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 absolutely loved our visit to the Pena Palace, the Castelo dos Mouros, and the Quinta da Regaleira. They are truly beautiful places, steeped in history, with spectacular scenery and hidden corners that are worth exploring at a leisurely pace. That said, it’s advisable to wear sturdy shoes and be in reasonably good physical shape if you plan to visit all three in a single day, as there’s quite a bit of walking involved and some steep inclines. The best time to visit is in the morning, because these are very popular sites and tend to get crowded as the day goes on. Even so, we were left wanting more. Sintra has many other houses, palaces, and castles that we weren’t able to see this time, so we’ll definitely be back to continue discovering everything this special place has to offer.

Pena Palace is marvellous. We spent roughly two hours in the castle and the park. I love the details of the building, the tiles and other handmade beauties. Between Pena and Quinta we had some time and we decided to take the hiking route down to Sintra. It is doable but proper shoes are important! The route worth the effort: charismatic cliffs on the upper side followed by a botanical garden feeling. Quinta palace promises more than its real value. There is only a small exhibition in the palace, the garden is nice but less interesting after the park of Pena palace. All in all, a perfect day trip from Lisbon. Managable with combination of public transport and a taxi in Sintra from the railway station to Pena palace.

Palácio da Pena For me, the Palácio da Pena is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. The exterior is spectacular and the views are incredible, but the crowds can take away some of its charm. It’s worth seeing at least once for the unique atmosphere and for the photos. Quinta da Regaleira I found Quinta da Regaleira to be more special. It doesn’t impress with its grandeur, but with its mystery. The tunnels, gardens, and the Initiation Well give you the feeling that you’re uncovering a hidden secret. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. If I had to choose just one, I’d go back to Regaleira. Pena impressed me, but Regaleira enchanted me.

Lovely hotel, everything was spotless, friendly staff, 24/7 front desk, excellent housekeeping, delicious breakfast, within walking distance of many restaurants, the metro, the Tagus River, and a tuk-tuk right outside the door. Big plus: we were able to store our luggage in a locker after we checked out. Minor downside: if you want a cappuccino after leaving the breakfast room, it costs €4 per person, and the Olive restaurant was closed for dinner during our stay.

Worth the money. These two locations are worth all the walk. The gardens/grounds are just as amazing as the inside of the palaces. The well was very cool when you think about the secret society element. Give your self plenty of time to see each, took us about 2.5 at penna palace and the same at Regaledia. If your walking it does take about 45mins to walk down too without stops so factor that in before setting up times
    • Explore the 8th century military-style Moorish Castle, and 20th century fairytale Pena Palace with entry to both attractions in one convenient combo.

    • Climb up Moorish Castle's watch tower or admire the thought behind the Second Ring of Walls, designed to protect its people and harvest.

    • At Pena Palace, enjoy the eclectic mix of neo-Gothic, Manueline, and Islamic elements, then walk through the massive Pena Park dotted with statues, small ponds, and benches.

    We loved the Pena Palace. It was magnificent despite the fog and the cold in June. However, we couldn’t go to Quinta da Regaleira. The police had blocked the entrance. A tuk-tuk or private car costs €10 per person; there were four of us, so it would have been €80 for the round trip, which is outrageous. One of us has a disability, so it was impossible to walk up. Bottom line: we couldn’t take the tour even though we had tickets. Very disappointed.
