About
The Moorish Castle is a military fortification that bears witness to the Islamic presence in the region, and was probably constructed between the eighth and ninth centuries and later expanded after the Reconquista. Overlooking the town of Sintra, it served as a watchtower, guaranteeing the protection of Lisbon and its surroundings.

- stacy p77 contributionsWe weren’t supposed to go to the Moorish Castle. We were stood up by a tour guide and had to wing our trip to Sinatra from Lisbon (surprisingly easy). My entire family agrees that the tour guide not showing up was the best thing that could of happened because we can’t image our trip with going here. Some quick notes and advice on getting the the Castle. In Lisbon, we walked to Rossio station, bought 4 cheap tickets and got a train with little waiting. After getting off in Sinatra, there is were an ungodly number of people offering to drive you to the castle/palace (or do a tour) for 10 euros. We had already decided we wanted to do the hike up (we enjoy nature and hikes and the weather was nice in mid June). The hike up (that takes about an hour) was beautiful and we’re glad we did it, but it’s one of the most difficult hikes I’ve ever done (I’ve been a scout leader for 12 years). The incline is often steep, there is bouldering, and smooth narrow stone steps in places. Don’t try it in the rain. Because we did it in the morning (around 10) there weren’t a ton of people so we took our time stopping and taking pictures. When we walked back down at 3pm it was too crowded to stop since in places the walkway is only big enough for 1 person. When we got to the ticket booth the first available entrance to Pena Palace was 1:30 so we went to the Moorish Castle first (I’d recommend buying tickets ahead of time and doing the opposite since Pena is far more crowded). It was another 10 minute walk up with a small museum and some archeological digs along the way. Then you can visit the cistern and a small café before the main attraction (I don’t recommend the café. Terrible selection). The Moorish castle doesn’t have rooms and furniture, it’s just sprawling high walls that you can walk from end to end. The views and the scenery are absolutely spectacular. It’s being surrounded by some of the most beautiful land you’ve ever seen, seeing as far as the ocean, with castles doted in the distance, while standing on nearly on something man made that’s nearly a thousand years old. It’s awing. Ten out of ten must do. Now for the warnings. There are very few safety features to mar this experience. Do not even attempt if you have any mobility issues, any balance issues, have a low fitness level, or are afraid of heights. If you go with young kids talk them ahead of time about not running and staying away from the edges and keep your eye on them. And absolutely don’t attempt if the ground in wet. It would be a death trap.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 18, 2024
- JvH48Amersfoort, The Netherlands87 contributionsWe found a parking spot near Castelo dos Mouros and Pena Palace, both near the city of Sintra, away from the overcrowded city of Lisbon. When approaching the Pena Palace, we saw a long queue with tourists. With our Lisbon card, we were allowed to skip the queue via a bypass. But that did not help much: time slots were issued for about two hours later. After some deliberation we decided to avoid this and to change our destination. We should have planned this ahead by arriving much earlier, or having booked online in advance. The website hints that early in the morning or late afternoon are the best times to visit the Palace. Instead, we went to the nearby Castelo dos Mouros (Moorish Castle), without a waiting queue when we were there. The Lisbon card allowed no free access but granted 20% discount, so we paid €20.40 for 2 persons. The tickets we got contained a QR-code for downloading an audio tour, which I used barely as the spoken explanations were rather long. I still used it from time to time to read the associated text, and skip the talking. Given that there are lots of stairs, slopes and uneven pavement to cope with, there is little opportunity to use the audio tour (text or sound) proficiently, while walking and climbing takes all of your attention. It is not an easy climb. No hand rails or something of the kind. I succeeded nevertheless despite my age (76) and related imperfect walking abilities, using everything withing reach I could get my hands on to support my climbing. Luckily, the number of other visitors was limited. I don't want to think of repeating this exercise at times when really busy. I did not reach the top, but came far beyond halfway, leaving myself very proud of my achievements. Indeed, it takes some effort, an euphemism for sure, but eventually the view higher-up is spectacular. Looking down on villages below, very far below, one can easily feel insurmountable in this very old (8th or 9th century) fortress. It served not only as a watch tower but was also specifically designed to protect Lisbon and its surroundings.Visited February 2025Traveled with friendsWritten March 12, 2025
- Ilovemyjollies475 contributionsSo glad we did this. We opted for her rather than Pena due to reviews, and felt this was the right choice as we got pictures of Pena from the castle. We bought tickets online from the official website before going, you get a discount if you buy more than 3 days ahead. The walk itself requires a certain level of fitness, even to get to the entry point. The views are spectacular, and you get 3 different options to walk to the top. We fell lucky, as the one we chose (without realising) have us views of Pena too, as well as Sintra and beyond. You can also see Quinta da Regaleira such we had visited earlier, and there is a static binocular look out to get more close up views. It wasn't overly busy. Note that on our way out there were people queuing to buy tickets, the ticket office was closed 12-1pm, so avoid that time or buy online if you are intending to visit around that time. Would highly recommend if you can cope with the stepsVisited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 7, 2024
- Albert_MHTokyo Prefecture, Japan351 contributionsA 15-minute walk from the Pena Palace is the entrance to this Moorish (Muslim) wall. So it is a Recommendation to visit Pena Palace in the early hours of the morning, followed by the Moorish walls. The main attraction is the ramparts, but the walk from the entrance to the ramparts takes about 10 minutes. History buffs will love the site, as the road to the ramparts contains ruins such as Moorish tombs, and a museum featuring archaeological artifacts found near the ramparts in a small chapel. The walls were also a maze of places to tickle your sense of adventure. Also, the city of Sintra was magnificent from there. It is Recommendation to walk easily on the ramparts as they are slippery and to wear non-slip shoes.Visited May 2024Traveled soloWritten September 12, 2024
- ChrisYXULondon, Canada178 contributionsWalked down to the Moorish Castle from Pena. Exhibits along the trail are interesting to read. Admission pre-purchased was fairly inexpensive. When inside it is amazing to reflect on how old these walls are and to imagine what life was like so many years ago. We are from North America so have a hard time imagining anything more than 600 years old. It is a great leg workout and I would say not worth doing if you are not fit enough to climb the walls or have a fear of heights. Well worth the visit.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 7, 2024
- SaltLifeGalVenice, Florida157 contributionsWe hiked up the Villa Sassetti Route after walking to and from Quinta de Regularia. There were a combination of stone steps and forest paths to reach the Castle in about an hour. We bought our tickets in advance, and were welcomed to gorgeous views over the rampart ruins. We had excellent weather midday! It was a bit busy there and no directional signs so some areas felt crowded and potentially unsafe with young children and no handrails. We then walked up to Pena Palace to view from the outside only (a separate pre-purchased ticket to enter the grounds) and took a car ride down for 5 euros since we had done a lot of walking in the heat! I think we made a good plan for the day with Quinta, Moorish Castle and foregoing Pena Palace Tour.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 4, 2024
- Luke SShelburne Falls, Massachusetts118 contributionsI've been several times now with visitors and this place never gets old, despite being REALLY old. The walk up to the castle is very pretty and winds it's way through what used to be an ancient village. Various excavation points along the way have nice explanations and give you a sense of who lived here and how. The castle walls themselves have a lot of steps to navigate, but the restoration is well done and the views are beautiful. Just note that the mountain often sits in the Sintra cloud, so bring an extra layer of clothing. It might be warm and sunny in Cascais, but cooler, windier, and damper on the mountain.Visited January 2025Traveled with familyWritten March 12, 2025
- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,461 contributions"The Moorish Castle" towers over the town of Sintra in a most picturesque manner. Dating back to the 8th century, the castle has been damaged by earthquakes and neglect over the centuries, but always rebuilt and restored. We didn't have time to climb up to the castle and explore its interior, but the ramparts and turrets are fabulous even viewed from the town.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 10, 2024
- Ali921Edinburgh, United Kingdom1,549 contributionsSo much better than Pena Palace. Most of the bus tours do not stop here so not as crowded. Not like a British castle (small with accommodation inside the outer walls) , more like a fortified hill. Lot of of ground to see and walls to walk on, with incredible views. Make sure to go to the highest point and look back at Pena Palace which is even higher and right at the top of the next hill. There is a very small cafe serving snacks, more like a kiosk. It's about 2 min walk from the Pena park entrance but about another 1km before you actually reach the castle itself.Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 4, 2024

It is up above all else and one wonders how they managed to get the building materials way up there in ancient times. It takes a while for your tour to get to the top.Visited November 2024Traveled with friendsWritten November 10, 2024

Sintra is packed, even in the off-season (early Nov) and it’s obvious as soon as you get to the train station. We decided not to Uber to the top and just walked it. It took us about 45 min to get to the ticket booths from the train station. We are fairly fit but anyone who’s able to walk uphill for some time will be able to do it, just add additional time. We apparently saved €40 on a tuk tuk ride to the top, passed by a ton of traffic, and happened to see extra sights on the way up.
While there was still a lot of people, walking along the walls freely was quite an amazing experience. It was also very windy so prepare for that if you’re travelling in the fall. The views were breathtaking and it was a more pleasurable walk here than the overcrowded Pena Palace (which I still recommend you visit). You also don’t need to book a specific time to get in. The only thing that we queued for was the cafe run by only 1 person who didn’t seem to rush anything. We were hungry so we waited patiently (we had time to kill before heading up to Pena Palace) and the wraps we had were decent.
If you are going to Pena Palace, walk from here, there is a 300 m hiking trail near the entrance. It’s better than walking 800 miles on the road with all the traffic.

With a privileged view over the Atlantic Coast, the floodplains and the Sintra Mountains, the ancient Castelo dos Mouros was strategically built on one of the highest peaks in the Sintra Mountains and on an outcrop of large granite rocks. It functioned as an insurmountable natural defense and the Moors lived there until 1147. That year, Sintra was handed over to Dom Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, following the conquest of the cities of Lisbon and Santarém. With the settlement of Christian populations in the Castle of the Moors, the Islamic Quarter disappeared and gave way to a medieval village, whose occupation lasted until the 15th century. With the pacification of conflicts between Moors and Christians, the populations no longer needed to take shelter near the fortification. In 1995, UNESCO classified the Cultural Landscape of Sintra as a World Heritage Site, of which the Castelo dos Mouros is a fundamental element. The castle is open seven days a week and this includes Mondays, when many monuments are closed in Lisbon. Entrance costs around 12 euros and a typical visit lasts around an hour and a half.

I would love to give this a positive review but I feel quite bitter about it now. I had been most looking forward to my visit to Sintra, and to this castle in particular. We arrived by train and had a beautiful (and tiring) walk up; when we arrived we saw that the ticket office was closed and all the ticket machines were broken. Then, you couldn't buy the tickets from anywhere online (i.e. all the official or third party websites would fail at the point of purchase) - I suppose the central server was down. There were massive numbers of people all trying the same as us to get in or buy a ticket (from the machines, on their phones, etc.). The guard wouldn't let anyone without a ticket in - obviously, this isn't his fault, but it's maddening that this major destination does not have an alternative, even when they clearly see and were acknowledging that their systems were not working. Why couldn't they get someone in the ticket office? Why couldn't they take cash at least for the temporary period that the online tickets weren't working? Frankly, if the system is down like this, and it's no ones fault that they can't get a ticket, they should have just opened the gates.
We wasted good time on a day trip that is limited by time anyway queuing and fighting with broken websites and ticket machines, only to be unceremoniously turned away at the gate, having travelled far by plane and train and climbed high on a hot day to see it. I don't know when, or if, I'll ever be back again, and I'm genuinely quite upset about it. So, for anyone reading this: make sure you pre-buy your ticket if you want to get in; but also, don't expect that to work. And if it doesn't, don't bother going because they'll turn you away.

This was a place that I'd seen in the distance on our last visit to Sintra but never visited. Built in the 8th and 9th centuries by Moorish colonisers, it is more of a fortified village than a castle. The fortifications were surrendered to the Christians after the conquest of Lisbon, expanded in the 14th century, abandoned by the 16th and then romantically remodelled and restored in the 19th.
It is quite a hike to get there from Sintra so we opted for the Tuktuk, great value at €10 and a lot less sweaty than walking! From the parking area there is a short walk through the woods with a guardhouse below you and then the chapel and necropolis. You then enter the castle proper and the ticket office if you haven't already bought tickets in the car park.
The walls of the castle obviously follow the ridgeline and they are ridiculously steep in places although they are well restored and have proper steps. The views are just awesome over both Sintra village and the Pena Palace and luckily on our visit there was no wind. My vertigo was bad enough without having to contend with a gale as well! I'd say this was my highlight of this visit to Portugal and we spent about 90 minutes inside although we didn't get to see the archeological area or the museum so probably 2 hours is more sensible.

My favourite place we went to during our trip. The views were spectacular and breathtaking. It can pretty scary though if you are scared of heights and I wouldn’t recommend bringing little kids who just want to run around. We walked up from the town taking the back way trail which was pretty steep but only took us 20 minutes with multiple stops. We bought tickets at the entrance for €10/adult, no line ups at all and fairly empty when we were there shortly after lunch time. There was also a sitting area and food options available as well as washroom facilities. You can also bring your dog in though they cannot walk on the castle wall so there is a little dog parking area for them.

Catching the early morning train to Sintra from Oriente, took a little over an hour. Exiting the northern side of Sintra Station which was the end of the railway line, we waited in line with other tourists to catch the regular tourist bus to the Moorish Castle with the building crowd. When the bus stopped outside the gate to Castelo dos Mouros, most tourists stayed onboard to go to the next Palace stop. Tickets from the auto machine at the front gate took forever, due to a machine not working, but the wait was worth it. Fabulous, though not ideal for anyone experiencing walking difficulties. Just enjoy what we still have the opportunity to visit. We felt it was a wise move for us to exit the tourist bus at the 1st stop when there were no crowds, which we experienced later in the day. Upon leaving we caught the next packed tourist bus to Pena Palace.

Fantastic views across the local area and beyond but beware there are lots of steps. The whole castle gives you different perspectives of the surrounding area with phenomenal opportunities of taking photos especially of the Peña Palace in the background. We planned to travel on the 434 hop on hop off bus but it was full and drove past us, which is to be expected as the area is very busy with tourists. So we used a tuk tuk instead which cost €10 per person, we are glad we did as it was very quick and the driver stopped at different points to point out local highlights. The driver we got on the way down gave us a guided tour and cost €7.50 per person. Best to buy your tickets for this online in advance so that you don’t have to wait at the ticket machine when you arrive. Once you arrive you walk along a cobbled path before you enter the attraction which is where your tickets will be scanned.

Leaving from the Regaleira Palace on foot, to avoid the bus scams much criticized on the trip advisor site, we walked 1 hour to reach the top of the castle. Beautiful walk in Sintra and especially in the forest with a steep slope and paved paths. We did it with three children aged 17/12 and 6 without problem. and we met quite a few children. The reward is strong at the top as the view is 360 degrees. Nice walk, the castle only has its wall...worth it for me if we did the walk. View of Pena Palace from above

We visited as a couple. We were able to enjoy the Shirahama hot springs without any worries in the spacious bathtub.
The best thing was the food. There was an excitement while waiting for the sushi in the live kitchen, and both the sushi and sashimi were really delicious. Even more amazing were the staff. They were attentive and had a really beautiful demeanor. It was a wonderful and comfortable stay. Thank you very much.

This was super cool. You're basically hiking the entire time, so dress accordingly. Would recommend going here AFTER Pena Palace (it's about a 5-10 min walk downhill from the main entrance of the palace). The views are stunning but there is just about nothing written once you are inside (including no directions on which way to go first). After your ticket is scanned, we took the stairs to the right and went up. You'll go up, then down, then up again to the highest point (which is beautiful). All in all, we were there about 2 hours. Note bathrooms are ONLY at the entrance and you can walk into town (specifically to the Quinta da Regaleira) in about 25 minutes.

Hi, I plan to visit Pena Park ( I don't plan to visit the inside of the Palace, just the park), Moorish Castle, and Regaleira. Would you recommend first go to Regaleira, lunch stop at city center, then go up to Pena Park and Moorish Castle or the reverse route? which route will be least crowdy? I heard that many tours start at Pena as first stop. So I am thinking maybe Pena in the afternoon would be less crowdy. Thanks for your advice.

Hi. We got to Sinatra near 12 so we had no plans to see Peña Palace inside anyway. We spent a long time at the Moorish and then decided to walk back and got lost and so then had a late lunch walked around the town and went home. You can see the outside of Peña Palce while walking.

Bem, os dois pontos não são tão longe, acredito que distem mais ou menos 1 km entre si. Mas, o caminho é bem íngreme.Acredito que uma boa solução seja o transporte coletivo. Não me lembro se havia bilhetes diários, pois assim poderias comprar e usufruir quanto quisesses. Acharias bem perguntares no Serviço de Infromação Turísica que existe ao Palácio Nacional de Sintra.

Considering an excursion from a cruise to sintra. Can you see the castle and Pena palace from the town
Written January 26, 2020
Nicola .. Well not really , You need to climb up the road or take a 434 bus up to Pena Palace (takes 20 mins approx) to get there.
You can walk but is all up hill and just one road with ALL the traffic on it as well.
Moorish Castle is very near to the Palace ..

bonjour,
Nous allons à Sintra en mai et voici mes questions ;
Pouvons nous prendre juste un tuktuk pour montée au palais de PENA, puis après visite du palais pour aller au Castelo dos Mouros ?.
Nous aimerions redescendre à travers la foret, à partir du Castelo dos mouros, est ce faisable ?
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
Written January 22, 2019
Aucun souci pour prendre des Tuktuk pour n’importe quel trajet. Il y en a beaucoup, un peu partout. J’ignore en revanche le prix car nous avons préféré tout faire à pied. La descente dans la forêt est merveilleuse et accessible. Pas besoin d’être un sportif chevronné. De belles vacances en perspective pour vous en mai, avec sans doute un peu plus de touristes (en hiver c’est un avantage)
