We visited in mid-November when crowds are lower, but it's still nice to have the skip-the-line pass with the tour. Renan was so great, learning all of our names to speak with us on a personal level. I loved having the ear speaker, so that we could hear him. He just could speak in a normal voice and the audio was great. It gave us the freedom to wander and look at everything. Without the history and explanation, you will see a beautiful building, but with a guide, you will learn things you will never forget. We tasted the famous pastry of Portugal and walked to the monument of discovery (amazing). We loved this tour and highly recommend! It is not 4 hours as it says; it's actually less than 3 hours if that helps! 4 hours would be pretty daunting to us!

The place was just mesmerising, it was my first time in Lisbon and my first time in the Monastery. It was an incredible experience. The building itself is breathtaking, but I also liked how I got handled at the entrance - the person letting me in and out was nice and polite. There also wasn't much queuing. Directions inside the Monastery were clear, toilets were kept clean, the place looked well taken care of. I visited the Monastery at the end of November, so it was obvious to me that it wasn't gonna be very crowded, but it was a nice surprise still. I suggest that people who would like to properly enjoy the place without raging crowds choose "off-season" sightseeing in the Monastery. Overall, I'd rate my visit 5/5 stars.

The monastery is beautiful and worth a visit. Little bit disoriented at the first since there's no number inside the monastery to match the audio guide so traced back and it all makes sense. Very good interpretation of each site inside the monastery unfortunately large portion of the church is under construction currently. And outside of the monastery was under construction as well. Would like to come back when the construction is done to see more..

We had an excellent guide and it was extremely interesting as he pointed out various aspects of the architecture and asked us for our views as to why the sculotors had represented things in this way. It was very informative historically and artistically. HIghly recommended. The highlight was the Pastel de Nata and cherry brandy/coffee at the famous shop nearby the monastery. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.

The Jerónimos Monastery is one of the most impressive landmarks in Lisbon and definitely worth the ticket. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by stunning Manueline architecture — intricate stone carvings, cloisters bathed in sunlight, and details everywhere you look. The cloister is the highlight; peaceful, beautifully preserved, and perfect for photos.

Getting Started

Begin your visit at the main entrance on Praça do Império, where your ticket is validated before entry. After a brief security check, you’re free to wander the monastery’s historic halls and cloisters independently.

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.

Features

Southern Portal: Admire the elaborate southern entrance, renowned for its intricate stonework and maritime motifs that reflect Portugal’s seafaring legacy.

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

Church of Santa Maria de Belém: Visit the church’s nave, home to the tombs of explorer Vasco da Gama and poet Luís de Camões, both central to Portugal’s cultural heritage.

Chapter House and Refectory: Discover the chapter house and refectory, each featuring unique vaulted ceilings and decorative elements that highlight the monastery’s architectural innovation.

Deepen your understanding with an optional audio guide, or enjoy a richer narrative with a skip-the-line guided tour. These options are ideal for those who want to uncover hidden stories and architectural significance in detail.
