Family ticket cost 5 Euro. Great views of Lisbon and great to stay and relax for a couple of hours. I suggest to walk down through Alfama. It's a good workout. more

I read reviews and thought that there would be tons of cats and their caretaker...I also thought this was free. However they must have renovated it because it now costs 5 Euros a person, I only saw 3 stray cats and no cat caretaker at all. The views of the city are good, but other than that there isn't much... more

Yes, most castles are just like another but you come here for the view over Lisbon! We took the Tram 28, got off at the cathedral stop in Alfama & walked up. The view from here gives you a good perspective of the city. On our walk down we spent more time in Alfama before returning on Tram 28 to... more

The castle is not very close to a metro stop. The hike there would have been easy had it not been at some steep inclines. I was so happy we went in the later afternoon, so it was not so hot. The castle itself offers amazing views of the city and great pictures. There was a man playing guitar in... more

It's true there isn't much to do, but the views are very beautiful and this is especially relaxing and a great place to meditate and chill out. Lisbon is known for their pasteis de nata (custard cups). I had some of my best at the castle. It's worth trying one! Just one tip: Parking is not easy to find. We... more

I don't know why some people are complaining. It's a medieval castle, obviously there isn't going to be much to see of the castle itself in terms of decorations or furnishings!! It's a castle, not a palace... there's a difference. I loved the history and the spectacular view of Lisbon, it's breathtaking! Looking at those olive trees around the castle... more

There is little to actually see in the castle, but the views and possible photo opportunities of the city are unparalleled. You can walk all the walls and climb the towers, with nary a guardrail in sight - which makes it a lot of fun for castle-lovers. Non-castle buffs can stroll the lower levels but there isn't a lot to... more

My partner and I stayed at Castelo de Sao Jorge for 3 nights in July 2007. We booked it through Tablet hotels and having used the website before to book many other great hotels was expecting this to be pretty good. The staff were lovely and freindly and went out of their way to suggest local acitivites and good nearby... more

I wish I had read the reviews here in advance. This castle is a ripoff. Its only value is the view, and like others have said, you can get great views from other locations for free. Example, go to the top of the VIP Eden hotel! In addition, the day we visited there, the winds were outrageous and we were... more
