Begin your São Jorge Castle visit with context, then explore freely. After a short historical introduction outside, you will enter with priority admission to the ramparts, exhibition and Tagus viewpoints.
Full description
A representative meets you outside São Jorge Castle for an introduction of about fifteen minutes before you enter with priority admission. After that, you explore the medieval complex, its permanent exhibition and the viewpoints over Lisbon and the Tagus on your own.
Guiding does not continue through the whole visit, so the format suits travellers who want historical context at the start and freedom inside. Reviewers said the explanations linked the castle's remains to the development of Lisbon and Portugal.
One warned that the site is difficult for people using standard wheelchairs.
