The Castelo de São Jorge (or, simply, Castle of San Jorge) is a medieval Arab-style fortress located on top of a hill, in the historical centre of the city of Lisbon. From this strategic point in the capital of Portugal you can see not only a large part of the city, but also the Tagus River.
The construction that at some point was an impenetrable fortress due to its strategic location in height and which starred numerous episodes of conquest and liberation of Lisbon today is one of its most popular tourist spots. From the castle, and the hill on which it is located you can enjoy some of the best views of the city. You can also enjoy its picturesque gardens, walls, towers (especially the Tower of Ulysses, which has a 360 view degrees) and stairs inside the building. Take your camera!
It is the most visited attraction of Lisbon and, although you can not rent this huge castle to spend your stay in Portugal, you can rent one of our fully equipped and furnished apartments in the area.
