The experience was very good. Check-in was very quick, and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The monastery is wonderful (culture, art, and history all in one place). I was fascinated.

Buying the tickets in advance best way to go, as purchasing tickets at the venue required standing in line at a booth far away from the entry. The Monestary at St Jeronimos defintely worth seeing!

It felt like stepping into a fairy tale: you reach the top of the hill, and suddenly you find yourself in front of a yellow and red castle. The whole thing is deliberately kitsch and eclectic, but that's what makes it so spectacular and irresistible. A romantic and somewhat surreal atmosphere, with views of the ocean and the whole of Sintra. It's a shame about the wind and the crazy cold, which prevented us from taking a walk in the gardens.

The visit was very interesting. We saw the whole stadium, even going to the field. It was the first time we had made such a visit inside the stadium. The museum is huge and beautifully kept

1/6

Ticket check and security screening

Start at the main entrance, where your tickets are scanned and you pass through a quick security check. Lines can get long during peak hours, so arrive a little ahead of time.

Explore the cloisters and monastery interiors

Step into the iconic two-level cloister. Wander through its Manueline arches, tranquil corridors, and sculpted stonework at your own pace. You can also explore adjoining halls, chapels, and exhibits depending on your ticket type.

Visit the Church of Santa Maria de Belém

Your next stop is the adjoining church (free entry, separate line). Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings, Vasco da Gama’s tomb, richly carved columns, and side chapels filled with maritime symbolism.

Join a guided visit

If you’ve booked a guided tour, your guide will bring the monastery’s Age of Discovery stories alive—from royal burials to architectural details and maritime symbolism you’d otherwise miss.

Stay until closing

The site becomes quieter late in the afternoon. If possible, stay until closing time to enjoy the cloisters without the crowds and take your time soaking in the details.

Tomb of Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa was a poet, author, philosopher, and translator who was a significant literary figure of the early 20th century. He is known as one of Portugal’s greatest poets. His tomb lies on the lower level of the Cloister of Jerónimos Monastery.

Tomb of Vasco da Gama

Jerónimos Monastery is located close to the point where Vasco da Gama (1468 - 1524) disembarked for his voyage to India. His successful discovery of a route to India in 1498 was one of the reasons why permission was granted to build this lavish Monastery. His remains were transferred to the Monastery 400 years after he died, it lays within the Church in the lower choir.

Tomb of Luis de Camoes

Poet and chronicler of the Age of Discovery, Luis de Camoes (1527 – 1580) tomb lies in the lower choir within the Church. He was considered one of the greatest Portuguese poet. His death anniversary, 10 June, is also celebrated as Portugal’s National Day.

South Facade and South Portal

The South Portal exterior of the Jerónimos Monastery, designed by Juan de Castillo, showcases Spanish Renaissance and plateresque architecture. Despite not being the main entrance, it's a significant feature, standing 32 meters high and 12 meters wide. The ornate portal includes a statue of Henry the Navigator, and scenes from the life of Saint Jerome depicted on the tympanum.

Cloister

The cloister’s design, ahead of its time, features rectangular columns and Plateresque-style ornamentation by Castilho. Richly decorated corner pillars and motifs such as the armillarium and coat-of-arms adorn the cloister. Inside, Manueline motifs with nautical, European, Moorish, and Eastern elements decorate the walls, reflecting Renaissance and Spanish architectural influences.

Chapter House

The high vaulted ceilings give a sense of inordinate height and space. In the center, lies the tomb of Alexandre Herculano. This room was completed only in the 19th century and is a fine example of late gothic architecture. It has 2 large windows, surrounded by detailed carvings. The entrance is flanked by the statue of St. Jerome and Archangel Michael.

Refectory

The Refectory was also completed by the first half of the 16th century during the reign of King Manuel I. Designed by Leonardo Vaz, it is classically Manueline with low vaulted ceilings. The lower walls of the Refectory are decorated with colorful azulejo tiles that depict the miracle of the bread and fish scenes in the New Testament and the scenes of the life of Joseph from the Old Testament.

High Choir

This room was completed by 1551 and was used by the Heironymite Monks in lieu of the Chapter Room since that was not yet complete. This room has huge, long windows that fill the room with light. At the entrance of the High Choir above the balustrade towers the magnificent statue of the crucified Christ in silver.

North and South Chapel of the Transept

The North and South Transept of the Church holds the royal tombs of the children of King Manuel I. The Royal Pantheon that holds the tombs of the Royal family is made up of the Main Chapel and the North, and South Chapels. The North and South Chapel of the Transept were commissioned by Queen Catherine of Austria. These are Mannerist in design and form a stark contrast to the rest of the church which is more ornate.

Visitor tips

There is always quite a crowd visiting this monument, so we recommend buying your tickets online to avoid the long queues.
Climb up to the Discoveries Monument, situated right next to the monastery, for a panoramic view of the city.
The Jerónimos Monastery is closed on Mondays, 1 January, Easter Sundays, 1 May, 13 Jun, and 25 December.
Access to the Church of Santa Maria de Belém is free and has a separate entrance on the right side of the complex. It's smart to visit the church first since crowds tend to grow thicker throughout the day. After visiting the church, you'll need to exit and join a different line for the monastery itself.
If you are visiting the Church, please wear modest clothes that cover your shoulders and knees.
When planning your visit to Jerónimos, you'll want to explore the surrounding Belém area, which is packed with fascinating attractions. Just be generous with your scheduling–between the potentially long queues and the monastery's captivating cloisters (where many visitors find themselves lingering longer than expected), it's best to keep your day's itinerary flexible.
Book the Lisbon Card for free entry to 50+ top attractions and unlimited public transport. It's perfect for first time explorers looking for value deals.
