A very pleasant morning visit to this beautiful town housed within the Monsaraz Castle. Picturesque photos all over. Not spectacular but such a comfortable vibe to walk around for a good half an hour

You are allowed to walk throughout the castle and walls. Stunning views of the lakes. Lot of parking.

I loved the view. This castle has 4 towers and each of them has a different view. The town and the sea were my favorite. I was a bit scare of the stairs tho so I hope they change them. We were the only visitors there so we managed to take many photos. Actually the whole town was amazing. There are human sized figures everywhere that symbolize the history of this town. It's 2:30 hours away from Lisbon but it's free to visit. You will find restaurants and cafe there but make sure to check their working hours online first.

Free entry to the castle grounds and walking about the structure is mostly unrestricted, which lets you get a better feel of the castle building and what it would've been like in the past. The actual inside building in the main tower was blocked off although it didn't take away much from the entire experience. Amazing views from all sides of the castle. Small description board at the entrance is all you get in the way of information, although the view is likely what people are most interested in.

Very high up on the mountain is this nice castle that we went to. A lot of it is sightseeing, but you really get to see all of the old buildings and etc. It seems like they were fixing things up or remodeling things, which is a good thing. Otherwise, there's not much else to do but as always very cool!

Wer in Nähe ist, muss hier mal gewesen sein. Es ist ein lebendiges Museum in den man viel entdecken kann. Es ist nicht so reglementiert und steril. Man kann überall hin klettern und hat einen tollen Blick aus verschiedenen Perspektiven. Lebendig auch deswegen, weil es allerhand Tavernen gibt. Tipp: festes Schuhe

After seeing Marvao castle just a few days earlier I was a little disappointed. The views from the castle are fantastic, but the castle itself has been transformed into a bull fighting ring and it is not very big, there is not much to see. I enjoyed walking around the town more than visiting the castle.

An attractive small whitewashed town with an information centre just inside the gates. Plenty of small carparks up at the town level so you don't have to climb the hill in the heat. A free castle at the end of the village where the centre was converted into a bull ring many years ago. You need to take care on some of the walls but not too bad as there are also metal steps.

Simple castle with free access with a stunning view on Monsaraz and the surrounding area, dominant the lake. Be careful because some passages and stairs are not secured and very safe.

Stunning views, friendly people, tiny cobbled streets to wander through, free parking in carparks along the way

Absolutely fascinating place to visit, so much history and such fantastic views of Alqueva Dam and the Alentejo country side. A must visit, entry to the castle is free, there are refreshments on site with specific opening times

The Castle and the small village inside the walls is definitely worth the visit. Amazing views! Free entrance. It’s recommended comfortable shoes.

Amazing views from atop the castle. They still have events in the arena. Don’t miss it if you are in this area. It’s free, no tickets needed.

One of the oldest villages in the whole of Portugal fabulous place to walk around and take in the fantastic views, great stopover aire for motorhomes. Nomadic Globetrotters on YouTube
