High-up view over landscape near cities of Sintra and Lisbon after lots of climbing but even doable for my, aged 76.
摩尔人城堡的点评
点评：We found a parking spot near Castelo dos Mouros and Pena Palace, both near the city of Sintra, away from the overcrowded city of Lisbon. When approaching the Pena Palace, we saw a long queue with tourists. With our Lisbon card, we were allowed to skip the queue via a bypass. But that did not help much: time slots were issued for about two hours later. After some deliberation we decided to avoid this and to change our destination. We should have planned this ahead by arriving much earlier, or having booked online in advance. The website hints that early in the morning or late afternoon are the best times to visit the Palace.
Instead, we went to the nearby Castelo dos Mouros (Moorish Castle), without a waiting queue when we were there. The Lisbon card allowed no free access but granted 20% discount, so we paid €20.40 for 2 persons. The tickets we got contained a QR-code for downloading an audio tour, which I used barely as the spoken explanations were rather long. I still used it from time to time to read the associated text, and skip the talking. Given that there are lots of stairs, slopes and uneven pavement to cope with, there is little opportunity to use the audio tour (text or sound) proficiently, while walking and climbing takes all of your attention.
It is not an easy climb. No hand rails or something of the kind. I succeeded nevertheless despite my age (76) and related imperfect walking abilities, using everything withing reach I could get my hands on to support my climbing. Luckily, the number of other visitors was limited. I don't want to think of repeating this exercise at times when really busy. I did not reach the top, but came far beyond halfway, leaving myself very proud of my achievements.
Indeed, it takes some effort, an euphemism for sure, but eventually the view higher-up is spectacular. Looking down on villages below, very far below, one can easily feel insurmountable in this very old (8th or 9th century) fortress. It served not only as a watch tower but was also specifically designed to protect Lisbon and its surroundings.

翻译：我们在摩尔人城堡和佩纳宫附近找到了一个停车位，这两处都靠近辛特拉市，远离拥挤的里斯本市。当我们接近佩纳宫时，我们看到了长长的游客队伍。凭借里斯本卡，我们可以通过绕行路线跳过排队。但这并没有多大帮助：时间段被推迟了大约两个小时。经过一番深思熟虑，我们决定避免这种情况并改变目的地。我们应该提前计划，早点到达，或者提前在线预订。网站暗示，清晨或傍晚是参观宫殿的最佳时间。
相反，我们去了附近的摩尔人城堡，在那里没有排队。里斯本卡不允许免费进入，但提供 20% 的折扣，所以我们为 2 人支付了 20.40 欧元。我们拿到的票上有一个下载语音导览的二维码，我几乎没有用到，因为语音解说相当长。我仍然会时不时地使用它来阅读相关文本，而不再说话。鉴于有很多楼梯、斜坡和不平坦的路面需要应付，几乎没有机会熟练地使用音频导览（文本或声音），而步行和攀爬需要你所有的注意力。
这不是一次轻松的攀登。没有扶手或类似的东西。尽管我年事已高（76 岁），行走能力也不完美，我还是成功了，利用我能接触到的一切来支撑我的攀登。幸运的是，其他游客的数量有限。我不想在非常繁忙的时候重复这种练习。我没有到达山顶，但已经远远超过了一半，我为自己的成就感到非常自豪。
确实，这需要一些努力，当然这是一种委婉的说法，但最终高处的景色是壮观的。俯瞰下面的村庄，在很远的地方，人们很容易感觉到这座非常古老的（8 世纪或 9 世纪）堡垒是不可逾越的。它不仅用作瞭望塔，而且还专门用于保护里斯本及其周边地区。
