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.
These tickets are valid until 14 May, 2025.
