- Laura PMay 2, 2016Amazing views from the moment you cross the gate. Go at 4 when it's getting quieter and before you leave have a glass of wine from the wine with a view truck, sit on the wall and appreciate the view
- GiacsonNovember 12, 2016One of the highlights point in Lisbon with panoramic view over the city. You can visit also the castle and admire the sunset with a glass of wine. 8,50€ entrance is too much for what you actually seeUpvoted Mar 18
- Ana Rosa MelloAugust 2, 2016It's a "must visit" historic site in Lisbon. The view from the city is great and there are plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby that you can go to after
- Janice ChowOctober 8, 2017The entrance is quite a rip off but definitely worth the view! Highly recommend to get a glass of wine sipping while enjoying the red rooftops view. The castle itself is boring
- Fatima Al HashimiDecember 20, 2016Obligatory visit for best views of Lisbon. Make sure you visit the museum before you tread the castle, and get transported into a different era.
- LivaNovember 18, 2017It’s a little bit of a hike so heads up to those with walking disabilities. I went with an elderly person so we took our time. The vista over Lisbon is beautiful. Go see the archeological part.
- Volokitin's FamilyApril 15, 2018You should go there in comfortable shoes) a lot of stairs and stones. And after the Castle you can eat a pastel de nata. You would not be fat, never))
- Pavel ZubarevAugust 26, 2014That's just marvelous, these castle walls you can see while Lisbon from, the green landscapes on the top make you feel refreshed any time being there. Must see for any crazy history lover like me!
- Petra RosanicsMay 27, 2020i was a bot sceptic about the paying part of the castle district but i totally worth it! beautiful view of Alfama, Bairro Alto and the bridge, jungle-like gardens and medieval walls.
- Ana BMay 6, 2017Stunning views across the city, the 6 peacocks perching in the trees were a nice addition. Go early or late as for most of the day it is absolutely crawling with people, which can be very stressful
- Jeanette MaylandApril 21, 2019Entrance: 10 Euros for an adult. For that you get the castle, an archeological site, a museum, a garden (worh peacocks!), and an amazing view of Lisbon
- 🏇 Lulu 🏇 .January 19, 2016Great view of Lisbon, if you're a student you get a discount on your admission fee, I especially loved the old cannons and the water well. Try to come early in the morning for a breathtaking view ✨
- Otel.comDecember 13, 2011The beautiful Saint George Castle is where you'll get a glimpse of Lisbon's history as well as get amazing views of the city and the Tagus River. Pay close attention to the amazing Ogival House.
- Mircea ScarlatescuSeptember 12, 2013Worth for the Lisbon view, take the walk option to get to it, trams are quite crowded. A nice (but pricey restaurant inside, some good Nata coffee shop next to the castle entrance)
- BivitriMarch 18, 2017Beautiful and peaceful place with great views but overpriced entrance at 8.5€ per person. Great for sunset watching
- Devon BAugust 17, 2017This is a really nice place to casually stroll and take in the views. Go early or late - best enjoyed when not amongst crowds. Camera obscura is worth checking out too!
- Travel + LeisureSeptember 27, 2013This impressive 10th-century crenellated castle and citadel where Celts, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors successively held sway has knockout views of the Alfama.
- Dr.Reham GaryApril 24, 2018Vey nice place , you must visit it , panoramic view of Lisbon , loved ur so much 💕
- Zeynep Ozturk OzyerMay 27, 2018Take your the most comfortable shoes and start to hike around this great panaromic view.
- Michael HoldsworthJuly 4, 2015Fantastic views across Lisbon. The gardens are very scenic and the peacocks were a nice surprise. Worth the walk up the hill from town, too, if you can manage it.
- Martin EderSeptember 3, 2015Wonderful views across the city, but I was missing any sort of historic feeling when I wandered through 20th century concrete reconstructions of what used to be the historic birthplace of Lisbon.
- Jonney RichyJune 16, 2014Come here at half 9 when It opens if your a photographer and want to take clean shots without many tourists around. B careful walking along the edge of the castle as you can fall off !
- Giorgio CiminoAugust 9, 2013Really a great place! Beautiful views over all the city, even if you have to "hike" up to the towers of this castle. Entrance price reduced for students under 25 years. Free wifi.
- Monica CullenSeptember 20, 2019We did the blue ticket skip the line but at the 16 euro package. The views are great but if you want to know about the castle go on a tour because there are no informational pieces throughout.
- George OrlovSeptember 7, 2013Nice place to hang out for a long time. Half a day? Easy! Peacock families walking around people, parrots (go to archeological area), cats relaxing under bushes, and castle on its own
- Tony XerriSeptember 2, 2014It's a castle. You go in castle because it's high. You go high because it's good pictures. It's good pictures because your friends be jealous. Duh.
- TingApril 21, 2013One of the most beautiful castles ive been too. The grounds are large enough that it does not feel crowded. Note: periscope closes at 5pm so be sure get in before then.
- Jonathan LevySeptember 8, 2022Best view in the city, go there early if you wanna avoid massive lines and crowds (even if you already have your pass).
- Bianca PericoloJune 22, 2013Just the view of Lisbon would be enough but it's also great to walk around the castle and explore it! It's better to go early in the morning to miss the crowd of tourists!
- Rafael MarinDecember 28, 2016Astonishing castle. You can visit both the tower and the ruins dating from the Roman empire. Beautiful views of Lisbon.
- Andrzej NowosielskiSeptember 10, 2019Calm and cool in the heat. A tranquil place to wander out of the bustle of Lisbon. Stunning views. Cafe, loos and no pick pockets!
- Serene RajkarnikarJune 28, 2013Splendid view of the city of Lisbon. You can climb up the walls of the castle, look around the grounds and visit the on-site Archeological museum. The entry prices (June 2013) were a decent €7.50.
- Sarah amzDecember 22, 2021Beautiful garden and view of the city. Don’t miss the peacocks around the garden.
- Jenya SJune 24, 2017Beatiful views from the park and the ramparts. Plenty of space to relax in the shade.
- David BernalMay 26, 2017Amazing views over Lisbon city and the Tajo river. The castle is empty. You can only visit the walls and gardens
- Karyn @konorth OFebruary 10, 2014The stair climb is work the effort as it allows one to walk the total perimeter of the upper walls. The views from the top are inspiring!
- Buford BarnesJune 19, 2012Earliest Lisbon settlements here in 6th cen. BCE; oldest castle remains from the Moorish era. Captured from Moors by A. Henriques in 1147. Royal residence until 1511. See views and historical tours!
