Entry to the monastery was hassle-free; you can enter within an hour of your scheduled time. It’s not a skip-the-line ticket, but the wait was minimal—about 15 minutes—despite the large crowds (visit took place in August). Admission to the church is free, but you have to wait in another line once you exit the monastery (this one was quick as well).

There were two lines at the site—one for the cathedral and one for the monastery—but unfortunately there were no signs. I stood in the wrong line for a long time, but luckily I went to ask for directions, and that’s when I was told I needed to switch to the other line—which meant we ended up waiting a lot longer. That’s the only issue that needs to be fixed. Admission to the cathedral is free, while there’s an admission fee for the monastery, but there were no signs indicating which line was for which.

The monastery is really beautiful! It makes for some great photos! It’s definitely worth the trip! But São Jorge Castle is undoubtedly the highlight! It’s the perfect spot for a panoramic view of the city. Not to mention that you’ll feel like you’ve been transported into those scenes from medieval movies. Good facilities. It’s a very cool and pleasant place, especially considering how hot it was on the day I visited. Be prepared for the hike, since the castle is located on a hill.

Find the tomb of Vasco da Gama inside the Jerónimos Monastery, the renowned Portuguese explorer who discovered the sea route to India in 1498.

Go to the Chapter House, which features a rib-vaulted ceiling and walls. This space was historically used for meetings and ceremonies by the monks.

At the National Museum of Ancient Art, see paintings such as "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" as well as ancient figurines of the Torso of Apollo.

See over 5,000 artworks by Portuguese painters and photographs by notable artists like Abel Manta at National Museum of Contemporary Art.

Fun fact: The monastery's architecture incorporates nautical elements such as ropes, anchors, and sea monsters, reflecting the country's seafaring prowess.

Everything was perfect for our visit on July 25: we entered the Belém Tower at 10 a.m. with no line, and the same went for the Monastery at 1 p.m. We were able to explore at our own pace and take photos without too many people crowding the scenic spots! Truly excellent!

A beautiful place to explore. To our surprise, there was no line. (We entered at 2:30 p.m.) We had plenty of time to tour the site (the monastery and church) at our own pace.

Obtain tickets to visit the Jerónimos Monastery, an esteemed national monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated close to Lisbon. Within its walls, the church has been revered as a monument to local luminaries like Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama. Observe mythical creatures such as gargoyles and marine animals intricately carved into the columns, arches, and other decorative elements throughout the monastery. Wander through the 16th-century cloister and glimpse into the erstwhile monks’ refectory.

National Museum of Ancient Art

The National Museum of Ancient Art boasts a diverse collection of over 40,000 artworks and cultural artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for those intrigued by Portuguese art from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. It stands as one of the country's premier museums.
