The castle is a great place to visit with it's structure, history and view of Lisbon. Everything is well marked. I highly recommend a visit.

It's an amazing medieval castle on top of a mountain in Sintra, Portugal work views of the fairytale-esque Pena Palace and the entire southern coastline of the country.
Amazing can't even describe it!

The views of Lisbon from the castle made it worth the ticket. Be prepared for walking over uneven cobblestone and steps though.

The views from the castle were amazing. Would absolutely love to go again on a day with better weather to see the sunset.

The attraction was lovely, well worth the visit. Suggest people take transport to there as the steps through the City were arduous!!
Unfortunately the ticket office staff were on strike so the only option was online booking, however, this was quite easy to do. Definitely recommend the venue.

Beautiful place, we did not wait in line. We walked up and down. The view from the castle is incredible. You can walk around quietly, without schedules.

Tickets were booked within a minute while those in line for the box office had to wait up to an hour.
Beautiful castle and view, definitely worth seeing during a visit to Lisbon.

Walking on the top of the castle walls and the patio with the trees and the view.
I am glad I bought my tickets ahead and did not need to stand in the long line

Despite the audioguide, it's not easy to get around the site. Two magnificent places, but very far apart. Suggestions for transport between the two would be most welcome. I'll definitely suggest it to others.

The purchase of the ticket was very easy and, in addition, they give you a small percentage discount for having bought another ticket before.
And the castle is wonderful, all very nice, beautiful views. And the free audio guide they offer in the castle is very good.

Beautiful restoration but you have to deserve the views and not be afraid of heights as there are many steps to go up and down... beware of young children no safety barriers

The structure and the historical part of the castle are very interesting. The view of Lisbon from the top is beautiful. However, the museum is very simple and the site doesn't offer much historical information about the castle and what happened in it.

A very pretty, well-preserved castle, with an advance ticket to avoid the short queue at the entrance (very short, nonetheless).
The castle walls are very well preserved, and you can climb to the very top of the various walls. It offers spectacular views of Sintra and other palaces.
Negative point: however, there's no "audioguide"? We asked the ticket inspector and he told us there was no audioguide here! There's not enough information about the castle when you visit it on site.

Ticketing was easy and enabled us to not have to wait in a queue to visit.
Great views of the city.
Don't both to eat at the cafe inside, the views are good, but the service is poor.

It is an impressive wall, but it requires an physical effort to see all of it. It reminds me the wall from the Game of the thrones. Nice forest as well

São Jorge Castle is amazing, well preserved and with an astonishing panoramic view of Lisbon.
Visiting all of it will require almost 2 hours, so take your time and enjoy being inside an ancient Castle!
Walk through its arches and upstairs its towers or just refresh under secular trees.
Don't miss the chance of trying "Camera Obscura", guides are knowledgeable and speak both portuguese and english.
Suitable also for families with young children and stroller.

One of my favourite experiences in Europe, Sintra as a whole and the attractions were beautiful and a perfect day trip from Lisbon! Beautiful views of Pena Palace from Moorish Castle

Really simple website to use, made our experience really great as we then didn't have to queue up in the sun and could go straight in. Had a great time at the actual castle, it's beautiful and definitely worth the visit.
