What to expect

A visit to Portugal wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Moorish Castle. This historic castle was built in the 10th century by the Moors and originally served as a military outpost to protect the town of Sintra. After being conquered by Christian forces in 1147 during the fall of Lisbon, the castle was later abandoned. During the 19th century, King Ferdinand II took the castle under his care and restored it to become one of the major features of the Pena Palace, turning it into the romantic ruin that we know today. Avail of this ticket via Klook and get a chance to explore this majestic castle that bore witness to Portugal’s colorful past! You’re sure to also enjoy the lush flora and fauna as well as the breathtaking view it offers of Sintra and the Palace of Pena.

Review for: Moorish Castle Entrance Ticket

The castle is located at hilltop so have to prepare to climb up and down, but the castle itself and the views at top are definitely worth it. It is easy to entry with Klook voucher too.

Same with my Pena Palace review- the discount is negligible so can just buy the ticket on any online site. This is a good morning exercise! Lots of step climbing and only recommended if you don’t have a fear of heights.

Very easy to use, just show your e-ticket at the entrance, no need to print it out. Prices are similar to those purchased on the online website.

Review for: Moorish Castle Entrance Ticket

Enchanted castle with great views of Sintra, gave us insight into the medieval era creations of the moors. Some very shallow and narrow walls while walking up to the towers, not for the faint hearted.

The castle is a great place to climb. There are several view points to take pictures. On the top of Mourish castle, you can see different castles and famous views in Sintra.You may feel tired with legs. However, to conquer the castle is like winning a challenge of life. Recommend it.

Buying in Klook is cheaper than buying it on the spot. Just show your mobile phone and redeem it. Although it is very foggy, there is another feeling. The place is very big, at least it takes more than an hour to finish.
