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.

The castle was very nice. It had some great views. Ticket redemption process was not as smooth as it should have been. There were others having the same issues. Tickets were not coming up. On our devices. When they did only one ticket would show and the others did not show. Had to use the email to redeem the tickets. Staff at the location was not helpful. It was a very nice experience once we got in.

Beautiful views- tickets very easy to purchase - However- did not like the audio download with the qr code. It drained my battery on my phone plus- it was confusing to follow - would have been better to number the places of interest to correspond with the photo number. Prefer the head phone audio sets you get at other venues

    This is a great castle- large in scale, and one that you can walk everywhere. You can truly imagine being in a siege of the castle. The audio guide is actually interesting! Great tour

    We enjoyed our visit!! Incredible views of the city! Lots to see! Only drawback for me was that I paid an extra 3 euros per person for the audio guide and it was not worth it. You can use the free one on the grounds. But I definitely recommend visiting if you are in Lisbon!
