Sintra Moorish Castle Skip-the-Line Entry Ticket

If you go to Sintra,
Don't miss Moore Castle

If you are planning to visit Sintra, a city near Lisbon, I recommend visiting the Moorish Castle. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, it is a popular attraction visited by more than 500,000 travelers every year due to its long history and wonderful views of Portugal. The process of climbing along the approximately 2 km long castle wall may be difficult, but the open panoramic view from the Moorish Castle is truly fantastic! It doesn't end here. The harmony between the fortress wall and nature that can be seen while climbing along the fortress wall is also truly wonderful. There are many great photo spots all over the place, so why not take your time and take some photos while going up to the castle?
