The monastery is beautiful, a place to visit without a doubt, but I would like to make a point, people who have purchased the ticket to visit the mosaterio should have preference to see the church, once you have visited the monastery with the same ticket directly to the church, because in our case when we left there was a queue that went around and for time we could not stay and did not see the church and pay 18 € to see only the monastery, it is very expensive ...

The Monastry was breath-taking! Absolutely stunning - the intricate stone carving inside the Monastry is a marvel. I was there in January, and I went at opening time on a week day morning so it was relatively quiet compared to peak season. However, with my prepaid ticket I was able to walk straight in without any queueing. Excellent :)

The monastery is sumptuous. What I didn't like was buying my ticket on your site and having to queue much longer than those who bought their ticket on the spot. I guess you favor them because we're captives with our tickets already bought 😉. I confess I've never encountered this situation. Too bad

It's beautiful and I know you can do a audio guide but would have have loved to have some descriptions or an overview of the monastary. Just my two cents otherwise beautiful!

The cloister is splendid, but the visit is limited to that. When we saw the outside of the monastery, we thought the whole building could be visited, but the tour is limited to this area, which is very limited indeed. Also, the queue is very poorly signposted. We were looking for a separate queue as we had booked our tickets in advance, but we had to queue like everyone else. Then, as we moved along, we saw another queue marked "entrance for groups", so we quickly took that queue. However, it should have read "people accompanied by a GUIDE"! Unkindly, a gentleman told us we had to leave the queue. Fortunately, however, a very nice person passed us by and we didn't have to get back in the endless queue.

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.
