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.

The history of the monastery (and its unexpected connection to pastel de nata) helped my time in Lisbon have layered meaning. Our guide (Dee) was wonderful, incredibly knowledgeable, really great with the young kids in our group, and even took our pictures if we wanted!! I would recommend the full walking tour and pastry option if you have the time.

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.

Jerónimos monastery was absolutely stunning and I think a priority to see while in Lisbon. It is one of the only buildings to survive the devastating 1755 earthquake in Lisbon. The skip the line was totally worth it (I could only go on a holiday Saturday and we got in very quickly). My tour guide, Joao, was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the Monastery and surrounding area. I also thought the visit to Pastéis de Belém (without any wait) was totally worth it to taste the historic pastery. I really enjoyed the entire tour!

We noticed how crowded the tours were, but the time slot we chose (11:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) allowed us to get in without waiting. Despite the construction work outside, the interior of the monastery and the church are still impressive. This was our second visit, and we’re still drawn to this Lisbon landmark and its peaceful atmosphere. Buying tickets in advance on the website is a real plus.

I was at the monastery with my mother, who uses a wheelchair. We felt so special! They gave us their full support and attention—we’ve never been treated with such care before. And of course, the monastery is beautiful! It’s definitely worth a visit!

Had a great day in Lisbon first visiting the Sao Jorge Castle and then making our way by tram to the Monastary. Easy with the pre-purchased tickets not to have to queue to buy tickets!

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.

Upgrades: 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.

What to bring

To stay protected and hydrated, bring a hat and water, as summer temperatures can rise above 25ºC.

What's not allowed

Strict dress code: Off-shoulder tops, dresses, and knee-high shorts are not recommended.

Visitors are not allowed to photograph some parts of the monastery.

Keep in mind that food, beverages, large bags, or backpacks are not allowed on this experience.

Accessibility

The lower level is wheelchair accessible, but some areas have cobblestones and can be tricky to navigate.

Wheelchairs are available for rent at the entrance.

Additional information

Going with the upgrade? The audio guide will be accessible via an app. Download instructions will be shared with your ticket. Just make sure to pack your headphones!

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.

To avoid the rush hour madness, we recommend the guided tour with 9:30am priority access.

Entry is free for Portugal 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, January 1, Easter Sunday, May 1, and December 25.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.
