    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.

    Beautiful Jeronimos Monastery. The waiting time was adequate. On the other hand for the Belém Tower (being an untimed reservation), it was very long. But it is worth a visit

    The Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery are absolutely stunning! I would definitely recommend getting there early as the lines do get very, very long. Getting our tickets through headcount was so easy and clear! The Monastery is very close to the best pastel de nata that we had in Portugal! Go to Pasteis de Belém!!!
  • These tickets are valid until 31 Mar, 2025.

  • The Belém Tower has long been a symbol of Portugal’s history, culture, and heritage. Officially called the ‘Tower of Saint Vincent’ (in honor of Lisbon’s patron saint), this notable landmark is a 16th-century fortification on the River Tagus. Serving as a starting point and destination for Portuguese ships and explorers, it was also a ceremonial gateway to the city.

    Dive right into exploring this UNESCO Heritage-listed monument and its historic role. Learn about how it protected the city as part of a tripartite defense system and how this fell apart after the Spanish Occupation. With its limestone foundation and traditional medieval architecture, better known as ‘Manueline’ architecture, the most noticeable elements are the twisted ropes that wind around the building – ending in elegant knots – armillary spheres, crosses of the Order of Christ, and other Gothic features. The Tower consists of four stories: the Governor's Room, Kings' Room, the Audience Room, and the vaulted chapel. Upgrade your experience with a Lisbon Card included, which gives you access to several sites like the Jerónimos Monastery, the National Costume Museum, and the National Museum of the Azulejo, along with free transportation.
