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.

Great stop with nice views of an iconic building of Lisboa filled with history. The wait is unbearable. You have to wait for as long as a Disney attraction and the monastery is quite empty in terms of artistic value. In my opinion , the whole space could be filled with artistic pieces or used as a space for cultural events. Underused for sure. It's a nice thing to check of your checklist, but just going to the parish/ church next door is quite more the while.

The line to get in was over 35 minutes long and very confusing (and we were there early). The chapel is under construction so there was little to see AND it was super noisy with construction noise!! We were in and out in less than 45 minutes and VERY DISAPPOINTED! Of course, there was no reduction in prices. We would not recommend at this time. Save your money and just take pics from outside or do the church part FOR FREE!

The visit was assolutely amazing, worth waiting in a line for a while. Buying the entrance at 9:30 was the perfect choiche, allowing us also a smooth entrance to the church afterwards.

The visit to the monastery was great, well worth it! A visit full of history, followed by the pastéis de Belém, as the store is right next door!

Although the line scared us at first, it didn't take more than 15 min to get in. It is ,however, a bit strange that on the way out you have to queue again to get into the church. Anyway, the organization is good and a "brisk" flow of visitors is maintained.

The architecture of the building is really impressive. Although there were a lot of tourists, you didn't get the feeling that it was overcrowded and you could enjoy the atmosphere.

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.

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.
