We visited in mid-November when crowds are lower, but it's still nice to have the skip-the-line pass with the tour. Renan was so great, learning all of our names to speak with us on a personal level. I loved having the ear speaker, so that we could hear him. He just could speak in a normal voice and the audio was great. It gave us the freedom to wander and look at everything. Without the history and explanation, you will see a beautiful building, but with a guide, you will learn things you will never forget. We tasted the famous pastry of Portugal and walked to the monument of discovery (amazing). We loved this tour and highly recommend! It is not 4 hours as it says; it's actually less than 3 hours if that helps! 4 hours would be pretty daunting to us!

The place was just mesmerising, it was my first time in Lisbon and my first time in the Monastery. It was an incredible experience. The building itself is breathtaking, but I also liked how I got handled at the entrance - the person letting me in and out was nice and polite. There also wasn't much queuing. Directions inside the Monastery were clear, toilets were kept clean, the place looked well taken care of. I visited the Monastery at the end of November, so it was obvious to me that it wasn't gonna be very crowded, but it was a nice surprise still. I suggest that people who would like to properly enjoy the place without raging crowds choose "off-season" sightseeing in the Monastery. Overall, I'd rate my visit 5/5 stars.

An unforgettable experience in Lisbon! The combo including the Jeronimos Monastery, St. George's Castle and Lisbon Cathedral was excellent. Each place has its own charm: the Monastery impresses with its architecture and history, the Castle offers incredible panoramic views of the city and the Cathedral is majestic and very well preserved. The combined ticket is very convenient and saving 4% is a plus. Totally recommended for those who want to see the most emblematic of Lisbon without complications."

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.

My visit to the Jerónimos Monastery in Belém took place on December 23rd, a date naturally close to Christmas and with a high demand for visitors. Even with the large influx, the experience was extremely positive. The organization deserves to be highlighted: the staff were well prepared, attentive and always available to guide, answer questions and provide all the relevant information, which made all the difference for the visit to take place smoothly and fluently. The monastery is simply stunning. In addition to its architectural beauty - rich in detail and history - the space conveys a real sense of peace and contemplation, something that speaks directly to the original purpose for which it was built. It's the kind of place where you can feel the symbolic, spiritual and historical weight of the environment. The visit is well signposted, easy to get around and allows you to enjoy each space calmly, even on busy days. Without a doubt, it is one of Portugal's most striking landmarks and an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the country. I highly recommend it.

The ticket combo allows you to visit 3 of the must see sights of Lisbon. It is highly recommended to buy tickets in advance as the lines at the ticket counters can be very long. We saved at least 1-2 hours getting them with this combo, pricing is also lower than purchasing them on site. The monuments themselves are very impressive, the architecture, the history is memorable, especially for the cathedral and the monastery. The local peacocks at the castle were a nice surprise!

Thanks to the guided tour, given by a knowledgeable and kind guide, we also skipped some scary lines. Which would have caused stress and ruined the visit. So we took the best and avoided the worst.

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.
