Castelo de São Jorge is an absolutely beautiful and historic castle that offers some of the most breathtaking views of Lisbon. Walking along the ancient castle walls and exploring its rich history was an unforgettable experience. The views of the red rooftops, Alfama, and the Tagus River are simply spectacular. We loved all the peacocks that roam the castle as well! A perfect place to take photos, learn about Portugal’s history, and enjoy the beauty of Lisbon. Highly recommend visiting this incredible landmark — definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Portugal!

Easy to buy tickets and find entrance! We absolutely loved visiting São Jorge Castle! The views over Lisbon were incredible and honestly worth the visit alone. We had so much fun walking around the castle walls, exploring the different areas, and taking in all of the history. It was one of those places that really made us feel like we were experiencing Lisbon rather than just sightseeing. Such a beautiful spot and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

The journey, by land and sea. Fá Fá’s personality—he’s an excellent entertainer. Very affable, very friendly, and very creative. He managed to get everyone involved, proving he’s the ideal person for this role. Thank you to everyone, and congratulations to the team. I’ll be back.

The HIPPO Trip tour was amazing in Lisbon. Highly recommended and easy to book yourself via the Headout website. The transition from land to water was spectacular, what an experience! Especially if you have a super active tour guide. Simply amazing.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. He was also patient as we experienced the market for the first time with its fabulous architecture and luscious fruits and finds. Highly recommend it!

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.
