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.

A visit to Castelo de São Jorge is well worth the hike up the hill. Definitely buy your tickets online ahead of time to avoid the line. The castle is fun to walk on and around and the views are amazing. It is also nice to be able to buy food and drink while you are there. I would highly recommend this outing.

The cloisters were a real delight, the ancient walls, a breathtaking sight. The little peacocks, sweet as pie, the big ones loud beneath the sky. The views knocked every breath away, from castle towers and Camera's display. All in all, it made our day!

The ruins provided amazing views around Lisbon and the surrounding areas. They are best enjoyed as part of a whole day out in Sintra, alongside many of the other attractions such as the palace.

Loved the castle sad that there was not more information about it would have loved to buy a book about the history of Catele de Sao Jorge. I enjoyed the peacocks and all the olive trees.
