The Moorish Castle had been on my list for a while, but at first I hesitated because it sits high up on a very steep hill. However, seeing this masterpiece from afar while visiting Quinta da Regaleira completely changed my mind, so I decided to take the long walk up and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. Be prepared for some uphill walking and make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You can buy your ticket from the machine at the entrance gate and then enjoy the majestic views. Surely recommended!!

The view from the castle was very nice. Overall, it was a great experience. If you're not particularly athletic, you should definitely take the bus up to the castle, as the road is quite steep. Book your ticket in advance!

Be prepared for a hard climb. Don't trust taxi and tuk-tuk drivers. You'll still have to walk up; it's impossible to drive up. Visit only in good weather; rain will make it incredibly slippery, and clouds will prevent you from seeing the stunning views of Sintra and the surrounding area. Many other castles and palaces in the Sintra area are also visible from here. Stunning!😍 During the season, it's better to buy tickets in advance, but carefully calculate the time; the climb may take longer than you expect, and if you buy a timed ticket, you won't make it in time.
