The ticket booking process was smooth and made it easy at the castle- though tickets were available at the venue as well. The castle though is something I would personally give a miss and spend more time in the Pena Park. The castle does offer some great panoramic views if the city, and the pleasure of the Highest point in the city, but beyond that.... Pena Park is what I would spend half a day or so with the Green clean serene and birds.

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.

Glad that I arrived when I did because as I was returning back from my exploration, the gates were closed for those that wanted to enter just before 6pm. So go earlier! No later than 5. The views were spectacular, and the hike up the stairs was a workout but worth every step. This place is old! Very cool.

    The castle was immense and its construction was unbelievable. The view from on top was remarkable. So many steps and nooks and crannies to discover.

    It is a tremendous place. Hard, very hard to climb but it is worth it to see what you can see from there. Free parking just before arriving on the left.
