This place, which I actually had never heard of before visiting Portugal, was an absolute pleasure and a "must see" for anyone visiting Lisbon. Just the trip up the hillside to the castle entrance, including a quick swing through the city of Sintra, was just beautiful. And the castle itself was breath taking. In addition, the logistics were easy to do. Our on-line ticket purchase the day before allowed us an early entry before the site became too crowded. We opted to walk up the hill (there is a shuttle for those who can' or don't wish to make the climb) and found the walk through the surrounding park to be wonderful. Arriving at the castle entry was easy and a self-guided tour allowed us to enjoy whatever aspects of the castle we wanted to see. Something we'd not seen before. Visitors can scan a QR code at the entrance (bring your mobile phone!) and download descriptions of each room, without having to fuss with the headsets and players typically in use. This made the excursion that more enjoyable. As mentioined, if you're in Lisbon, don't miss the chance to visit. It's important to do this with a tour bus or a private (tourguide) car. Parking in the area is nearly non-existent, and it's best to have someone else worry about transportation for you.

headout is a great app, got me the tickets and kept mr notified, and the tickets were easily accessible in my email. Locations were clearly marked for gaining access to the mountaintop, we took a tuktuk up to the entrance of the castle trail. One thing that the park officials need to do is improve the signage in the area. There is literally not one single sign between the base of the Moorish trails to tell you how to get back down to Sintra. Once in Sintra, no signs for the Quinta de Regaleira! Fortunately we just kept following Google walking maps and got there. Got out my email from from headout and boom there's the tickets. Quinta de Regaleira was amazing and beautiful.

We had such a lovely experience at Pema Palace and Park in Sintra. The place has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, and the beautiful surroundings make it feel like a little escape from the busier parts of Sintra. What really stood out was the warmth and hospitality. Everything felt relaxed and genuine, and we enjoyed simply taking our time and soaking in the surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy the moment. A wonderful spot to visit if you’re in Sintra — highly recommended!

From booking tickets, to receiving them, to arrival at the Palace, everything was easy and exactly as described. The directions and explanation of the walk from the entrance up to the palace was just as expected.... The Palace itself is beyond what the pictures show... stunning views and history! I would recommend this stop. From Lisbon it was an easy train ride. We then purchased return bus ride to the entrance - which is unlimited stops for the day and a hop on hop off for the area. Well Worth it.

Moorish Castle was absolutely amazing! I'm always blown away by the way they built complicated buildings without the technology that we have now! Prepare to climb up and down stairs. I believe we ended up with more than 20,000 steps the day we visited Sintra including the Moorish castle, Pena Palace and National Palace of Sintra. Mind blown!! 🤯

We begonnen de dag in Lissabon daar van daan met de trein naar Sintra. Pena palace kwamen we snel in omdat we al kaarten hadden gekocht. Een prachtig kasteel. Mooie uitzicht punten. En je kan een prachtige wandeling maken door het bos naar een kruis berg op maar de moeite waard! Ik zou dit zeker aanbevelen.

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.

Upgrade your basic ticket with an audio guide packed with stories, legends, and secrets to enhance your visit to both UNESCO sites!

Booking through Headout went super well, the app is simple to use, and you often get discounts the more you book through it, so we booked all of our activities in Portugal through it. Regarding the Pena Palace: The inside of the palace didn't really blow us away personally, but the huge park around it made up for it. There is so much to discover there, and you can spend many hours there.

To order tickets for a tour of Pena Palace & Moorish Castle. The gardens walking up to the palace are beautiful! We loved the unique charming & colourful palace. The views from the top of the palace are awesome. We liked the gift store where we bought a souvenir book. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the Moorish Castle, but had a gret view of it from the palace.

Pena Palace is much more interesting than Quinta da Regaleira. Watch out for transportation in Sintra! Anyone planning to walk to the attractions should set aside an entire day—there are lots of steep climbs and relatively long distances. Other than that, there are a few other options. Naturally, I ended up with the most expensive one, which turned out to be the worst. Better check your options before arriving in Sintra.
