Really liked the view from the castle! Beautiful!!! Seeing the live peacocks roaming around was a pleasant surprise. Liked that you could walk the grounds of the castle and also climb up to lookout points to take more photos at an even higher level. Also liked that I had an option to see only the outside of the castle. To see inside there was a different rate which is totally understandable. Didn't have the time to do inside and out. Will definitely do this the next time I'm back!! Highly recommend.

Sao Jorge Castle is a beautiful spot high above the city of Lisbon. You can climb the ancient crenellated walls, which frame 360 degrees of wide and lovely views. There is a musem with relics from the original Arab city of the middle ages through the city's Roman and Christian eras. The castle is surrounded by shaded gardens where peacocks wander among the olive trees and stone benches and the ships pass far below beyond the colored rooftops.

Buying tickets ahead of time was very helpful. The grounds were beautiful! I felt like I could have spent so much more time exploring and enjoying the view. Definitely something everyone should visit if they visit Lisbon for the first time. A note, it was nicer to go at the end of the day when it wasn't as crowded. The crowds certainly made some of the narrow staircases more tricky.
    • Step into the breathtaking 2,000+ year-old São Jorge Castle that towers over Lisbon’s skyline, offering views of the entire city below it.

    • Climb up a 50-step spiral staircase in the castle’s church that leads to the most spectacular views of Lisbon’s city center and the River Tagus.

    • Inside the old church lies an exhibition that houses rare artifacts and stories, bringing centuries of castle life to light.

    • Unwind with a complimentary drink—wine, cava, beer, or a soft drink—while taking in the panoramic views and reliving your favorite moments from the visit.

    To reach the entrance at the top, you need to be in very good physical condition. Nothing exceptional except for the view. Not a castle but rather ruins. The visit was too quick. The museum only has pieces of pottery on display. The archaeological center = 0 You can't see anything and there's no access. The peacocks roaming free are magnificent. But it's not worth €22...

    Very beautiful fortress worth seeing. You should go relatively early, then it's not so crowded.
