The Cloister is truly magnificent! Disappointing not to have had access to the Chapel, which was apparently reserved for a wedding and also under renovation. The disappointment comes mainly from the fact that I didn't get the information when I booked the tickets (on the internet) or did I not see it? Mystery... I think it would be interesting to add explanations/panels on the history of this building, the work that may have taken place there or that is currently underway, and what is still going on today in the walls that are not accessible to the public. Are there any monks left?

Loved the beautiful architecture and serenity. The church was closed for maintenance and I regret that we couldn't see it

It was easy to buy tickets from Headway and show thrm on my phone at the entrance. Despite timed entry ticket you still have to join the back of the queue. It took about half an hour though this was early in the morning in November and may be longer in busier times of the year. The inner courtyard of the monestry was stunningly beautiful and well worth the wait in line. Despite the people it felt very tranquil and it was easy to imagine the monks passing through it, enjoying the sheltered sunshine in the winter and finding cool shade In the hot summers. Unfortunately at the time of my visit the church was closed for renovation so I missed out on that. Despite this I'd still recommend it if you love architecture or just beautiful places

I really thought purchasing tickets with Head Out would be easy, and it was, but if I ever knew the cost is double, I would not have ever purchased the tickets here. The Monastery is not that big and you could not explore the whole monastery. You charged 20 euros por the experience and it is not woth it at all

We went at 1pm on a very sunny November Tuesday. There was at least 1h wait time. No thanks! We went to Cascais instead and came back the day after at 3.30pm. (We at 2pm tickets for the Tuesday but they were valid for 2/3 weeks, what's the point?!). It was overcast so we were ready to be in line for a while (less hot!) but no line at all! Yeah! It was not crowded, it took us a little more than 30mins to visit (only the cloister, church was closed). In my opinion, it was worth coming back for (beautiful ❤️) but not worth being in line 1h++ for. They have a pretty bad system - they could have time slots like in many touristic places, this would be way more efficient

Your experience

Gain admission to 2 of Lisbon's most culturally significant attractions with a cost-effective combo ticket. Upgrade to add a multilingual audio guide to your cart and gain a deeper insight into the maritime history of the city.

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.
