Jerónimos Monastery | UNESCO World Heritage site

Built over a century starting in 1501, the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon is a stunning example of Portuguese architecture. This UNESCO World Heritage site took a hundred years to complete. It represents the age of discovery, a time when most of the world was unknown. Funded by King Manuel I, it housed Hieronymite monks who prayed for sailors' safety on voyages. Decorated with maritime motifs, the monastery reflects Portugal's maritime history.

Plan Your Visit to Jerónimos Monastery

Things to know before booking your Jerónimos Monastery tickets

  • Tickets for peak season (October to March) can sell out well in advance – if this is when you are planning to visit, book at least two months ahead. 
  • During peak season, lines at Jerónimos can stretch around the block, with wait times up to 2-3 hours. Book your tickets online to skip the lengthy queue for buying tickets and get there just before opening time to beat the crowds at the security check.
  • Entry to the Jeronimos Monastery is free for residents of Portugal on Sundays and public holidays, but we recommend visiting on Monday or Tuesday to avoid huge crowds. 
  • For weekend visits, try to arrive right at opening time or after 2pm when the crowds thin out.
  • You can choose between: basic entry or combo deals that include other popular nearby attractions like Belém Tower, São Jorge Castle, and Pena Palace. If you are in Lisbon for the first time and planning to visit multiple sites, combo deals are a great way to maximize time and value.
  • Opting for a guided tour can significantly elevate your experience, they offer fast-track entry plus insights into the art, architecture, and stories behind the landmarks. But if you prefer to explore at your own pace, audio guides are a flexible alternative.
  • Are you looking for a more in-depth Belém experience? Book the Belém walking tour, covering the rich history of Jerónimos monastery, the area, and nearby landmarks.
  • Get more bang for your buck in Lisbon! The Lisbon Card includes free transport and entry to must-sees like Jeronimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and Quinta da Regaleira.
  • 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.
  • Parts of the monastery have cobblestone flooring, which can be tricky for wheelchairs. 
  • The audio tour requires a relatively recent smartphone – Android 5.0+ or newer iOS devices (it won't work on Windows phones or older Apple devices).
  • 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.
