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!!!

The cloister is beautiful and beautifully kept, but beyond that there is nothing more, 18€ per person is really too much. I expected to see other interesting spaces of the whole monastery, which from the outside looks gigantic

Way too expensive just to visit the monastery Apart from the beauty of the building, there's nothing to look at, no works of art or anything else, and the monastery is so small that the price is unjustified.

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.
