I was able to get the time I needed on the Headout App while waiting in line at the monistary ticket box office. The line was long, but getting the tickets with Headout was a life-saver. The time I needed sold out while we were waiting in line, but I scored them with Headout! Thank you.

We were able to purchase last minutes tickets, despite the official website showing nothing available for days. The relatively small fee was worth it to see the ethereal monastery, cathedral, and Vasco da Gama's resting place.

The monastery is magnificent. It’s really nice to stroll through the castle, climb the ramparts, and admire the river from the overlooks—especially from the restaurant where we had our meal.

Everything was very well maintained. We arrived at the scheduled time, and the line was orderly. The tour is guided by a series of signs, which helps keep the flow of people moving and prevents people from wandering all over the place.

The place looked really nice. However, the employee at the line was unfriendly, and I stood in the right line for hours, only to be sent to the supposedly correct line when it was my turn. When I pointed out to him that the signs weren’t set up correctly, he ignored it at first and only changed them after several people complained.

    I arrived early to stand in line so that I could enter by my scheduled time and when I arrived I found out they were still letting people in from up to two hours before my timed entry because they were running behind! I ended up standing in the blazing hot sun for over an hour and a half, so by the time I got in I had zero energy to enjoy. I did end up entering right at my scheduled time, but I had no idea how the system worked and read online reviews that said to get there early but to me there's no point in arriving too early because you will still have to stand in the line for your specific time slot regardless of when you arrive and the line is outside with no shelter! This didn't make the attraction seem worth it, even though it's beautiful.

    Tickets purchased online, no need to go to the ticket office. Easy access to the site. A 5-minute wait for the selected time slot (10:30 a.m.) The tour itself isn’t any more interesting than what you see in all the photos, but it’s still very beautiful.

    Jerónimos Monastery

    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.

    Discover masterpieces by renowned Portuguese artists such as Nuno Gonçalves and Vasco Fernandes, alongside Flemish paintings by the likes of Bosch and Rubens. Be sure to observe prints and drawings from prominent figures like Dürer and Rembrandt. The museum also showcases decorative arts, including pottery, textiles, and metalwork.

    National Museum of Contemporary Art

    Established in 1911, the National Museum of Contemporary Art initially housed its collection within the ruins of the São Francisco da Cidade monastery, heavily damaged during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

As you wander through the galleries, you'll encounter a wide array of artistic styles spanning from the late 19th century to the present day.
