Very efficient—I skipped an endless line thanks to buying tickets online. The audio guide was also very helpful because there aren't many signs inside.

Admission went smoothly. The cloister feels like something out of a fairy tale, with so many beautiful details to discover. The refectory, with its blue and yellow azulejos and secret door, is a feast for the eyes. We were only allowed to visit the first third of the church, and unfortunately not the whole thing, which was a real shame. We also had to line up in the heat a second time in front of the church, which really bothered us. The audio guide was helpful and interesting.

I don't think I had a smooth entry. People regulating the entrance couldn't help explaining me where I should go. So, I went through the main entrance where everyone is heading. I liked that I had an audio guide. But the problem with it as the half of places are currently beyond access, like the Church.

The place is impressive, easy to get to, and well-connected. The lines are long, but once they start moving, it's fast. But for a Monday in September, it was crowded.

I just visited the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon yesterday, and I have mixed feelings about it. Don't get me wrong, the building is absolutely beautiful. The architecture is amazing, and the details on the stone are really impressive. The inner courtyard, which is called the cloister, was definitely my favorite part. It was nice to walk around there. It is also really cool that you can see the tomb of Vasco da Gama inside the church. However, there are a few things I did not like. First of all, the line to get inside was crazy! We waited for almost an hour in the hot sun. If you want to go, you definitely need to buy tickets online before you arrive. Second, it was very crowded inside, which made it hard to take good photos. Also, there are not many signs explaining the history in English, so you don't really know what you are looking at. Overall, it is a pretty place to see, but be prepared for the crowds and long waiting times!

The monestary was truly awesome! The line to get in -- even after arriving 30 minutes before our ticket time-- was quite long. We took our time and listened to the audio tour which was nice to have. The light inside the center was so gorgeous and we took tons of beautiful images. My only complaint is that the chapel/church area is open to the public for free without a ticket-- and even if you were inside the monestary with a ticket-- they ask you to exit and re enter in the public line. After having paid to be there I did not want to stand in a long line in the heat of the day. They should have a separate line for people who have purchased tickets and allow them to enter as they please.
