Buying tickets ahead of time was the best thing we could've done! We skipped the queue for tickets and headed straight into the castle, which was excellent. The castle itself was amazing, we had so much fun. Between the views and the peacocks we had a great time. I would suggest that everyone visits the castle if they're in Lisbon. We spent around 1hr 30 here and had a good look around and explored.

The stadium tour offers a unique experience. At 66 and 72 years old, and not big soccer fans ourselves, we wanted to treat our 21-year-old grandchildren—and we didn’t regret it. We also visited the museum, and it was well worth it. We stopped by the gift shop and left with jerseys and scarves, and we were thrilled to have found such affordable prices. Tonight our legs are sore, but we had a wonderful time.

It was magnificent. We spent over two hours there with the guide, but it went by so quickly. It's a shame we didn't get to see the players' locker rooms, only the visitors'. But it's definitely worth it. Not overly expensive and a magnificent stadium.

Loved the whole experience! The tour was amazing and our guide was great—she took the time to explain everything and showed us so many cool things. We learned a lot about the fish and other animals there, which made it even more interesting. It really gave me a new perspective on the ocean and its wildlife. Definitely recommend! 🌊🐠
