    I bought my tickets in advance and avoided selling out and queuing at the ticket office, but because there is no appointment, you have to queue for up to 2 hours anyway.

    I got up early, but the lines were almost an hour long to get in. Buying tickets in advance makes no difference in the spring, in both places there were no more than 5 or 10 people buying tickets. In addition, people were cutting in line and the security of the place did not make any control. Incredibly in the Jeronimos the people who were cutting in line were not Latinos but Portuguese and Italians, young people.

    Beautiful places to visit. Plan to go early as there are usually long lineups to get in, even with the tickets bought online.

    The church at the Jerónimos Monastery was closed to visitors. The Belem Tower was closed to visitors due a claim of bead weather.

    Unfortunately you could not access the outside balconies on all floors and therefore did not have the expected view of the city

  • Why Visit the Belém Tower?

    This incredible 6 story tower is an architectural work of art. Its intricate design makes for a stunning photo op but beyond its beauty lies a long history of power and protection. Explore its many levels and learn about its past as part of Portugal’s rich cultural heritage.

    Learn about the Belém Tower

    Your English and Spanish-speaking guide will walk you through the history of the monument for over 1.5 hours. The tower has 5 levels connected by a spiral staircase. These stairs are so narrow that they’ve installed a traffic signal set up to go up and down the stairs! Visit the octagonal Governor's Chamber and then make your way to the King’s room which overlooks the southern side of the tower. Another interesting element in this room is the eight holes in the floor called 'machicolations', through which the garrison could shoot or drop projectiles to fend off attacks.

    Capture Panoramic Views

    Get stunning views of the Tagus Estuary and riverbanks from the terrace. Looking northward, catch sight of the secluded Chapel of St. Jerome among the trees on Avenida da Liberdade.
