Le Château des Maures est une visite que nous avons beaucoup appréciée, principalement pour les panoramas exceptionnels qu'il offre sur Sintra, la forêt environnante et le Palais de Pena. Rien que pour ces points de vue, la montée vaut largement l'effort (à ne pas sous-estimer, quoi que je pense qu'il y a aussi un bus pour vous déposer). Il ne faut pas s'attendre à visiter un château meublé ou parfaitement conservé : il s'agit avant tout de vestiges et de fortifications médiévales. Cependant, les remparts sont remarquablement mis en valeur et permettent de se promener sur une grande partie du site tout en profitant de vues spectaculaires. Si vous voulez tous les faire : prévoir du temps et de la disponibilité physique. Nous avons également apprécié l'aspect historique du lieu, fondé à l'époque de l'occupation musulmane de la péninsule Ibérique puis restauré au XIXe siècle sous l'impulsion du roi Ferdinand II, dans le cadre de la redécouverte romantique du patrimoine portugais. L'ambiance est très agréable, au cœur de la nature, avec de nombreux sentiers et espaces verts. Une visite complémentaire idéale au Palais de Pena, qui permet de mieux comprendre l'histoire de Sintra tout en profitant de paysages magnifiques.

Pure magic! The amazing views from the castle walls are stunning, and the grounds at Quinta da Regaleira are mystical and pristine. Super clean environment and a must-visit if you're in Sintra! What impressed me the most was how spotless and well-maintained the environment was at both sites despite the crowds.

Les deux châteaux sont absolument magnifiques et plutôt proches l'un de l'autre. Quinta de regaleira vous transportera dans un monde magique et ses jardins sont incroyables. Je recommande tout de même de prendre un transport pour la chateau des maures à moins que vous aimez beaucoup les randonnées.

Visiting the Moorish Castle in Sintra was one of the highlights of our trip! The views overlooking the mountains, forests, and coastline were absolutely incredible. Walking along the ancient castle walls felt like stepping back in time, and there were so many beautiful photo spots everywhere you looked. It’s definitely a bit of a workout with the hills and stairs, but completely worth it for the scenery and history. Such a unique and unforgettable place to explore!
