Leonoro could not have been better. She was at the meeting point ahead of schedule but not wearing a yellow shirt as advised in the meeting information - she said their company colours had changed but that Headout were not changing the instructions - confusing? Because she was so prompt we were the first group to enter the monastery and avoided some of the crowds. With her audio guide we were able hear and understand all the amazing facts about such an incredible building. She brought the history to life with a mixture of detail and humour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and so glad we had made the booking for the early tour.

The monument was really beautiful. The visit wasn’t too long. With the audio guide, you can go at your own pace. It’s super interesting to learn about the history of this monument. I recommend getting tickets as early in the morning as possible, otherwise the wait will be very long by late morning or in the afternoon. If you want to visit the church, make sure to go on a day other than Sunday, since it’s closed until 2 p.m. for mass.

The monastery was beautiful and once inside, peaceful almost spiritual. Incredible engineering and the detail and craftsmanship exceeded any expectations from photos I had viewed. Buying the tickets online was the key and going in the morning essential. The lines for buying tickets were in the hundreds and people waited for hours. It was very confusing about which line to be on and make sure to find an official person to ask.

Your ticket gets you through the doors of Jerónimos Monastery—Lisbon's awe-inspiring, UNESCO-listed architectural masterpiece.

Spot nautical motifs, beautiful cloisters, and even Vasco da Gama’s tomb—every detail here tells a story from Portugal’s seafaring past.

It's a lovely place, but it gets incredibly crowded with visitors. Knowing this, I booked well in advance and chose a morning entry time thinking if I was there when it opened I might avoid the tour bus groups. But the day before my tour, Headout notified me that my entry was changed to 1:30. I was very displeased about having to change my plans at the last minute

Frederico was our guide and he was outstanding, excellent, superb can't praise him enough. He set the Whole visit in the context of the time with the history and relevance. It made such a difference. He kept us all captivated for over 2 hours. The monastery is a beautiful building but would have been quite meaningless without his commentary.

The tour of Jerónimos Monastery with Freddi was really good. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he had a passion for Portuguese history. The Monastery is worth visiting and is so beautiful. It's so much better when you have someone giving you the history behind it.

I don't usually like guided tours but this was well worth it. Our guide was great and we were able to get into the monastary and church before most other people on the morning of our tour. I would recommend booking with this group.

Step inside Lisbon’s Jerónimos Monastery and explore a UNESCO World Heritage landmark at your own pace.

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.

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

To avoid the rush hour madness, we recommend the guided tour with 9:30am priority access.

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

Some areas may be closed for restoration, but there's still lots to discover at Jerónimos.
