Definitely worth it! If you go on foot, towards both places as I did, be prepared to have sore muscles the next day 😉 At the Moorish castle, it's a lot of clamping, a lot of stair climbing, but trust me, it's more than worth it! It is beautiful! At Quinta da Regaleira it is a lot of walking because it is big, also hilly, so definitely not just flat. The "well" where you would come out as reborn.... I expected a lot from it in the sense that you could walk down for a while quietly.... However, you "have to" keep walking, because if you stand still for too long to have a look or take good pictures, someone will call you to keep walking.... That's kind of a shame. However, it is beautiful there!

Stepping along the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle is like touching history itself. The sweeping views of Sintra, the Atlantic, and the surrounding forests are truly awe-inspiring. We visited in the first week of October, when the crowds had thinned and the air was cooler, the perfect setting for slow exploration and quiet reflection. It’s a climb that rewards not only with vistas but with a sense of perspective, a reminder of time’s passage and human resilience. Bring good shoes, a bit of water, and time to simply stand, breathe, and take in the beauty that stretches endlessly in every direction.

The Moorish Castle was definitely worth a visit while in Sintra. The views from the top were incredible, and walking along the old stone walls was a unique experience. It’s more of a ruin than a castle, so don’t expect furnished rooms or exhibits, but the history and setting are impressive. There’s a fair bit of walking and stairs, so wear good shoes and bring water—especially if it’s hot. It wasn’t overly crowded when we went in the morning, which made it more enjoyable. Overall, a great stop if you like history, nature, or photography.

Looking for the best views of Sintra? Head up to the 10th-century Moorish Castle, where you can admire its sturdy walls, towers, and ramparts.

See relics dating back to the Bronze Age and enjoy some of the best views of Sintra and beyond, including the Atlantic Ocean, from atop.

Gain entry to Monserrate Palace which served as a summer residence for British royalty and aristocracy.

Wander through Portugal's lush botanical paradise, featuring picturesque grottos, and over 3,000 species of plants from various continents.

Fun fact: Monserrate Palace has served as a filming location for several movies such as "The House of the Spirits" (1993) and "The Ninth Gate" (1999).
