 How to see magnificent Lisbon light! Apr 11, 2009
Going up to Castelo S. Jorge is something we don't do much in Lisbon. Why? Because we live here! But from time to time, it's a great way to spend a saturday's afternoon! I recommend going for a walk in Chiado, and then take the 28 tram and go up to Alfama, and walk to the castle! Delight yourself by seeing a 360º view of Lisbon! Go up all the stairs you find, and be as high as you can! Go there with a Lisbon map and try to find streets, churches, roundabouts, gardens...Enjoy yourself!

The Castelo de Sao Jorge was quite inexpensive and well worth it. The view itself is spectacular. Walking around, you can get basically a 360-degree view of the city, and the castle is quite high up to highlight this. The grounds are beautiful, and peacocks and cats can be seen wandering around, which adds to its charm. While I was there a singer was performing, giving us some pretty background music. Finally the castle itself is very hands-on. Visitors can walk up on the ramparts for great views and postcard-worthy photos. The castle is a nice short walk from a metro stop in the main tourist area of the city. The Lisbon metro system wasn't difficult to navigate at all. I definitely reccomend it to anyone.

One of the definitive highlights of Lisbon is the city's castle (Castelo de Sao Jorge ), in the Castelo neighborhood (where else). We already had a glimpse of it from the elevator. Walk the cobbled and twisting streets upward in search for the entrance. on our way we passed the famous Se Cathedral . Not that impressive actually… Strolling around Lisbon |

At Night it was off to the Castelo de Sao Jorge, the castle overlooking all of Lisbon... As you make your way up the confusing and steep streets, which were specifically designed inorder attackers would get lost on the way to the castle, you realize the effectiveness of that plan...

Climbing to Castelo de Sao Jorge is well worth the inelegance of appearing at the gateway, panting and red-faced. The views across the city are magnificent, though we had to stop en route for a reviving mango juice at a bar which had an awesome terrace… Lisbon |
