It was a lovely walk up the hill to the castle, and it's good to do in the morning before the crowds arrive and before the midday heat. Buy your tickets in advance to save time, we bought ours earlier that morning. There are great views of Lisbon from the courtyard area near the entrance, and plenty of places to sit and rest along the way. Afterwards it's convenient to be in the Alfama district, where there are many very good restaurants. Highly recommended!

The visit to Saint George's Castle offers magnificent panoramas, and its history is fascinating. I enjoyed this visit; the explanations were clear and detailed. The advantage of this format is that it allows you to retain a great deal of freedom, rather than following a defined route.

It is very easy and fast to buy the ticket 10 minutes before arriving. I recommend it, it's much nicer. The QR code at the entrance works, but the network signal is very poor. So it is not very useful.

The place is very relaxing, with a magnificent view, well-organized, and has a pleasant climate. If you love reading and have some time, treat yourself to a reading break.

I liked that there was a map of the site with the audio guides to listen to. It was easy to pause and resume, or skip to another section of the tour. Lots of relevant information. It's easy to meet up when you're in a small group and don't all visit at the same pace.
