- fudxplorerKochi (Cochin), India38 contributionsReis magis fort visitAmazing fort at awesome location is one word for it. It is situated right next to the water body and plenty of parking also available. We went on a weekday hence it was not crowded at all.

- Stuti DasBengaluru, India79 contributionsJail, Fort and journey through Goa’s Freedom StruggleThe fort was converted into a jail to house the people who participated in Goa’s Freedom Movement. Now it is a museum that showcases how the people were treated, history of the movement and notable names. The view from outside is breathtaking as the fort is built atop a small steep hill overlooking the sea . The climb to the Fort is a steep one so avoid wearing heels or sandals. There is a parking at the base where you can also buy entry ticket.

- ravi311Dubai, United Arab Emirates530 contributionsFort with a vantage viewYou would "feel the history" if you knew the story of the fort and got up to its watch tower. This fort feels special, especially considering the vantage view when we reach up the tower. There is a climb up some steep paths but not strenuous. The canons have serial numbers and dates. Some support platforms have broken, nevertheless, the display is significantly intact showcasing the old history. The adjacent display area talks about the history of Goa's independence.Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 30 November 2023

This beautiful Fort has been recently renovated and a classic instance of Portugese style.
A perfect place for photography with background view of Indian Ocean.

Built in 1493 and therefore much older than the famous Fort Aguada, Reis Magos is a must-see for history buffs.

The entry ticket is ₹50 for adults & there is a steep climbing in case there are elders, might be a painful for them. The view from the fort is beautiful, with view or the sea and the coconut trees. Also, the coco beach for dolphins view is also another attraction close by to the fort.

Beautifully restored the fort is a steep climb from the parking lot. There is an entry fee and dedicated parking. The climb is totally worth it with stunning views and an elegant fort, which form beautiful backdrop to pictures. It has many quirks like the hot oil pouring on enemy area, solitary confinement cell etc.
There is a small art gallery, exhibiting paintings and cartoons by the one and only Mr. Miranda. I found it to be one of the quieter forts of Goa and much better kept that the overtly explored and exploited Aguada. It’s a short drive from Panjim and takes about an hour to see it well.
Good shoes are much advised. The moss growth on the laterite rocks in the monsoons made it really slippery, but saw may kids and elderly negotiating it well, with caution.
It has to be on the must visit list in Goa.

Is there any entry fee for the Fort??
Or any other charges like parking, camera, mobile camera etc??

Yes, there is a minimal fee for entry but nothing for parking. Two wheeler can be parked in front of the office on first come first use basis. Four wheeler I saw parking on the road side. It was not crowded when we visited. There is a charge for camera but I don't remember the charges but mobile phone with good camera will do the trick.
