Sixty Minutes Guided Inside São Jorge, Then the Castle Is Yours
The group meets in front of the castle reception, by the big tree, and goes in on tickets the guide has already bought.
The guided part covers the chambers, the halls and the viewpoints, with the history of each part of the site and what it was used for, the royal past, the local traditions, and the role the castle played across several centuries of the city.
It works for people who want the history explained, and for families, and for anyone who would rather not read every panel themselves.
After the guided hour the group is released, and the castle is yours for as long as you want it: the walls, the views and whatever you walked past the first time.
