It was a beautiful day! We bought our tickets in an Uber. When we got to the Castle, there was a long queue to buy a ticket and we went straight in! It was great!!!!

Due to a ticket taker strike it took a few minutesto find an online ticket portal, however after we had ourtickets the staff guided us in and we had a wonderful time exploring the castle.
Easy online ticket purchase process, incredible views of Lisbon! Tidy area with lots of stunning photo opportunities in such a historic site.
Totally worth it. Was told that it wasn't worth it but turned out to be great. Spent an hour. Great views. Definitely a workout to move around and go up and down stairs.
Got to skip the line. Castle smaller than exorcist but lots too see.
Definitely a must if you are on vacation in Lisbon. It's worth a visit, the view is breathtaking.

I was amazed by the views of Lisbon and the Peacocks!

All of it was beautiful-views, history, etc
Beautiful castle! Enjoyed the views, peacocks & history!
Nice castle. To buy tickets in advance is a must
Great views and many peackocks!
The views from the castle walls alone made the trip really worthwhile! The castle I felt needed more signage but I enjoyed the atmosphere and especially information about the archeology and, of course, the Museum. The peacock babies were a delight to see.
Easy to buy tickets online. Avoid queues at the castle entrance. Impressive dimensions. Too bad there's nothing left of the buildings inside.

The camera obscura was not impressive at all, the guide was talkimg so quickly and we were not able to catch up or see anything, even though it was sunny
It is not possible to book a ticket for children under 13 on the Headout site, as entry is free. You have to print the ticket at the entrance desk! It would be better to book right on the Headout site!

The Castle was excellent, as were the views. I was surprised about how little literature was provided to give the visitor historical context. I understand there are guided tours, but there should still be written information. The Castle is a museum, and I fear most will visit and learn nothing of its history.
Beautiful place with singing peackoks and fascinating views. Toilet was awful - if you charge 20€/ticket visitors should have a decent toilet - clean and tidy, with doors that locks
The Castle is amazing ..... definitely worth the admission price! Great views and the history of the castle is extremely interesting Head out definitely speeded up our admissions Very user friendly
All ok! There was a huge queue to buy tickets at the box office, so I bought them online right at the door! It's a little more expensive, but it was worth it just to avoid wasting an hour in line!

The incredible view all across Lisbon. The fact I walked up to the gates infront of a very ;ong queue of people and just bought my ticket from the QR code on my phone and went stight through the turn stiles. No waiting, no queing.
The whole tour itself included a very interesting dance performance, the costumes, the steps and the music. The view is really the best in Lisbon, the museum is very good and the peacocks are a surprise gift in themselves

Attraction was fascinating. It would have been nice to know, in advance, that we would not have to stand in line in the queue. We waited 1/2 hour before a passing employee mentioned we could just head up to the entrance.

The arch follows a triumphal arch design, which is a classical architectural style often used to commemorate important events or individuals.
Situated at the northern end of Rua Augusta, one of Lisbon's main pedestrian streets, the arch serves as a central landmark connecting two major squares, Praça do Comércio and Praça do Rossio.
The arch is adorned with intricate sculptures and statues. Notable sculptures include the central statue of Glory and the depictions of historical figures such as Vasco da Gama and Nuno Álvares Pereira.
The arch symbolizes the rebuilding of Lisbon after the devastating 1755 earthquake, highlighting the city's resilience and recovery. The various allegorical figures and historical personalities on the arch contribute to its symbolic significance.
One of the main highlights is the opportunity to climb to the top of the arch and access the observation deck. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the surrounding areas.
Opening time: Daily, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
