The monastery just from the outside was stunning to look at, but the real beauty was hidden on the inside grounds, a truly beautifully constructed monastery with contemporary wonderful architecture for its period. A must see whilst in Lisbon. We had to Que around an hour (we went in June at 10:30am). I had already looked up so knew queuing times can be long so it didn’t bother me much. There will be some street pedlars trying to sell u hats and trinkets whilst you’re queuing but they aren’t overpowering in their approach but more fun to barter with. Overall it’s a stunning wonderful marvel of architecture and definitely worth visiting. One point to note there will be 2 ques and the Que on the left is the one for the monastery and the one on the right is for a church right next to the monastery so make sure you’re in the right Que. Loved it

Full description

Get entrance tickets to Jerónimos monastery, a national monument classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and located near the city of Lisbon. Learn about how King Manuel I commissioned the monastery in 1496 to honor the Infante for his devotion to Our Lady and faith in St. Jerome. Once inside, marvel at the Manueline or Portuguese Late Gothic architecture. Discover how the monastery of St. Mary of Belém was donated to the monks of the Order of St. Jerome. For this reason, it is commonly known as the Jerónimos Monastery. In 1833, when the order was dissolved, the monastery was used as a school and orphanage until 1940. In the 19th century, the church became the monument for local heroes and poets such as Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama. Come and discover what is not simply a notable work of architecture, but also an important part of Portuguese identity and culture.

Maybe updates on the Monastery. We couldn’t go through the church due to maintenance.
