Moorish Castle

Walked up from main street to the ww2 tunnels, which takes you past and to the rear of the castle. The vews are spectacular and well worth the walk up. If you don't feel up to the very steep climb, you can get the number 1 bus.

The view is absolutely amazing from up of the Moorish Castle. You can't miss this one. I really recommend to go!

Moorish castle is my favorite Sintra attraction. It has a long history and real castle to show. I highly recommend to go with a tour, our tour guide, Sara, did an amazing job explaining the history behind the castle. The view from this castle is breathtaking; I haven’t been to any castle with such a beautiful view. The only thing is make sure you’re comfortable with taking stairs and not afraid of heights. Rest is just enjoying the nature and beautiful castle.

The steep walk through the town to reach the castle is an adventure of itself. Tight narrow stairways feel like you step back in time. The Castle itself offers a superb vista of the bay of Gibraltar and town.

Better views if you walk up the road higher by the tunnels. The inside is well maintained but can be tight space if you’re over 5”6. The viewing area is hard to see over if you’re short. We saw monkeys.

One of my favourite castles that I've visited. The views are brilliant because you can walk along the castle's external walls which are of course unobstructed. The whole castle grounds are very cool with lots to see. Preferred it to the palace. Leave yourself plenty of time to explore it all

Historic castle high up near the ww2 tunnels. A hard steep climb up multiple sets of stairs to reach it. Strongly recommend a taxi up

Iconic and stands tall over town proper. I did not go in though. Entrance to the castle is just next to the entrance to the nature reserve. Best route is to use Castle Steps starting from Main Street. It was a long tiring walk up to the castle, but it is worth it, with good view up the top.
