In itself they are two nice places to see, but I think the organization is terrible in terms of speeding up the queues. Honestly, it is not worth paying a ticket to queue for almost 4 hours between the two sites and leave both of them right away.

The monastery was clean and very welll-maintained. The line was long but worth it; I like that the attendants only allowed a few groups of people in at a time because it helped make the experience feel more personal.

Technically, buying tickets for the Hieronymos Monastery is very simple and convenient. Unfortunately, the tickets are not time-stamped, so you arrive with everyone else at the same time, conclusion: we had to queue for two hours to get in, in the middle of the heat, because there were hundreds of tourists queuing up fortunately, it was splendid. But 2 hours in line is a load of rubbish!

Didn't realize I needed to book ahead of time. Found out after standing in ticket holders line which was not identified except at the entrance. Tried to book using qr code. Didn't work. A man in line behind me went online and booked it for me, but I ened up with 2 adults (OK) and a child (not OK, as I did not have a child with me) Entrance person couldn't help as "it is a private app" and all this after waiting nearly 2 hours online. A beautiful place - but the experience was ruined by the issues above.

Your experience

Gain admission to 2 of Lisbon's most culturally significant attractions with a cost-effective combo ticket.

Belém Tower

The Tower consists of 4 stories: the Governor's Room, Kings' Room, the Audience Room, and the vaulted chapel. Dive right into exploring this UNESCO Heritage-listed monument and its historic role. Learn about how it protected the city as part of a tripartite defense system and how this fell apart after the Spanish Occupation.

With its limestone foundation and traditional medieval architecture, the most noticeable elements are the twisted ropes that wind around the building – ending in elegant knots – armillary spheres, crosses of the Order of Christ, and other Gothic features. Belém Tower was built not only to protect the port of Lisbon but also the Jerónimos Monastery.

Jerónimos Monastery

With the 2nd half of your ticket, soak up the different elements that make up this stunning model of Manueline architecture infusing Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance styles. The two levels of cloisters are so intricate and filled with structural detail that they took a hundred years to be completed.

Spot mythical creatures like gargoyles and marine animals within the carvings, columns, and arches. Don’t miss the vaulted ceilings on the lower level of the monastery or the views from the higher level of the adjacent Church of Santa Maria de Belém.
