シントラカスカイス自然公園の洞窟・トップ17

It's impossible to get lost, everything is signposted and there are only 2 paths.

The path along the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) leads directly across the impressively restored battlements of the medieval fortress. Between battlements, stone steps, and narrow passages, a spectacular panorama unfolds, encompassing Sintra, Pena Palace, and the surrounding hills. An absolutely captivating section that perfectly combines history, views, and adventure.

Pena Park surrounds the palace like a vast, romantic garden filled with exotic plants, winding paths, and hidden viewpoints. Among ferns, camellias, towering trees, and tranquil ponds, a fairytale atmosphere is created that perfectly complements the palace's architecture. It's a sprawling natural and cultural experience where you can wander for hours, constantly discovering new and enchanting corners.

The view of Pena Palace and Sintra from the Castelo dos Mouros is one of the most spectacular in the entire region. Walking along the castle walls, you'll discover a landscape that blends history, architecture, and nature in perfect harmony.

The trail along the ancient walls of the Moorish Castle (Castelo dos Mouros) in Sintra is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in the region. This medieval castle, built in the 9th century by the Moors, perches on a rocky ridge in the Serra de Sintra, offering spectacular views and a complete immersion in history and nature.

The Sintra National Palace, also known as Palácio da Vila, is one of Portugal's most iconic monuments and the oldest royal palace in the country. Located in the historic center of Sintra, it is easily recognizable by its two large, white, conical chimneys, nearly 33 meters high, visible from many points in the city.

I didn't visit the Palacio National de Pene because the €20 entrance fee is tied to a time slot and you should be there about an hour before the gate opens so you don't miss your time slot. It was too stressful for me 🤔🙂 The Parque de Pene is simply stunning! I bought the entrance ticket (€12) at the Castelo, but you can also buy them separately in the entrance area on site. When you're there, you should leave the wide main paths and follow the narrow, enchanted paths to the individual highlights - the view from Cruz Alto (The Cross) is magnificent! 🤩

An ancient “forgotten” wall in the forest in the middle of a bucolic landscape: the dream!
