Royal Treasure Museum

Castle was delightful, wonderful views, and so peaceful too. Peacocks an added bonus and walking around the surrounding area was also fab. Once inside the monastery .... wow oh wow oh wow. Breathtaking stonemasonary. But be prepared for the queues. It's supposed to be better after 4.00pm but can't confirm. Ps the famous pasteis de belem is next door.

The Monastery is definitely a must-see when in Lisbon; however, the organisation regarding tickets and the overall visit was very poor due to lack of information available online. The staff were extremely rude and seemed annoyed by tourists. There was very little information displayed, which was quite confusing, and there was not much information inside either. It is stated online that shorts are not allowed; however, many people were wearing them.

Leider hat der bevorzugte Zutritt für das Kloster Jeronimos nicht funktioniert, da sich bereits eine lange Schlange vor dem Kloster gebildet hat und alle hatten die Lisboa card. Hier wäre zu empfehlen, das man oneline einen Eintritt mit Zeitfenster buchen kann. Die Nutzung der öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel hat super geklappt.

Highlights were access & unexpected extras. We appreciated being fast tracked on a long queue at jeronimos monastery, the efficiency of public transport in the city & visiting places we wouldn't have thought of (eg carriage museum was surprisingly interesting!). Don't miss the resistance Museum for a different side to Portuguese history. I would suggest reading carefully what exactly the card entitles. I got caught that it doesn't cover public transport around Sintra (& that it only gives a 10% discount there - & you still have to book ahead for a times ticket!). Maybe I didn't read details enough - maybe it was not made clear enough. Also worth checking what places will be shut when you visit (included access to Belém tower was t helpful when it is shut for renovation). We got our value, but not in Sintra (which used a day of our 72 hours).
