The last permitted entry is earlier than the gate closing time on some days; check official schedules so you don’t miss the final access window.
Early morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer visitors. Sunset is spectacular but correspondingly busier.
Advance booking is advised for weekends and summer months; consider an early slot to enjoy quiet ramparts.
Occasionally, local cultural initiatives offer reduced or free access; check Lisbon municipal announcements for special dates.
