Castelo de Lamego

We visited during Christmas time, cold but beautiful. Entrance is free and the view is nice. The castel is also a small museum with some history. Some of the features do not work very well, but it is a short and interesting visit - 100% recommended

Not much to see other than the views of the city. It's free to visit. Watch out for the dog when you try to get to the cistern - it scared the hell out of me barking like crazy 😅 cute thou

Castelo de Lamego Type: castle Time spent: 15-20 min Price: free Path for disabled: not available Parking: very small Bike parking: can be left within the castle The castle was built in the 13th century. A small village was turned into a city during the period of the Roman Empire, but the first military walls were built during the medieval times. Surrounded by agriculture and villages Lamego was the second city by its importance (after Porto) located close to the river Douro. Most of the medieval walls were demolished up to the 20th century. But the main part of the castle, at the same time, was reconstructed.

Access to castle is free, it is a very nice view point to look at the city below (another way to get the good view of city is to visit the Lamego Sanctuary). There is a short 15 mins walk up from city center to the castle. Besides the castle itself be sure to visit cisterns premises, they are nicely restored and add to the experience. You can climb tower stairs, but outside exit to walls was not open at the time of my visit. Views from castle courtyard in all directions are beautiful and unobstructed.

Amazing place to visit! Heaven on earth, cold water, many pools and little waterfalls, we came on a hot day and could stay there all day! There is also a nice bar with cold and hot drinks, A must stop in my opinion..

The entrance is free, the view is decent, the area is still inhabited which is amazing.

Free. Not to much to see. Beautiful overlook of the city below. Also visit the museum.

Long steep climb to get there but the views were amazing.
