Very easy to buy tickets, although I was not able to take advantage of the 10% I got. The convent is beautiful. But in my opinion it could cost a tad less. There is only the outside porch tour to do.

The visit to the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon was great. We went around 16:00 and there was very little queue and it went quite fast. The places to visit are spectacular and at that hour the sunlight is wonderful. The cloister is to stay there for a long time contemplating its beauty, from above and below. The last thing we visited was the church, without a queue... a pity that it was badly covered by restoration, which is also necessary, of course. So we will have to go back.

I really liked the monastery and enjoyed the visit but what I did not like is that despite having purchased a ticket in advance, the lines are huge and slow. I would like in the future to have the possibility to buy the visit to be able to enter at specific times.
