Expensive tickets, even more so since I am a Portuguese born citizen. It's a tourist trap, capitilizing on tourists. I dont see myself returning there.

Quick and easy purchase, no hiccups! I found it by accident while surfing the Internet. I did not know this operator , but I was pleasantly impressed, also because the advance purchase of the tickets for sao Jorge castle allowed me to avoid queues and lines at the entrance. Thank you!

It was nice that we were able to go straight through the turnstile with our tickets while there was a queue in front of the ticket counter. The area around the castle was also very beautiful and, thanks to the great weather, we had a lovely view over the city and the Tagus to the other side.
