Did not love the fact that the church and the upper choir were both closed. That was half of the tour. What we did experience was very good.

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.

When we arrived at the monastery they only let us access the cloister but not the church which was closed.... The truth is that paying almost 20€ to enter a cloister in which we were basically 10 minutes was quite disappointing... A pity since it was the second time I went there and I remembered it as the best place in town... I think the prices do not match the reality.

The monastery is very beautiful but the Church was closed and this was not written at all, so I did not understand how mail the ticket cost was so high, almost double the purchase at the box office

The architecture of the monastery is absolutely beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of our Lisbon trip. However, the visit to the adjacent church is a total waste of time. The building is under extensive renovation, so you could only see less than 2% of the church (one can only walk in 30 feet from the entrance). Had we known that, we wouldn't even wait in line for 5 minutes for a 1 minute visit. In addition, the staff at the monastery are not very friendly...as if they are doing you a favor to let you in with a ticket!!!

Visit Libon's top 3 attractions with this super saver combo: Jerónimos Monastery, National Museum of Contemporary Art, and National Museum of Ancient Art.

Jerónimos Monastery

Obtain tickets to visit the Jerónimos Monastery, an esteemed national monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated close to Lisbon. Within its walls, the church has been revered as a monument to local luminaries like Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama. Observe mythical creatures such as gargoyles and marine animals intricately carved into the columns, arches, and other decorative elements throughout the monastery. Wander through the 16th-century cloister and glimpse into the erstwhile monks’ refectory.

National Museum of Ancient Art

The National Museum of Ancient Art boasts a diverse collection of over 40,000 artworks and cultural artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for those intrigued by Portuguese art from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century. It stands as one of the country's premier museums.

Discover masterpieces by renowned Portuguese artists such as Nuno Gonçalves and Vasco Fernandes, alongside Flemish paintings by the likes of Bosch and Rubens. Be sure to observe prints and drawings from prominent figures like Dürer and Rembrandt. The museum also showcases decorative arts, including pottery, textiles, and metalwork.

During your visit, don't overlook the 15th-century St. Vincent Panels and the extraordinary solid gold Cross of Dom Sancho I, both of which are significant highlights of the museum's collection.

National Museum of Contemporary Art

Established in 1911, the National Museum of Contemporary Art initially housed its collection within the ruins of the São Francisco da Cidade monastery, heavily damaged during the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The museum proudly features renowned pieces by celebrated artists including Rodin, Abel Manta, and Adriano Sousa Lopes. As you wander through the galleries, you'll encounter a wide array of artistic styles spanning from the late 19th century to the present day.
