The monastery is magnificent. The interior is truly splendid, and the facade is also very impressive. The church is quite pretty. The visit is quick. But it's very crowded.

Good experience but credit card did not work well the first time and had to use a different one which was frustrating. This experience should take Discover card for payment. Tickets were sent promptly. Wait was rather long though which was frustrating.
Gabriele

A visit to the monastery is definitely a highlight. Every visitor to Lisbon should have it on their itinerary. The waiting time was manageable, in any case the afternoon is the best time to visit. Public transport connections are great. What was not so good was the consistency of the audio guide with the tour. The description was very detailed but not everything was accessible.

Overall, the information provided was helpful, and the suggestions from other visitors were valuable. We arrived early to ensure we were among the first to visit. The Audio guide was easy to use. However, some areas were closed, and it seems that access to the Monastery may vary over time. The church side did not open until 10:30 AM, which we were unaware of. We took our time exploring the first half, but by the time we exited, a long line had already formed for the church visit. Seeing the queue, we decided to forgo the visit. It would have been helpful if the audio guide had included a note about the opening time.

The admission without waiting time was good and the tour guide's explanations were interesting and entertaining. On the other hand, the explanations were too detailed and took far too long at around 90 minutes. Especially in view of the fact that only the cloister and the refectory were to be visited in the monastery, which could also be seen in a quick 15-minute tour. The visit to the monastery was followed by queuing in front of the church for around 30 minutes. When booking the tour, the queue in front of the church was not mentioned. All in all, the tour lasted more than 140 minutes without giving us a chance to sit down, which can be very tiring for people over 65.

The tour guide added a lot of information that was personal. Also he argued with the staff, he was taking too long at locations and tours were passing us. So much personal information it was hard to determine what was actually the information for the tour. He is studying to be a tour guide. He should stick to the tour information.

Everything on time, good guide. It took a while but everything was fine. MY DISCOMFORT IS THAT I WAS SOLD A TICKET WITH THE ENTRANCE TO THE BELEN TOWER AND IT WAS CLOSED FOR RENOVATION AND THAT HONESTLY I SEE IT AS A LIE TO WHAT WAS OFFERED AND HIGHER PRICE.

The Lisboacard is highly recommended. We bought it for 3 days and it was really worth it. You don't have to queue when you visit the Castello San Jorge. The left row is for Lisboacard holders and it's quicker. Use of the streetcar, streetcar and public buses are included. Entrance to numerous museums is also included. Please visit the Museum de Azulejos with its beautiful church. You can order the card online and pick it up at the Tourist Office (at the airport or in the city)

Very good for metro bus streetcar transport! Easy to use but many attractions are still paying like botanical garden, monastery of saint Antoine... and you have to be able to use it, because some of the best attractions, such as the Belém tower, are inaccessible to the rest of the world, which is a pity, or the Jeronimos monastery, which needs a queue cutter.

What I loved most about this experience was the ease of presenting the e-ticket, and of course seeing the inside of the monastery, it is truly beautiful. The bad thing, the waiting time to enter, today I had a long line at 11 am and I was able to enter until 12:50 pm.

The place is beautiful and worth the experience. Arrive very early, or after 1pm, to avoid huge queues. Wear sunscreen and bring a hat.

Had a wonderful visit to the monestry. Avoided the early queues by going mid afternoon and enjoyed the beautiful cloisters without too many others spoiling the views!! Only dispappointment was to find the Church closed due to renovation work, so check before visiting.
Hazel
May 2025Verified booking
Queue went down very quickly so not waiting for long to get in. Stunning building. The architecture was so beautiful and detailed. Very calm and cool inside the cloisters as well. Plenty opportunity and space to take pictures. Certainly worth a visit. Also went to the church next door. Also beautiful.

Although the queue at the entrance was very long, the entry times were not long. Jeronimus Monastery is a tourist attraction not to be missed.

It's a magnificent (if somewhat empty) space that transports us to another era. The church was being renovated, so there's nothing to see.

Good experience but credit card did not work well the first time and had to use a different one which was frustrating. This experience should take Discover card for payment. Tickets were sent promptly. Wait was rather long though which was frustrating.

The attraction itself was extraordinary, respectful for Portugese history and activities and arresting in its scope. However, for a first time visitor to Portugal, having staff to provide guidance on what was free, what had to be paid for and which line goes where, in advance of a visitor joining the line and standing in the sun for some time, before learning it was the wrong line. In short more guidance is needed to enhance appreciation of the great Lisbon sights and indeed a more efficient process would provide additional time to visit each sight and of course eat pastels!
Samuel
May 2025Verified booking
The place is beautiful. I expected to see more in the cloister. The highlight was the painting that link the story of Joseph with the feeding of the 5000. What I did not like is the inefficiency of getting the people in. Just like the Pena Palace you can limit the people to certain time slots. Maybe have a faster way to scan the tickets and get people in. For the money paid for the ticket I expected to see more.
Plamena

You wait a long time in line, even if you have bought your tickets a long time ago and supposedly and you already have the tickets there is an entrance without a line... in short a disaster, the place is wonderful but you spend at least 45-50min waiting in the sun.

Tickets worked but still had to queue despite pre-booking. For the price felt there wasn't much to see given the monastery was huge. Also, I didn't get to go into the prayer room, not sure if this was for VIP access or I missed a sign.

Beautiful architecture. Long line in morning, came back later and only waited about 10 min. Were able to go to mass in the church next door which is also beautiful. Beautiful, peaceful place.

You sold my tickets just two days before our visit - and wthere were a strike. The strike don't occur so suddentlye. I tried to contact you ASAP, nobody answered. In the same evening I send a request of refund to your supportteam's email, nobody answers. I haven't had my money back. Please, pay my money back. I think you aren't operating in responsible way

Very lovely monastery and church. The audio guide was also good. Upon arrival, it was chaos and no assistance directing me where to start. For the volume of visitors, you'd expect better directors.
