Line was very long despite having bought a ticket ahead of time. Got there at 9:30 when it opened and still stood in line for over an hour. However, once inside, the line was instantly worth it. Absolutely stunning monestary! Very captivating. Don't miss out!

We loved both places, the Belem Tower and the Jeronimus monastery. Both unique and beautiful! Worth visiting to experience this amazing architecture! The thing we didn't love was the queue. We waited for like 3-4 hours in the park for the line for the monastery to lighten a bit ,to then queue for another 30 min. Meanwhile we visited the Cultural Center and Contemporary Art museum opposite the park which has pieces of Dalí and Picasso.

The Belém Tower had an interesting history, the views from it were spectacular. We didn't even bother going to the monastery because the line was soooo long. It seems everyone would be better served if the entry was timed so people wouldn't have to stand in line for hours.

We booked a timeslot but when we arrived at the monastery we had to queue for 45minutes. Apparently they do not enforce the timeslots. Wouldn't have been so much of a problem but we only had a couple of hours in the area, so missed out on seeing other things.

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.
