Itinerary

  1. With this ticket you will be able to see the history which started with "In order to protect the area, the Moors constructed the old fortification known as the Moorish Castle in Sintra in the eighth and ninth century. Situated atop the untamed Sintra Mountains, this castle provides an intriguing window into Portugal's illustrious past. The castle was crucial to the governance of the surrounding areas because of its tall stone walls, mediaeval battlements, and advantageous location. The location also provides expansive views that span the town's palaces, the far-off Atlantic Ocean, and Sintra's forests."

About Sintra

Sintra is a hill town west of Lisbon, wrapped in misty forest and crowned by a Moorish castle, a colourful Romantic palace and mysterious gardens.

Sintra is a UNESCO-listed cultural landscape on the Serra de Sintra, a granite ridge that catches Atlantic mist and keeps the hills green and cool. Portuguese kings and nobles built summer palaces here. The Pena Palace, a painted fantasy of yellow and red towers, sits on the highest hill, while the Moorish Castle's walls climb the ridge nearby, and the old centre has the Sintra National Palace, recognisable by its two conical chimneys.
