Review of Castelo de São Jorge Castelo de São Jorge in Lisbon is definitely worth a visit. The castle is perched atop a hill and offers a stunning view of the city, the Tagus River, and the surrounding neighborhoods. The ancient walls and towers give you a good sense of Lisbon’s history. It’s fun to walk around and explore different parts of the castle. I found the view from the castle walls particularly impressive. It can get crowded, and the admission fee isn’t cheap. Still, I think it’s a beautiful attraction that you should definitely include in your visit to Lisbon. I give the castle 4 out of 5 stars.

It was super entertaining, the comments from the guide were perfectly timed and light enough for the children not to get bored. The constant swapping from Portuguese to English gave you time to both listen and enjoy the views. If you don't know Lisbon it's a very good first approach, you can then explore the city afterwards and it will feel a bit more familiar. The views from the river are amazing. The guide and driver were super fun and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Discover Lisbon by road, river, and hilltop in one plan, combining a 90-minute Hippotrip amphibious loop with entry to São Jorge Castle overlooking the city.

Join a 90-minute non-stop amphibious sightseeing tour, with live commentary in English and Portuguese as you roll through the city and sail the Tagus River.

Visit São Jorge Castle on Lisbon’s highest hill, walk the medieval walls and towers, and enjoy panoramic views over the historic center and the Tagus River.

Keep things simple with one combo! Secure your Hippotrip slot and castle entry together instead of managing separate bookings and timings.

Ideal for first-time visitors who want a clear overview of Lisbon’s neighborhoods from the river and a classic castle visit in the same itinerary.

We went as a family of 4 and entry was straightforward with no issues. Was not too busy and was easy to get around without feeling rushed. Great views and interesting history would recommend the visit.

I loved the journey by land and sea, but above all, the duo of Flávio and Fáfa... Their sense of humor and infectious joy were fantastic. Fáfa has an incredible gift for communication.
