I did not enjoyed tickets since I had to spend money on it. However I did like Moorish castle a lot. It was very fun climbing to it and also amazing views on the top.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Château des Maures, mainly because of the exceptional views it offers of Sintra, the surrounding forest, and the Pena Palace. For those views alone, the climb is well worth the effort (not to be underestimated, though I believe there’s also a bus that can take you up). Don’t expect to visit a furnished or perfectly preserved castle: it consists primarily of ruins and medieval fortifications. However, the ramparts are remarkably well-preserved and allow you to walk through much of the site while enjoying spectacular views. If you want to see it all, plan for plenty of time and be prepared for a physical hike. We also appreciated the historical aspect of the site, founded during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula and later restored in the 19th century under the impetus of King Ferdinand II, as part of the Romantic rediscovery of Portuguese heritage. The atmosphere is very pleasant, surrounded by nature, with numerous trails and green spaces. An ideal complement to a visit to the Pena Palace, offering a deeper understanding of Sintra’s history while enjoying magnificent scenery.

We really enjoyed the castle but unfortunately it was cut short as we accidentally walked out the exit gate and quickly realised we walked out as we walked back in a man who worked there told us we couldn't go back in I offered to show me tickets incase he thought we where trying to sneak in but he seen us walk out and quickly turn back around and he would not let us back in we were very disappointed as we still wanted to look around and sit down and eat some food and have a drink
