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.

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.

Buying tickets ahead of time was the best thing we could've done! We skipped the queue for tickets and headed straight into the castle, which was excellent. The castle itself was amazing, we had so much fun. Between the views and the peacocks we had a great time. I would suggest that everyone visits the castle if they're in Lisbon. We spent around 1hr 30 here and had a good look around and explored.

The line was a bit long when we arrived, so having tickets ahead of time was perfect. Scanning it was a bit difficult, so the worker helped and it worked. I would suggest going on a day that isn't super windy, we had to since it was our last chance to go. The views were beautiful and there were a lot of peacocks, which was a pleasant surprise!

Amazing views of Lisbon from within the castle grounds. The peacocks were a beautiful sight. We loved being able to go at our own pace and enjoy all the history. It is a must see if you are traveling to Lisbon.

The castle has a beautiful view. We walked around the lower part, which consists of several cloisters and the wall above. The stairs can be a bit challenging for those who are not very mobile.
    • 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.

    That was such a unique experience. The views from the Bell Tower were superb. And also sipping a drink while viewing all of Lisbon was a great touch.

    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!
