    The queue was long waiting for tickets so i booked online and went in straight in. Loved the dancing and music as we entered of the traditional dancers and reenactment of olden times. It was a peaceful walk and excellent audio that we could listen to. Amazing views of Lisbon and definitely value for money. Also the kiosks and sit down areas added to the beauty of the castle. Maybe a sign saying you could book online might be beneficial to escape lining up.
