking there but some guys running around there. They park their own cars there and tell you, the bring you up for a fee. And of you get one of those spaces they will tell you, you'll be fined by the police, even tho 50 cars are parked there.

(Translated by Google) Too beautiful (Original) Lindo demais

Lugar incrível, ótimo pra quem gosta de caminhar mas vale o esforço!

I went during a torrential rainstorm, and it was quite an amazing and terrifying experience. You must be very careful, the rock is very high up, very slippery, and there are no barriers at all on one side. However, it was an incredibly rewarding experience Of note: the telescopes here are free! You don't need to pay 🙂 I'm sure they offer amazing views on non death-kill-rain storm days

Very nice views!!

This was on our list when we started the tour in Portugal as it is the most western part of Europe as a continent. We went there with a rent a car from Lisbon. It was really nice to walk around and have an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean, so this is one of the recommendations to visit while in Portugal.

The Western tip of continental Europe. It's always a nice place to visit. Make sure you take an extra coat, it gets pretty windy out there!

Beautiful place. Beautiful weather. Mind will refresh when you go there. Not far from Lisbon, Portugal.

Short bus ride from Cascais brings to this magical spot in the Atlantic coast. Great hikes can start from here.

Beatiful views. Most western point on the European continent. Nice to experience. Relative long drive to get there.

A must visit place in Portugal! It gets pretty windy so make sure you dress properly!

Breathtaking place! Very beautiful, colorful and windy. Cabo da Roca is the most western point of continental Europe. There is a gift shop from where you can buy a certificate for 11 euro that you've been there. If you're a nature lover, you will love this place. To get there, you can take bus number 403 from Sintra or Cascais. It's an amazing experience- highly recommend it!

Wonderful place! It wasn’t full of tourists, there were only few families besides us.

Marvelous place. This is the westernmost point in Portugal and in Continental Europe. Such an amazing place, but it gets really crowded with tourists and coaches. If you can go there first thing in the morning before all the craze. It also gets pretty windy so be prepared. But such wonderful views.

Lieu intéressant, le paysage est sauvage, fouetté par le vent du large. Au bord de la falaise, on prend conscience de l'immensité de l'océan. Un édifice indique que nous sommes au point le plus à l'ouest de l'Europe, ainsi, on imagine que de l'autre côté, c'est l'Amérique. Le site est dominé par un édifice surmonté par un phare. Ses couleurs (rouge et blanc) tranche sur le bleu du ciel et sur le vert de la végétation.

Amazing view during our sailing!

Fantastyczne widoki i mnóstwo miejsca do spacerowania

Piękne widoki, warto przespacerować się do Playa de Ursa czy też zostać obejrzeć zachód. Dobrze mieć coś ciepłego do ubrania - silnie wieje. Uwaga na autobusy, czasem niestety zdarza im się nie przyjechać i trzeba czekać na kolejny.

Posto stupendo solitamente ventoso, ma con la giornata giusta il vento è minimo a 5/10 minuti d'auto si trova un rifugio abbastanza frequentato a 15/20 minuti si trova un piccolo centro urbano con localini, ristoranti e caffè!

Touristy, not much signficance other than it’s landmark location. Wish all the loud, obnoxious motocyclists and tourist megabusses would continue west into the ocean.

😀👍

Amazing place to visit when in Sintra. Great views from the walls and the place is steeped rich in history. Reccommend combining your ticket with the one for the Palace(worth seeing both). You can also get a handy bus from the square instead of walking up. Tickets can be bought from the local tourist office, which is a 10 minute walk from the train station.

A big walk up to the Castlo yields some beautiful views of the area. Some very interesting history to be learned and is a gem in a captivating area of Portugal. Well worth a visit but does require time/fitness to get to!

Beautiful place. Stunning views. Breathtaking. Good exercise too. They have got toilets and cafe up there. Very clean as well. Worth stopping by 😊

My favorite place in Sintra! For those who can, there are 2 trails to access the castle if you prefer, they are of medium difficulty and you walk mainly in the shade, so it is great. The castle has wonderful views of the city and is fun for all ages.

Adventure! A wonderful experience in an incredibly historical setting. Hard work up and down steps, battlements and towers, but brilliant fun and a very genuine feel. The staff were superb and helpful while the facilities that were so modern complimented the historic very well. Presentation of the history was superb. we visited on a misty wet but mild day, with no visibility but still loved it. Overall really worth visiting and my favourite part of Sinatra.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful and very interesting construction (Original) Uma contrução maravilhosa e muito interessante

The Castle of the Moors (Portuguese: Castelo dos Mouros) is a hilltop medieval castle located in the central Portuguese civil parish of Santa Maria e São Miguel, in the municipality of Sintra, about 25km northwest of Lisbon. Built by the Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries, it was an important strategic point during the Reconquista, and was taken by Christian forces after the fall of Lisbon in 1147. It is classified as a National Monument, part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place, but it is not worth paying to enter the truth. Optional of each. (Original) Lugar muy bonito, pero no merece la pena pagar por entrar la verdad. Opcional de cada uno.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, beautiful views. But you need good physical shape to get there)))) (Original) Гарне місце, чудові краєвиди. Але потрібна хороша фізична форма, щоби туди добратися))))

(Translated by Google) Just ruins, nothing unusual. But climbing the walls is interesting. There is a beautiful view of the city below. But the Pena Palace from this place is not the best perspective (Original) Просто руины, ничего необычного нет. Но полазить по крепостным стенам интересно. Открывается красивый вид на город внизу. А вот дворец Пена с этого места - не самый удачный ракурс

Magical place with an atmosphere that takes us to medieval ages and brings a fairytale mood.. a must see...

Very nice castle, nice views. Definitely should be seen after Pena Palace

(Translated by Google) Nice views. (Original) Bonitas vistas.

beautiful vacation

(Translated by Google) The walk from the center of the village, to the castle of Mouros and fantastic. Surrounded by nature. The only disappointment was the fog. It is necessary to pay to visit the Castle, and on a foggy day, it is not worth it. (Original) O passeio desde o centro da vila, até ao castelo de Mouros e fantástico. Rodeado de natureza. A única desilusão foi o nevoeiro. E necessário pagar para visitar o Castelo, e num dia de nevoeiro, não vale a pena.

(Translated by Google) Well worth it, it has stunning views (Original) Merece la pena , tiene unas vistas impresionantes

(Translated by Google) Good views ideal for watching the sunset Worth visiting the space Visiting time 1h (Original) Boas vistas ideal para ver o por do sol Vale bem a visita ao espaço Tempo de visita 1h

(Translated by Google) First castle I visited and it was a hard experience, I faced the challenge of walking its stairway along the wall. You don't need to be athletic, be 10 in physical shape to go from end to end, but if you are a person who gets tired easily, better not try not to get in the way and get in the way, because there are usually many people doing the route, it is disputed and there are many narrow stretches. The look is worth the effort and the visit is incomplete to say "I met the castle" if you don't do the route. (Original) Primeiro castelo que visitei e foi uma experiência puxada, encarei o desafio de percorrer sua escadaria ao longo do muro. Não precisa ser atlético, estar 10 em forma física para percorrer de ponta a ponta, mas se for pessoa de cansar fácil, melhor não tentar para não ficar no meio do caminho e atrapalhar a fila, porque normalmente há muitas pessoas fazendo o percurso, é disputado e há muitos trechos estreitos. O visual compensa o esforço e a visita fica incompleta para dizer "conheci o castelo" se não fizer o percurso.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, good ride !! (Original) Très sympa, bonne balade !!

Amazing place with dounting castle walls surrounding you. Easily accessible by bus from the Sintra city centre. (Costs around 4 euro's I believe). Walking might be possible as well, but it will take you some time. (You might want to spend your time in other places in this area..)

(Translated by Google) Amazing (Original) Maravilhoso

(Translated by Google) The castle ruin of the Moors that invites you to visit the town of Sintra with a great view. The ruin is very impressive due to its exposed location on the mountain and the tremendous amounts of rock, keeping in mind the century in which it was built. Of course, the ruin is by no means comparable to the nearby palace complex, which is why the ruins should rather be seen during a visit to the castle. (Original) Die Burg Ruine der Mauren die bei einem Besuch im Städtchen Sintra zu einem Besuch mit toller Aussicht einlädt. Die Ruine wirkt durch ihre exponierte Lage am Berg und den ungeheuren Mengen an Gestein sehr beeindruckend, wenn man sich dabei vor Augen hält in welchem Jahrhundert diese erbaut wurde. Mit der unweit entfernten Palastanlage ist die Ruine natürlich keinesfalls vergleichbar, weshalb die Ruine eher im Zuge eines Besuchs im Schloss mit angesehen werden sollte.

(Translated by Google) Very show I highly recommend the visit. (Original) Muito show recomendo bastante a visita.

(Translated by Google) CAUTION! The castle is just wonderful! The view is unique and the information available is interesting to read. Basically it makes us relive the history and the way we lived. However be very careful! Ticket machines break down, allowing double or even triple payments without leaving any ticket or ticket. What is certain is that the machine belongs to another company that is not present and is simply a load of time wasted to get the money back! Beyond the time we were without it of course! Preferably ticket offices with service and comply with safety standards. However, great last morning! (1 and a half hours for the entire calming journey) (Original) CUIDDO ! O castelo é simplesmente maravilhoso! A vista é única e a informação disponível interessante slde ler. No fundo faz nos reviver um pouco a história e a forma como se vivia. No entanto muito cuidado! As máquinas de bilhetes avariam, permitindo a duplicação ou mesmo triplicação de pagamentos sem sair nenhum tiket ou bilhete. O que é certo é que a máquina pertence a outra empresa que não está presente e simplesmente é uma carga de tempo perdido para reaver o dinheiro! Para além do tempo em que ficamos sem ele pois claro ! De preferência as bilheteiras com atendimento e cumpra as normas de segurança . No entanto, grande manhã passada! (1 hora e meia para todo o trajeto calmante )

Great place to visit €8 per adult

(Translated by Google) Worth it. I recommend. (Original) Vale a pena. Recomendo.

Great view.

(Translated by Google) A grand fortress in a beautiful historic town. The view of the castle walls is truly unbeatable. The entrance price is fair for what you get. However, the walk to the castle itself is quite steep. Be prepared for this. (Original) Een grandioze vesting in een prachtig historisch stadje. Het uitzicht op de kasteelmuren is werkelijk onovertroffen. De inkomprijs is fair voor wat je krijgt. De wandeling naar het kasteel zelf is echter wel vrij steil. Wees hierop voorbereid.

(Translated by Google) This would be better called the Moorish Walls, because there is no castle there. Which does not detract from the beauty of the place. Beautiful! What a wonderful view. (Original) Esse seria melhor chamado de Muralhas dos Mouros, pois ali não há castelo algum. O que não tira a beleza do lugar. Lindíssimo! Que vista maravilhosa.

(Translated by Google) The ticket machine did not work and so after 3000 steps we were denied entry, what a shame these incompetent staff (Original) Der Ticketautomat ging nicht und deshalb nach 3000 Schritten wurde uns der Zutritt verweigert, was für eine Schande dieses inkompetent e Personal

Amazing views

(Translated by Google) Very nice and well preserved (Original) Muy bonito y bien conservado

(Translated by Google) I can go there a thousand times, it will always be like the 1st great location (Original) posso lá ir mil vezes, será sempre como a 1ª excelente local

(Translated by Google) Nice to visit, it makes your legs climb to the top. Plan to visit on a day when the sky is open to have the view. (Original) Sympa à visiter, ça vous fait les jambes à monter jusqu'en haut. Prevoir de visiter un jour où le ciel est découvert pour avoir la vue.

(Translated by Google) Most like the Great Wall of China, beautiful .... recommended a visit (Original) O máis parecido a muralla China, fermoso....recomendable a visita

A short walk from the Pena Palace, the walls of this castle are breathtaking! Treat yourself to sweeping vistas and an amazing view of Sintra, spread out below. If you're afraid of heights, just don't look down! 😁

Really nice Castle.. its a lot of walk and hiking up and down stairs but the views are great.. if you are in Sintra just for one day then skip this to make it to the Pena and the Ragelia castles

Interesting Moorish castle in the Sintra hills. A fun walk around the walls. I would go here before the Palace as this is less spectacular.

Amazing views, definitely while skies are clear. You can see so far. The castle it self is also very impressive

Bring your walking shoes because the walls are steep but it is well worth the hike. At the top of the keeps you will see incredible vistas that were protected as late as the 12th century. There are well labeled plaques throughout the castle in both Portuguese and English. There are also clean bathrooms, a few cafes and plenty of benches to rest at.

Enjoyable experience to run around the old castle which is more of a fort, or seems to be. Great views and photo ops.

Wonderful ruins and it’s like Great Wall of China but shorter version. The views from here were just amazing. You can actually see Pena Palace from here too. Just be ready to lose some weight when visiting it!

Dramatic views from a well preserved historic place of interest. The walk was very enjoyable in the cooler winter weather. The coffee shop and bathrooms were in a good state and clean even though it was a busy day. Don't miss the opportunity to spend a few minutes in the peaceful cistern, it's so soothing and relaxing!

This place was UNREAL. Please make sure you take proper sneakers/hiking shoes/ etc. As it is a lotttt of extensive walking and climbing. Climbing the walls was super cool—it really makes you feel how it would have felt back then and sincerely puts you in the shoes of past soldiers/knights. The views would have been amazing but we went on a rainy/foggy day. Still got a lot of great photos because the mist added to the vibe of the place for sure. Castle kitty was 10/10 of an accepts pets as a travel fare. There is a lot to see—dedicate about 3 hours to this if you get the chance.

The castle itself is not that spectacular but the walk up to the castle is beautiful with gorgeous gardens and views. Don’t take a bus or other transport but just walk from the centre of town. A beautiful 45 minute walk that you won’t regret.

We loved this more than the Palace! Incredible views, wear a jacket if you go in the fall, the wind is brutal. Definitely worth the trip from Lisbon-Rossio

Magical places with breathtaking views. It's worth the climb to see it with your own eyes! Be prepare for a lot of walking and climbing, but it is worthy

The castle is in good condition and has great views of the Palace of Peña and Sintra National Palace. I had mixed feelings on the visit though - there’s not a lot of history or signage internally, the cafe is iffy bitty and signs to the toilets confusing. However it is well preserved and has spectacular views of the other two palaces. Getting there - It is a 5-10 minute walk down from Peña Palace to the ticket entrance then another 400 meters peaceful wooded walk to the actual castle entrance. (You can also walk the 900m uphill from historic center, though after walking down that way afterwards wouldn’t recommend it unless you like an uphill hike as the people coming up looked a little rough) Tickets - Only one of two machines were working at the main entrance near road (400m from castle), so after waiting 5 minutes and barely moving we just bought them online while standing there. There was also a third machine at the actual castle entrance that seemed to be working.

Very cool walking paths. I highly recommend getting a city bus pass $11 for the day to get around to all the sightseeing destinations

Loved visiting this beautiful castle, I really enjoyed exploring the castle and walking along the walls - the views are superb. There is a small café, seating area and public toilets inside the grounds next to the entrance. The walk back down to Sintra through the park was pretty quick, and quite well signposted. It was also a really lovely walk, but perhaps not so good for those with mobility issues.

Wow! What an amazing place. Great views. You can see the Peña palace from here. You can also see the Atlantic Ocean from here. Would definitely recommend to visit here. We have had an amazing day 😌

This location is so amazing! It can be challenging for those of us that are older, so if you're not fully mobile and at least in partially good shape, you should avoid this place (i am mid 50s with 2 bad knees and ankles, but in good cardiovascular shape and it was ok).

Nice views from the top, after about 1 hour hike. The trails going up are very nice, they look like a garden, especially on the lower half. Once up, not much to visit other than walking on the castle's walls. Views are spectacular!

This is such a cool landmark! You can visit the castle and go up the stairs right to the top! The views are breathtaking and you can see all of Sintra :) we had no wait time as we got tickets in advance!

It was an unforgettable experience being able to walk through a medieval castle. The view also made it more exciting. We were able to see the Pena Palace from a certain point of the castle. There’s also steep areas so be ready to climb up.

More like a fortress than a castle, the view is incredible! Watch out for the winds tho! It has a small coffee shop but mostly for quick snacks, the tour is quick but the entrance and the path to get this is beautiful, between stone stairs and trees. There is a beautiful trial either to go up or go down ( I'll recommend going down back to the historical town center of Sintra)

Nice walk in the park both solo and with friends and family. Nice views of Sintra village. Interesting they have the different flags throughout the years of conquest. Can be windy, so brace yourselves. Looking from the town centre looked like a visit around sunset would be great.

You can see a very beautiful scenery up there. You could reach the top within half an hour walk. So its not a very difficult climb.

The castle is a shortish walk up (and I stress up) from historic Sintra or a 10 min walk down from Peña Palace. It’s definitely worth visiting. Not as crowded and Peña you you get to walk through it. Some great views from the two parts of the castle. It is a lot of stairs/steps and some rough stone to walk on in areas. But so nice and cool with a breeze and the ability to walk through such history.

This castle was incredible! You can take a car/bus to the pathway to the castle, then enjoy a comfortable walk/hike out there. Lots of shade but probably pretty warm in the summer so go early. Very few lines, and not as many people as the palacio. More enjoyable because of how natural it is, and the nature you walk through. I wouldn’t recommend strollers, but you’ll want a baby carrier for sure (we used one). You can go really high on the walls, but be careful with young children as their aren’t many safety precautions (which I prefer because it’s more natural). Bring water and snacks, as their cafeteria has almost nothing and the line is always long. Still, I’d love to go back. Awesome visit

Very nice castle on top a pretty high hill. Not too much to see inside as it's mostly walls, but we enjoyed the walk up and around. Unfortunately it was very foggy and cloudy when we went so we didn't get to enjoy the wonderful view.

I thought it was as fabulous as Pena Palace and the structure is just amazing. You have incredible views of almost everything. Definitely should go to it and skip the two closer to town. The walk from town to Mouros and Pena is a good walk.

A very unique, interesting, wonderful, great experience. I've seen it many times, I can't get tired of it. This is a must see. You need warm clothes, it's always cold and windy. Hiking boots and good condition are important.

The exterior os very beautiful. If you recognize even a little architecture you get the feeling it's been glued together. It's cool to see furniture eight where it was left.

My husband and I went in November on a Sunday around 1pm. There was no wait to get inside. It was a little chilly so bundle up. We bought our tickets in advance but you are able to purchase tickets on site both with a live person and on a screen. The views were amazing!! Plus you can also get several views of the Pena Palace and overlook of Sintra and the ocean.

Very cool place to walk around. Surrounding gardens are stunning as well so try and walk up to the castle. We were even able to walk from the Train Station - a lot of uphill but well worth it as you get to see a bit of the local surroundings.

Amazing place, a lot to see so plan it well. Many ways to approach it, from 1 hr hike to being driven to the entrance. For the climbers there is some special terrain. Highly recommand

An amazing experience climbing up the stairs to the summit. Pros: 1. Very well maintained castle 2. Amazing views Cons: 1. Steps are narrow 2. Be prepared for a steep climb The effort is worth it - highly recommended!

Add to your list of places to visit if you arw coming to Sintra - the view is exceptional and you get to walk the full wall of the castle. Peaceful grounds and well maintained, a highlight of our day Better than Pena Palace
