Headout was the best purchase option I found to buy tickets for the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. Besides being one of the few options that didn't charge an extra fee, the online process is very intuitive, easy to access, and I was able to quickly resolve any additional questions I had. Once at the venue, we gained entry quickly at the scheduled date and time, and the experience was absolutely extraordinary.

Although the two queuing systems was confusing we made it into both church and cloisters and it was well worth the wait. What an amazing building. I had ordered audio guides as part of the online booking but these were not offered or even obvious to us where to ask for them. The cloisters were fabulous and I have since researched them myself but possibly not to the level of a proud national treasure.

A cloister of indescribable beauty, more like lace than masonry. PAY ATTENTION to the entrances. The queue to enter at your booked time forms much, much earlier and can be 100 meters or more, in full sun, so plan ahead. On the positive side, once your time slot arrives, it moves very quickly. A visit that is definitely worth the effort.

The line was not too long and since we were a party of 5 with a baby, we were let in skipping the lines. The staff was really kind and helpful. The monastery itself was very impressive, especially the inner yard and the gothic vibe I wish more of the monastery was accessible to the visitors, it seemed a little too small

The journey, by land and sea. Fá Fá’s personality—he’s an excellent entertainer. Very affable, very friendly, and very creative. He managed to get everyone involved, proving he’s the ideal person for this role. Thank you to everyone, and congratulations to the team. I’ll be back.

The architecture is stunning. It didn't take as long to walk through as I had expected. There's no need to wait in line with your timed ticket. When its near your time just get in that line where the time is posted.

See Lisbon from two angles in one outing, pairing a splashy 90-minute Hippotrip tour with time inside the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery in Belém.

Clatter through Lisbon’s hilly streets before your vehicle slips into the Tagus River on a 90-minute amphibious tour with live commentary in English and Portuguese.

Wander through Jerónimos Monastery, Belém’s UNESCO-listed showstopper, where carved cloisters and the church of Santa Maria de Belém reward slow exploration.

Skip the fuss of juggling separate plans with one combo that bundles your Hippotrip ride and monastery visit neatly into a single booking.

A smart pick for first-time visitors wanting a breezy introduction to Lisbon’s riverside neighborhoods alongside one of Belém’s most storied landmarks.

The architecture of the Monastery is amazing. The waiting line under the summer sun can be long to endure, and the visit inside won't be a long one, because it's actually a small place, but it's absolutely worth the visit, it feels magical. Don't forget to get some pasteis de Belem to eat not far from the Monastery.

I loved the journey by land and sea, but above all, the duo of Flávio and Fáfa... Their sense of humor and infectious joy were fantastic. Fáfa has an incredible gift for communication.

An unforgettable experience—the perfect blend of fun and culture! Taking the Lisbon tour aboard this amphibious bus was simply a fantastic experience! Going from driving on the road to plunging right into the Tagus River is a thrilling moment that alone is worth the entire ticket price. Special praise goes to the young woman who served as our guide and entertainer—she was extraordinary! She was incredibly friendly, captivating, and remarkably knowledgeable. Throughout the entire tour, she kept us engaged by sharing fascinating and never-boring trivia and anecdotes about Lisbon, all with a contagious smile and energy. If you visit Lisbon, you absolutely cannot miss this: it’s the most original, fun, and comprehensive way to discover the city. Highly recommended!

It was super entertaining, the comments from the guide were perfectly timed and light enough for the children not to get bored. The constant swapping from Portuguese to English gave you time to both listen and enjoy the views. If you don't know Lisbon it's a very good first approach, you can then explore the city afterwards and it will feel a bit more familiar. The views from the river are amazing. The guide and driver were super fun and friendly. Definitely recommend.

What to expect

Jerónimos Monastery is one of Lisbon’s most celebrated landmarks, famed for its elaborate Manueline architecture, soaring cloisters, and centuries-old maritime history. Built in the 16th century near the Tagus River in Belém, this UNESCO-listed monastery is closely tied to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries and explorer Vasco da Gama’s voyages.

Jerónimos Monastery

Be respectful of the religious nature of the monastery during your visit.

The church is a part of Jerónimos Monastery and offers free entry, but you must join a separate line to enter.

The monastery is a crowd-puller, and wait times can stretch to 2 hours during peak hours. Plan smart: arrive early and book tickets online in advance.

Entry is free for Portuguese residents on Sundays and public holidays, which often leads to larger crowds. If possible, plan your visit on another day.

The Jerónimos Monastery remains closed on Monday, 1st January, Easter Sunday, 1st May, and 25th December.
