Great experience! This self guided tour was wonderful! The hiking to the castle of the moors was absolutely brilliant! If you love history, this tour will take you back in time, and at the same time will bring you back to the present in a liminal moment when you look down to present Sintra!

The instructional directions often times were difficult to follow and didn't take one to the correct spot. Once there the info about the spot was interesting

Moorish Castle

The Castle of the Moors, situated atop a hill in Sintra, Portugal, is a testament to centuries of history. From the castle walls, you can see beautiful views of the Tejo River to the south, stretching to Arrabida, and Cabo da Roca to the west. From here, you can see Peniche to the north and enjoy the view of Sintra's lush hills with charming homes and chalets. Ongoing archaeological digs have unearthed fascinating finds, including a Christian graveyard and various artifacts now showcased within the castle. Today, the esteemed Moorish Castle stands as a National Monument, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, welcoming visitors from all walks of life.

Monserrate Palace

Monserrate Palace isn't just for history buffs; it's a masterpiece for everyone. This summer retreat showcases the unique tastes of its past owners, with stunning halls filled with alabaster statues and ornate symbols.
