I really liked the cloister, the ornamentation of the columns and capitals is very rich. I find the Manueline style very interesting. Also the sacritistia with the wood and leather furniture and the very unique books.

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.

Headout worked well for booking. With our tickets, we waited in a relatively long line to get in (within an hour) but once inside, found the experience well worth the visit and a must see.

The monastery is stunning... cool, beautiful and serene . Worth queueing to visit, although after buying a ticket online we got to the front of the queue and then had to go across the road to pick up the Lisboa card. The office was closed for lunch, so by the time we got into the monastery several hours had gone by.

We had a good experience because we arrived really early and only had to wait for about 45 minutes, unlike friends who waited 2 hours in the afternoon. We were in a queue for about 20 minutes before we realised we needed to go to the ticket office to validate our Lisboa card. This information may have been in the small print but it may need to be a more prominant as it would have been awful to wait for a long time and then not be able to get in because we hadn't validated the ticket.

Ticket validity

These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Your Experience

Batalha Monastery

As you enter the monastery, walk through a beautiful square – Largo do Mosteiro. At the center, there is a large statue of military commander Nuno Alvares Pereira, credited with leading the Portuguese to victory in the Aljubarrota battle.

The entrance to the monastic complex is from the church, which stands tall with an intricate facade, beautiful carvings, and stained-glass windows. Next, royal crypts can be found in the Founder’s Chapel. Don’t forget to look up at its octagonal roof! Make sure to also check out and wash your hands at the Basin, a gorgeous little fountain that forms part of the monument’s hydraulic systems.
