The place is magnificent, calm and restful. 12€ to visit just one monastery cloister is nevertheless quite expensive, as access to the church is free.

The ticketing experience was excellent, the website was very user friendly and we got the ticket right on the spot. The monastery was extremely beautiful, but it was a pity that the church was closed the day we passed by. Overall, we had a great time.

It was very easy to buy a tickets online and the staff working at the entrance were amazing, very helpful! It was the second time I visited Lisbon and I decided to go to Jerónimos Monastery. It is such a masterpiece, very beautiful monument with unique style!! It is remarkable that this monastery stands there for many many years.

The place is very nice. What I didn't like is the half hour queue despite having purchased tickets and having to enter the tickets one by one on the app since I bought 7.

Once we were in the castle it was good. We could not download or print the tickets. This was very frustrating. We could not download the audio guide as there was no Internet available. I would Not recommend this tour. Very frustrating experience trying downloading just the tickets. Much easier to just buy tickets at the venue.

Your experience

Understand Portugal's 'Age of Discovery'

Jerónimos Monastery, Portugal’s Manueline masterpiece, came from maritime wealth under King Manuel I (1495-1521). Together with Belém Tower, both UNESCO sites since 1983, they mark the departure point of historic voyages. Built during Portugal's golden age, Jerónimos Monastery was funded by spice trade wealth from 1501 to 1601. Each generation of craftsmen added to its legacy, blending late Gothic precision with maritime motifs that showcase Portugal’s seafaring spirit.

Inside Santa Maria de Belém, stone columns stretch like palm trees to the ceiling. The cloisters are filled with Portugal’s story, from carved ropes and sea creatures to symbols of exploration like anchors and armillary spheres, with gargoyles peeking out from corners.

The monastery houses several significant tombs, including those of Vasco da Gama, who opened the sea route to India, and Luís de Camões, who chronicled Portugal's maritime achievements in "Os Lusíadas." Upgrade for an insightful audio guide available in English, Spanish, German, or French, compatible with both Android and iOS.
