About Castle of the Moors

The Castle of the Moors is a hilltop castle in Sintra, built on a rocky ridge above the town and recognisable by its long stretch of stone walls winding over the hillside. Visitors come for those walls and the views they open up across Sintra and the surrounding hills. The climb to the castle is part of the experience, and the walk up through woodland leads to a monument whose scale is best appreciated from the ramparts themselves. The castle is one of the historic sites that give Sintra its character, and travellers often pair a visit with the town's streets and palaces. Because the site sits high above the centre, the hotels near Castle of the Moors tend to be in Sintra itself, which keeps the landmark within reach on foot.

Tips for staying near Castle of the Moors

  • Set out for the walls early in the day: the ascent through the woodland is quieter, and the light on the castle and the hills below is at its best before the afternoon crowds build in Sintra.
  • If you are staying at one of the hotels 400 m to 500 m from the castle, such as Águamel Boutique Guest House or Villa Bela Vista, you can leave your bags and walk up without needing to move the car.
  • Wear shoes with grip: the route to the Castle of the Moors climbs over stone and uneven ground, and the ramparts themselves are rough underfoot once you are up there.
  • Travellers with an early flight the next day should choose a Sintra hotel close to the centre, such as Sintra Boutique Hotel or Lawrences Hotel, so the return journey from the castle stays short and simple.
