Castelo São Jorge, or St George Castle, is one of the most emblematic monuments of the city of Lisbon. It was rebuilt by the first king of Portugal after his victory over the moors in 1147. It offers excellent view of the city from the top of the hill. Its various outdoor spaces such as the Terrace, Romantic Garden, Main Square and the Inner Castle, and indoor museum foyer area are available for rent as private functions after 8pm. It is most appropriate for organizing Medieval-themed events with traditional Portuguese cultural performances, and can accommodate from 400 to more than 1,000 guests.

The restaurant located within the compounds of the Castle allows diners to enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine while taking in the spectacular view of the city. The restaurant can be booked for private banquets of up to 120 or cocktails of 200 guests.

Castelo São Jorge is situated on the top of Alfama hill, the oldest part of Lisboa. Hence, the trip up the Castle can be an adventure by itself because guests would have to be taken through narrow, winding lanes by trams, buses or tuk-tuks. Trams and buses are not able to reach the Castle entrance and guests need to trek on cobbled-stone pathway uphill, which could be a hazard for older folks and ladies on stilettos. Organizers may want to work with local DMCs for transport and logistic issues when using this venue. For more information, CLICK HERE.
