It was fun to go in a group of just 8, plus driver, in a people carrier. The driver was very informative, and guided us round the castle so we enjoyed the best possible views. He then took us to a port shop in the village, where the owner gave us an very interesting talk. After that we had time out, which allowed us to time for lunch as a nearby cafe, before driving back to Lisbon, again with lots of information about Portuguese history etc.

When I arrived at São Jorge Castle, there was a huge line. Since I wanted to get in quickly, I registered on the website and bought my ticket online. Within a few minutes, I received my ticket and went in without waiting in line. I thought the service was great, and it was very fast. I recommend buying tickets in advance through the website.

This is a great way to get tickets to St. George's Castle. We didn't have to wait in line, even though there was a pretty long line when we arrived. With this ticket, you just go to the left, show the code, and you're done. You walk right in.

It was super fast and easy—we picked up our tickets, and it took less than five minutes. Thanks to that, we were able to go straight to São Jorge Castle without waiting in line.

It was a wonderful experience. The castle is beautiful! Its gardens with peacocks. The view of the city. I highly recommend it. The bathroom is clean and tidy. Plus, the gift shop is really nice

We visited the Castle on a Sunday arriving at 10am. Note Ibers do not take you up to the ticket area. There is a walk uphill of about four minutes. Having a ticket benefits because when we left at noon the line was a long one down the street to buy. Tickets. Behind the walls are interesting and great views. Take time to visit the Museum inside and we were fascinated by the peacocks on the grounds. We were inside the walls for about two hours but if pressed for time , 90 Minutes will suffice. After the visit we found lunch downhill in the area that have the views and lots of tourists as well as tuck tuk tours. The weather was great which made for a wonderful day in Lisbon

Highlights:

Lisbon’s hilltop castle plus an amphibious city tour in one booking, so you cover a landmark visit and a guided sightseeing loop without planning two separate entries.

São Jorge Castle: Flexible entry to explore at your own pace

HIPPOtrip: 90-minute guided tour in an amphibious vehicle, with an English or Portuguese-speaking guide leading you across city streets and onto the Tagus River.

Additional Highlights:

Walk along São Jorge Castle’s walls and towers for views over Lisbon, including the Tagus River and the Alfama district.

Spot peacocks in the castle gardens, then switch gears to HIPPOtrip’s water entry for skyline views from the river.

We were able to easily order the tickets, but we had to wait 45 minutes to receive them. The good thing is that once purchased, they’re valid for a long time, so we were able to reschedule our visit for another day.

It was an incredible opportunity to see both sides of Lisbon: the historical one and to admire the beautiful views from one of the highest points!
