The monument was really beautiful. The visit wasn’t too long. With the audio guide, you can go at your own pace. It’s super interesting to learn about the history of this monument. I recommend getting tickets as early in the morning as possible, otherwise the wait will be very long by late morning or in the afternoon. If you want to visit the church, make sure to go on a day other than Sunday, since it’s closed until 2 p.m. for mass.

The monastery was beautiful and once inside, peaceful almost spiritual. Incredible engineering and the detail and craftsmanship exceeded any expectations from photos I had viewed. Buying the tickets online was the key and going in the morning essential. The lines for buying tickets were in the hundreds and people waited for hours. It was very confusing about which line to be on and make sure to find an official person to ask.

Thanks to the fact that we bought our tickets online, we were able to get in faster. Because all the time there is a long line. But when you are inside it is a marvel what your eyes see and everything is worth the wait. The security people outside some of them are very nice but the women are very rude and don't give you the information you need, they just tell you to wait in line without paying attention to what you say.

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.

The sailboat models were the most beautiful I've ever seen from 2 feet to 6 feet long. The detail was simply amazing to witness the evolution from rowing fishing boats to working fishing trollers to ships for exploration the most beautiful being the combination of steam wood and Sail shine Portugal's mastery of the art of nautical science

The best part of this ticket is the downloadable audio guide. I found this tour to be one of the best of our trip. Being able to listen to the history of the tour made enhanced the stunning visuals of the monastery. Instead of just walking and seeing, hearing the history of the church made this trip more interesting.

We liked the unique Manueline architecture, the Church of Santa Maria, and the ornate cloisters. The highlight was the tomb of explorer Vasco da Gama. We have been to Goa in India which use to be a Portuguese Colony and have many buildings which have similar architecture

The cloister is bombastic: it is huge, beautifully bright and has an oriental influence. There are many, many details to be found if you look closely. The refectory with its tiled murals is also very impressive.

The local architecture, the beauty of the monastery itself and the organization that made the journey understandable and easy. It was a beautiful visit and I would love to see more if possible, but I understand that we can't always see every room to preserve things

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.
