Things to do in Castelo de São Jorge
The Castelo de São Jorge, also known as the Lisbon Castle, looms over the city of Lisbon with its monumental construction from the 12th-14th centuries. Discover the two distinct parts of the castle - the older Moorish Castle and the newer Royal Palace. Much of the palace was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon, but thanks to a restoration project in the 1920's, the palace remains close to its original construction today. The Castelo de São Jorge is the most populated tourist attraction in Lisbon, so we recommend booking tickets ahead of time to skip the long entrance lines, especially during the summer months. For fewer crowds, consider visiting in the morning hours.

Reviews Castelo de São Jorge
“Plattegrond waarop welke buslijnen alleen in bushokjes te vinden. Hetzelfde geldt voor metro. Je dient dus zelf on-line te kijken op hun website. Tram 28 een aanfluiting bij begin punt, lange wachtrij er worden maar 20 passagiers meegenomen anders kan men onderweg geen passagier bij volgende halte meenemen. Dat je eventueel naar de volgende halte kunt lopen waar geen wachtrijen staan wordt nergens vermeld. Trein naar Sintra perfect geregeld.w”
“The card was extremely convenient, would recommend”
