Which Lisbon Castle Should You Go For?

A fortress above the city

Ancient ruins in the hills

Good to Know Before You Go

São Jorge Castle sits in central Lisbon, while the Moorish Castle is in Sintra - about 40 minutes away by train, so plan for travel time if visiting both.

Both sites involve steep, uneven stone paths - sturdy, closed-toe shoes are recommended.

The São Jorge ticket includes a live guided tour, while the Moorish Castle ticket is self-guided with an optional audio guide.
