Castle of Penedono

Very cool medieval castle open to the public for free. No tickets needed. On nice days it’s likely to be busy. Parking is a challenge. Climb the ramparts and the view is stunning, careful on windy days though.

Medieval village & castle that is now a ghost village within the castle walls... tickets for entry (€1.50) from tourist information office next door. The lady will then open the gate for you to go in & explore. Well worth a visit if you are anywhere near...

Gorgeous little castle to stop by if you're on your way there. Unlike most castle in Portugal, this one has a rail!! You can actually climb up while holding on to something!! Still scary but not a complete risk.

We really enjoyed our stay here to celebrate our wedding anniversary just the 2 of us. The hosts tried to make really the best of it with a smile and at a very reasonable price. Thank you so much.

Wonderful place! The lady in the information room was very attentive and helpful. Very welcoming, the city offers roasted and hot Portuguese chestnuts in front of the castle. Very attentive, the man who roasted the chestnuts.

This town is something out of a fairytale. I loved all the touches this castle had from the outside to the inside. It is free to go in and check out, there is a boutique museum to get more information about the castle and surrounding areas. If you go to the interactive tablet you can take a photo and have it emailed to yourself, the area also has old medieval weaponry tools to view close and touch, overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!!

It is just fantastic / beautiful and very well kept.
You can visit the castle inside FREE of Charge.

If you visit the towers with kids need to be careful because there are no barriers kids or even adults may fall down
If in Penedono it is very reccomended to visit the castle

The castle was temporarily closed, but very nice on the outside still.

Free to explore. We went in the winter and we had free roam of the castle all to ourselves. Great views of the lovely town and countryside.

A free walk up the medieval castle brings a nice view around the village and it's cathedrals.

This place has had the stone cleaned and looks fabulous. Not for kids to explore the higher areas and only for adults with a head for heights.

Yes, it was closed when we went, but it is still such a cool castle to look at it. We parked very close to the castle and walked around the old town. The siege craft out front also really set the stage. It's definitely worth a few pictures and a stop if you're in the area.

This castle is amazing place to visit

Beautiful and well preserved Castle.

Looks like new. Magnificent restauration

Really amazing castle. Looks gorgeous from the outside. Plenty to see inside. The twin is also really cute and absolutely worth the visit, if only you walk around it. You should absolutely visit it if you get a chance.

Amazing place. Stayed in the hotel across the castle

The village is very well kept and does have a medieval felling that makes the castle stand out more. The castle is well kept and is a very nice place to visit.

Small but very nice castle. Do stop if you are in the area...worth the time!
