Fantastic beautifully preserved castle and "lived in" town all within the castle walls. One of the best preserved I've visited, awesome views as it sits right atop the rocky hilltop. Great cafes, restaurants, a few shops and museum. Well worth a visit.

Very well conserved castle and the tickets are really cheap (1.5€), so it makes an even more satisfactory visit. Inside the castle walls you can find free toilets and small souvenir stores and local crafts stores. From the towers of the castle it is possible to observe a very large portion of the surrounding territory. Beautiful views. Worth a visit.

Must see. Very well preserved castle with many details. Possible walk around all the walls. Great view for all sides of the world. Unusual water tank.

Of all the castles in Portugal, this one has to be one of the highlights for me. The views from walking the castle walls are spectacular, given the height of the castle over the surrounding area. Just imagining what it must have been like to build this castle on such a mountainous height hundreds of years ago really makes you appreciate human ingenuity and engineering. It was also nice to see the cistern still collects some water today and hasn't been converted into some other use as is common with other castles in the country -- if it weren't for some terrible visitors throwing their junk into the water, you can actually see how clear the water remains. The small garden outside of the entrance to the castle is also quite picturesque and reminded me of the fancy gardens you see in TV shows set in medieval times.

Very well restored castle. The view from here of the village as well as the surrounding area is what to die for. The ticket costs 1.5€ and we could also take our dog with us. Marvao is arguably the most beautiful village I’ve been in Portugal. It’s absolutely picturesque and peaceful.

Amazing, amazing town and castle. Take the trouble to detour there. Park outside the wall or take the drive inside. Be warned, roads are narrow and corners are tight. Not for the feint hearted.

Definitely worth the visit. The views from here are stunning. The fee entry is just 1.50€. It is a 360° wonderful view. Highly recommended.

Nice castle to visit on a good weather day. Views are incredible and there's quite a lot to see.

a must visit place in portugal. the whole town is a nice, cozy and very atmospheric place. no people (i visited in november), and only 1,5€ for the castle to visit. and then to have a coffee with a panoramic view, cery romantic and much recommended!

Perfect view! Very shocking beauty! It takes a full half day to enjoy the view. Admire the construction techniques and abilities of the ancients!

Well restored Castle with great views and fun to explore. You can walk along top of the entire Castle perimeter walls although it's quite scary as there are no railings on the inner side. Best of all it's so peaceful. It's the highlight of my Portugal trip.

Vale a pena visitar 😍 It's beautiful, astonishing really.

Great! A must-see. One of the most impressive castles I have seen! In my humble opinion unconquerable but for treachery or hunger.

This really is a place worth a visit and explore. Some 260m of elevation afford the most stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A visit to the town cistern, still with water, is fascinating. The village was quiet when we visited mid week so no hustle and bustle. Strongly recommend.

Eine tolle Festungsanlage mit einem tollen 360° Blick über die Region, rüber ins benachbarte Frankreich. Das wahre Highlight sind allerdings die Adler die dort kreisen, misten und auf Beutezug sind und hautnah erlebt und gesehen werden können. Lohnenswert und günstig im Eintritt.

Great castle with fantastic views of the area. Unlike most other castles you can basically access every part of castle, so you can walk along the walls, walk up the towers etc. and the tickets are cheap.

Absolut sehenswert, große Burganlage, supertolle Fernsicht, kleine enge Gassen, Zeit zum ausruhen und rasten bei einer Tasse Kaffee oder im Restaurant mit gutem Preis-Leistung Verhältnis.

Beautiful views in a well preserved castle. Uniquely positioned in a sole high mountain, and can see all around atop the highest tower. Paid 1,5€ to enter, with student discount available. Only con is the lack of safety rails everywhere, as there are some spots with no support to climb, and with considerable falling danger.

One of the gems of the region that you definitely need to see. The breathtaking views make you think about the long term future as the hundreds of kilometers that you see show how big the world around us is. The perfect location if you need a place to find some peace and silence. I left this place richer than before.

I walk my dog round this castle every morning. A real privilege. The castle is so well preserved and the views are spectacular. Well worth a visit.

A wonderful place to visit. Mid-portugal "Sintra". Though, more of an place for sightseeing, overnight stay and a meal as there isn't actual village center life going on.

Very well preserved Castle will real in life in the village. The museum is small but nice and the castle is worth to go around the up and downs clear view around the land... All 360

Beautiful castle and very well-reserved! We love the cistern a lot. You can sing a song there and enjoy the echo.
