CoupleVerified booking4 days ago4/5The monastery is just stunning - the architecture and celebration of the exploration and the role of the monastery in that past time was really well presented throughout. We went later in the afternoon and it was a lovely temperature and had wonderful light for photos at that time. The line was quite long and disorganised to get in, but it moved relatively quickly in the end.AAntony D
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The Jerónimos Monastery is a truly beautiful and impressive place. Its architecture and historical atmosphere make it a must-see when visiting Lisbon. It attracts many visitors and is an important part of the city’s cultural heritage and tourism. The visit was very enjoyable, and the monastery definitely adds a lot to the charm and appeal of Lisbon.KKim S
CoupleVerified booking4 days ago5/5We met our guide Luis at the designated meet up spot and enjoyed a very educational tour of the monastery, pasteis tasting & production tour, and waterfront walk to the Monument of the Discoveries. Luis was so informative about everything and the skip-the-line feature of our ticket was a true time saver and value. This booking was a good tour!JJustyna D
FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The architecture is beautiful, but the queue to enter in the blazing sun (32 degrees in the shade) was terrible, with a waiting time of over an hour. 20 euros for a ticket and we only got to see the courtyard and a part of the church. So, we waited over an hour to get in for just 30 minutes of sightseeing. That is why I have mixed feelings.MMaria K
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5The courtyard is indeed very beautiful with great architecture, but still quite small. The value for money just wasn't right for us. But apparently, restoration work is also underway at the moment (as of September 2026).

Getting started

What to expect
The Jerónimos Monastery stands as a masterpiece of Manueline architecture, built in the early 16th century to commemorate Portugal’s Age of Discovery. This monumental site is both a symbol of national identity and a resting place for key figures in Portuguese history.

-
Cloisters: Walk through the two-level cloisters, where detailed arches and sculpted columns showcase the artistry of the Manueline style.
