Why combine Pena Palace and Moorish Castle?

They're practically next-door neighbours

Both sites sit on the same forested hilltop in Sintra. It's just a 10–15 minute walk between them. Visiting separately would mean two trips up the same hill

One hill, two chapters of history

The Moors built their castle here in the 8th century; King Ferdinand II built Pena Palace right next to it a thousand years later, even borrowing its Moorish style. Together, they tell the full story.

Save more, see more

A combo ticket gets you into both UNESCO World Heritage Sites at a lower price than buying them separately. Two landmarks, one booking, and money left over for a pastel de nata.

Two totally different views of Sintra

Pena Palace dazzles up close with its colorful towers and ornate interiors. The Moorish Castle hands you panoramic views across the entire region. Same hill, two completely different payoffs.

  • Pena Palace opening hours: Open daily from 9:30am to 7pm . Timed-entry slots are mandatory. So, book in advance.
  • Moorish Castle opening hours: Open daily from 9:30am to 8pm. No timed-entry required, you can visit flexibly within opening hours.
  • Start with Pena Palace: Always begin at Pena Palace since it requires a timed-entry slot. The Moorish Castle is more flexible, making it the perfect follow-up once you're done inside the palace.
  • Best time to visit: Arrive at Pena Palace when it opens, as the crowds are noticeably thinner in the first hour. By the time you reach the Moorish Castle mid-morning, tour groups are still working their way up.

  • Pena Palace to Moorish Castle walk: The Pena Palace to Moorish Castle walk takes 10 to 15 minutes downhill along a signed forest path inside the park.
  • By train: Take the Sintra Line from Lisbon's Rossio or Oriente station to Sintra Station. From there, hop on Bus 434, which stops at both the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace sequentially.
  • By car: From Lisbon, take the A37/IC19 toward Sintra. Parking near Pena Palace is limited and fills up fast in peak season. Arrive early or use the lower Sintra town car parks and take the bus up.
  • Pena Palace: The Palace store, restaurant, cafeteria, and terraces are fully accessible, with an elevator linking floors. The Palace interior visitor route is not accessible due to staircases throughout.
  • Moorish Castle: The inner castle walls route is accessible for visitors with mobility restrictions, though steep sections require traction equipment. A lifting platform provides access to the upper castle walls, giving wheelchair users the full panoramic views over Sintra.
  • Wheelchair Rental: Manual folding wheelchairs are available at both sites; a reservation is required in advance.
  • Accessible Restrooms: Accessible WC facilities are available at both Pena Palace (near the store and cafeteria) and the Moorish Castle (near the store and cafeteria inside the monument).
  • Parking: Dedicated disabled persons parking spaces are available at the entrances of both sites.
  • The façade photo spot everyone misses: For the most dramatic shot of Pena Palace's two-toned façade, walk to the Queen's Terrace viewpoint rather than shooting from the main courtyard.
  • On a clear day, look west from the ramparts: From the Moorish Castle's highest tower, you can spot the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon. It's one of the few places in Europe where you can see a 10th-century fortress with an ocean backdrop.
  • Wear proper footwear: The forest path between the two sites and the castle ramparts are cobbled, steep, and uneven. Trainers or hiking shoes are non-negotiable.
  • There's a great picnic spot nobody talks about: The park surrounding Pena Palace has shaded benches and lawn areas perfect for a mid-visit break.
  • Check the weather the morning of your visit: It can be sunny in Lisbon and completely foggy on the hilltop. A foggy Moorish Castle is atmospheric, but you'll lose those Atlantic views entirely.
