We purchased tickets the day of to avoid long lines. Our online tickets were ready in approximately 45 minutes. It was perfect timing as we had time for a bite to eat. We bypassed the long line to purchase tickets at the gates and entered immediately to the castle.

The cloisters were a real delight, the ancient walls, a breathtaking sight. The little peacocks, sweet as pie, the big ones loud beneath the sky. The views knocked every breath away, from castle towers and Camera's display. All in all, it made our day!

Beautiful place to visit; the views were stunning and the castle remains are impressive. There is lots to see with peacocks also roaming freely around the castle grounds. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Loved the castle sad that there was not more information about it would have loved to buy a book about the history of Catele de Sao Jorge. I enjoyed the peacocks and all the olive trees.

We enjoyes the ability to walk the entire perimeter of the fortifications. Also, the museum, although small, was very well supplied with descriptions of the irems in the display cases.

The inside of the castle is empty; I was expecting a castle that still had its original decor and at least one furnished room, but it doesn't. The views are spectacular. You can climb the stairs and walk all the way around the castle. Next to it, you can visit the ruins of some of the houses in the village surrounding the castle.

Discover Lisbon by road, river, and hilltop in one plan, combining a 90-minute Hippotrip amphibious loop with entry to São Jorge Castle overlooking the city.

Join a 90-minute non-stop amphibious sightseeing tour, with live commentary in English and Portuguese as you roll through the city and sail the Tagus River.

Visit São Jorge Castle on Lisbon’s highest hill, walk the medieval walls and towers, and enjoy panoramic views over the historic center and the Tagus River.

Keep things simple with one combo! Secure your Hippotrip slot and castle entry together instead of managing separate bookings and timings.

Ideal for first-time visitors who want a clear overview of Lisbon’s neighborhoods from the river and a classic castle visit in the same itinerary.

A visit to Castelo de São Jorge is well worth the hike up the hill. Definitely buy your tickets online ahead of time to avoid the line. The castle is fun to walk on and around and the views are amazing. It is also nice to be able to buy food and drink while you are there. I would highly recommend this outing.
