I absolutely loved my experience at Castelo de São Jorge! The views were breathtaking, the atmosphere was incredible, and exploring the castle felt like stepping back in time. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lisbon!

I had high hopes for São Jorge Castle—and it did not disappoint. The views alone are worth the visit. Perched high above the city, the castle offers stunning panoramic views of Lisbon's red-tiled rooftops, the Tagus River, and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge. It’s the perfect spot for photos, especially around sunset! The castle itself is rich in history and has a bit of a rugged charm—lots of ancient stone walls, towers you can climb, and hidden corners to explore. It feels authentic, not overly restored, which I appreciated. You can really imagine what it might have been like centuries ago. There’s also a peaceful garden area with peacocks roaming around, which was a fun surprise! If you're into history, there’s a small museum and some archaeological ruins onsite as well. All in all, a fantastic mix of history, views, and atmosphere.
Combine two unique panoramic views of Lisbon with one cost-saving ticket.
Rua Augusta Arch
The Rua Augusta Arch, which can be seen on the busy Praça do Comércio square, is a symbolic structure in Portugal's capital city. The earthquake that leveled the city in 1755 served as motivation for its growth in the 19th century, representing the city's will to rise again from the ashes of the disaster it endured. A monumental gateway built in the neoclassical style, it has a statue of the goddess of victory, winged figures, and reliefs depicting scenes from the city's reconstruction. Pass under the arch and take in the sights of Praça do Comércio and the city below. This spot provides a perfect backdrop to photograph the city and river.
St. George’s Castle
The impacts of the Visigoths and the Moors can still be seen today on Lisbon’s highest hill. St. George's Castle was named after England's patron saint more than two centuries after it was built, following the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373. Interactive touch screens inside explain the background of the region around the castle hill. With its thick walls and terraces covered by pine trees, this castle has become the city's most distinctive sight.
There are a total of ten towers, and you can climb them all! Moorish antiquities like coins, pottery, and tiles were discovered during excavations in the region around the castle and are currently on display there. Peacocks, which can be found in the gardens surrounding the towers, never fail to amaze visitors with their brilliant plumage.
