Everything went smoothly from entry to exploring the Moorish Castle. It wasn’t overly crowded during our visit, so there was plenty of space to walk around, explore at our own pace, and enjoy the views without feeling rushed. The whole experience was easy and well organized. Definitely worth visiting while in Sintra!

Sacar las entradas por vuestra página fue un triunfo, 100% seguridad y llevarlas desde casa sacadas mejor que mejor, ya que una vez que llegas, en taquillas no hay nada El castillo hay que verlo es una pasada las murallas y las vistas

Facilité d'accès avec les billets, par contre l'audio guide est très mal conçu, il est très difficile de savoir où l'on doit se trouver et les informations données sont répétitives.

Lovely views from the ramparts and the walk from the palace to the castle through the gardens was lovely. Be prepared for lots of uphill walking in the castle.

Climbing the castle steps to various high gates with the flags fluttering on their top was an ecstatic experience. Excellent workout for the body climbing both up and down. The view of the valley below through the castles binoculars was spectacular. Don't ever miss out on the Moorish Castle while visiting Sintra. Roy Saldanha - Doha, Qatar

Bellissimo, molto sottovalutato come castello a Sintra. Personalmente è quello che ci ha sorpreso di più, una piccola muraglia cinese in Portogallo.

Step into the Moorish Castle’s storied stone walls and explore Sintra’s hilltop history at your own pace.

Getting started

Begin at the main entrance of the Moorish Castle, where your ticket is validated. These are dated tickets, so you can visit anytime within operating hours and stay for as long as you like, taking your time to admire the sweeping cityscapes and rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What to expect

Dating back to the 8th century, the Moorish Castle stands as a fortified landmark overlooking the Serra de Sintra and the Atlantic Ocean. Its granite walls and towers reflect centuries of Iberian history, from the Muslim occupation to medieval Christian rule.

Features

Second Circle of Walls: Start your exploration at this historic entry point, offering a first glimpse of the castle’s defensive architecture.

Islamic Houses: Walk through remnants of the original settlement, revealing the site’s early cultural layers.

Medieval Christian Necropolis: Visit this burial site to connect with the castle’s later Christian history.

Primary Wall and Old Stables: Discover how the castle’s design blended with the rugged landscape for defense and daily life.

Panoramic viewpoints: Enjoy sweeping views over Sintra, the Palace of Pena, and the Atlantic Ocean from the parapet walk.

You can upgrade and add a multilingual audio guide or guided tour to your visit and dive deeper into the history of this military fortress that once defended against Catholic invasions.

What to bring

Bring a fully charged smartphone and your trusted headphones if choosing the audio guide upgrade.

Make sure to wear sturdy walking shoes as you’ll encounter lots of uneven terrain inside the castle.
