The castle was very interesting and we enjoyed the beautiful views. The free audio guide was informative and entertaining. We would recommend buying tickets in advance and also beating the queues by going in the morning around 9:30am as it was quiet then and we were able to walk straight through the entry gates. When we left at 11AM it was getting busy and the queues were very long.

It's great! A must-do in Lisbon! Very pretty castle with magnificent views and a superb history! Audioguides are free on site, so there's no point in ordering them online! Better to go when it opens to avoid the crowds.

Visiting the São Jorge Castle was a great history lesson about Portugal. The castle, situated high atop the hill, provides an amazing vantage point of the city of Lisboa. Purchasing our tickets via Headout allowed us to skip the long ticket queue at the castle entrance. However, we purchased the option that came with the audio guide (€23) and the audio guide is actually free for all via a QR code available upon entering through the turnstiles, so we could have saved €6. Headout, should update this option so others are not frustrated.

Enjoy breathtaking views of Lisbon and the surrounding areas from the St. George Castle vantage points.

Explore the archaeological site within the castle grounds, which includes remnants of earlier civilizations, such as Roman and Moorish structures.

Benefit from a downloadable audio guide at the historical monument, immersing yourself in rich history and fascinating facts through headphones.

Explore the best of Lisbon by upgrading your tickets to include entry to the Belém Tower or a self-guided walking tour of Lisbon.

Fun fact: Despite suffering damage in the devastating Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, the castle endured and was later restored to its former glory.

It's cheeky to sell an audio guide separately when the audio guide is declared as free at the venue. In other words, you charge more for what you would have had anyway
