It was super entertaining, the comments from the guide were perfectly timed and light enough for the children not to get bored. The constant swapping from Portuguese to English gave you time to both listen and enjoy the views. If you don't know Lisbon it's a very good first approach, you can then explore the city afterwards and it will feel a bit more familiar. The views from the river are amazing. The guide and driver were super fun and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Entry to the monastery was hassle-free; you can enter within an hour of your scheduled time. It’s not a skip-the-line ticket, but the wait was minimal—about 15 minutes—despite the large crowds (visit took place in August). Admission to the church is free, but you have to wait in another line once you exit the monastery (this one was quick as well).

See Lisbon from two angles in one outing, pairing a splashy 90-minute Hippotrip tour with time inside the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery in Belém.

Clatter through Lisbon’s hilly streets before your vehicle slips into the Tagus River on a 90-minute amphibious tour with live commentary in English and Portuguese.

Wander through Jerónimos Monastery, Belém’s UNESCO-listed showstopper, where carved cloisters and the church of Santa Maria de Belém reward slow exploration.

Skip the fuss of juggling separate plans with one combo that bundles your Hippotrip ride and monastery visit neatly into a single booking.

A smart pick for first-time visitors wanting a breezy introduction to Lisbon’s riverside neighborhoods alongside one of Belém’s most storied landmarks.

A wonderful experience. Even though it was July 25, the times we chose for our visits allowed us to explore at our own pace without having to wait in line. At the Belém Tower, the 10:00 a.m. entry time was perfect, and the light was fabulous for admiring the views from above. The climb up the tower isn’t too strenuous because it’s divided into several sections at each landing. For the Jerónimos Monastery, we had booked a 1:30 p.m. slot, but we managed to get in at 1:00 p.m., so everything went perfectly. The monastery’s architecture is beautiful, and the atmosphere is truly enchanting. Before heading back to Lisbon on the 15E tram (which is very convenient), a stop for some pasteis de nata is a must!

There were two lines at the site—one for the cathedral and one for the monastery—but unfortunately there were no signs. I stood in the wrong line for a long time, but luckily I went to ask for directions, and that’s when I was told I needed to switch to the other line—which meant we ended up waiting a lot longer. That’s the only issue that needs to be fixed. Admission to the cathedral is free, while there’s an admission fee for the monastery, but there were no signs indicating which line was for which.

A beautiful place to explore. To our surprise, there was no line. (We entered at 2:30 p.m.) We had plenty of time to tour the site (the monastery and church) at our own pace.

Hippotrip amphibious sightseeing tour

What to expect

Roll past Lisbon’s waterfront landmarks and lively central neighborhoods before the vehicle glides straight into the Tagus River near Belém with a crowd-pleasing splash.

Features

Live commentary in English and Portuguese packed with local stories, quirky facts, and handy Lisbon insights along the way.

Jerónimos Monastery

What to expect

Jerónimos Monastery is one of Lisbon’s most celebrated landmarks, famed for its elaborate Manueline architecture, soaring cloisters, and centuries-old maritime history. Built in the 16th century near the Tagus River in Belém, this UNESCO-listed monastery is closely tied to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries and explorer Vasco da Gama’s voyages.

Stroll through peaceful cloisters and the church of Santa Maria de Belém, known for soaring interiors, elegant arches, and remarkable craftsmanship.

Take time to wander the monastery gardens and explore Belém’s historic riverside streets, pastry shops, and landmark-filled corners independently.

Additional information

Arrive at Doca de Santo Amaro 15–20 minutes before departure so boarding can begin on time.

The tour lasts about 90 minutes with no stops; you remain on board for the full circuit.

An adult must accompany children aged 2 to 16 years throughout the experience.

Hippotrip commentary is live in Portuguese and English with the guide alternating between languages, rather than using recorded audio headsets.

Jerónimos Monastery

Be respectful of the religious nature of the monastery during your visit.

The church is a part of Jerónimos Monastery and offers free entry, but you must join a separate line to enter.

The monastery is a crowd-puller, and wait times can stretch to 2 hours during peak hours. Plan smart: arrive early and book tickets online in advance.

Entry is free for Portuguese residents on Sundays and public holidays, which often leads to larger crowds. If possible, plan your visit on another day.

The Jerónimos Monastery remains closed on Monday, 1st January, Easter Sunday, 1st May, and 25th December.
