Castelo de S. Jorge

"Locals speak of Saint George's Castle as the cradle of their city, and it might have been where the Portuguese capital began." Full review

"The hilltop fortifications of Castelo de São Jorge sneak into almost every snapshot. Roam its snaking ramparts and pine-shaded courtyards for superlative views." Full review

"From the former parade ground just inside the outer wall, the view over the Tagus, the suspension bridge and the left bank is marvellous." Full review

"Certainly has a museum feel, what with its clever camera obscura offering 360-degree views of Lisbon in real time, archaeological site spanning three diverse periods, and ruins of the former palace" Full review

"Perched atop Lisbon's highest hill in Alfama, offering both excellent history and views of the city. The castle served as a fortification for the Romans, Visigoths and the Moors" Full review

"Modest medieval castle, encircled by a clutch of ancient stone houses. Little remains here – just some walls and a tower...but the views from up top are glorious." Full review
