Sure, the Lisboa Card is really convenient for public transportation, and it also makes getting into attractions easier. The price for a 1- or 2-day pass isn’t exactly a bargain, precisely because you can’t visit that many attractions in just a few days—they’re often quite far apart—and you’ll still have to wait in line, even if the lines are shorter! In March… imagine what it’s like in August!! And then if you lose it, like I did...!!! Luckily, I only went missing for half a day.

Enter the 12th-century Alcobaça Monastery with this entry ticket or a Lisbon Card to marvel at the Gothic architecture of the Alcobaça Monastery, built by the monks of the Order of Cistercians.

Visit the resting place of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro—their tombs are masterpieces of Gothic sculpture.

See the church, King’s Hall, Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence, Refectory, Kitchen Monk’s Hall, and more.

Upgrade your ticket by purchasing a Lisbon Card that provides you entry to over 39 attractions across a time period of 24, 48, or 72 hours.

It's definitely worth it—I highly recommend it to everyone. It's easy to take out and gets plenty of use throughout the day...

Unfortunately, the priority access to the Jerónimos Monastery didn't work out, since a long line had already formed in front of the monastery and everyone had a Lisboa Card. I would recommend booking a timed entry slot online. Using public transportation went really smoothly.

The first Gothic structure in Portugal

The Alcobaça Monastery is the first Portuguese Gothic structure, crucial in the 12th century's establishment of the Portuguese Kingdom. Monks of the Order of Cistercians began constructing the monastery in 1778. No trip to Portugal is complete without seeing Europe's finest example of Cistercian architecture.

Discover how the monks lived

Walk to the heart of the monastery, where the Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence lies. It gives access to the refectory, the primitive kitchen, the monks’ hall, the chapter house, the church, and the dormitory. Be mesmerized by the Church of Saint Mary of Alcobaça, the first Gothic Portuguese church. Admire the King’s Hall, where the cladding of the walls with 18th-century tile panels depicts the monastic foundation.

Be awed by the medieval artwork

Inside the monastery, marvel at the masterpieces of medieval statues, the tombs of D. Pedro I, and Inês de Castro, and get to see the statues of São Bento and São Bernardo.

Purchase the Lisbon Card and tour the city hassle-free as you gain access to over 39 different attractions with unlimited travel on city transport.
