Therewas no problem meeting up with the guide. - the 'finding the guide' instructions were clear and accurate. The guide was excellent. He had the necessary information at his 'finger tips'. He was patient and responded to all questions. He was able to expound on the information in an interesting and often a humourous way.

The lisboa card is a good solution that allows you to get around the city and see various attractions while also often skipping the ticket booth line. It's just too bad that pickup is tied to a physical operator and daytime office hours, if you arrive at night you will pick it up the next day.

The ticket for the palace The ticket for the palace was the same one you get with the app, so it's very easy to access. However, the Lisbon Card was more complicated because the downtown offices closed at lunchtime, which was the time we arrived. However, there was no problem getting it later.

All round amazing experience! I must admit I was sceptical about not buying tickets through the official palace website - but we had no issues what so ever! We were even 30mins late due to a public transport delay. They were very accommodating and it was no drama at all! I had read prior that the inside of the palace wasn't worth visiting but I completely disagree, we are on the final leg of our 6week Europe trip and have been inside many many castles, we agree that this was the best one so far! Both inside and out and we are glad we did both the park and the palace! 100% will be booking with headout again. Cannot recommend enough.

The palace and surrounding area were great. I was really impressed by the palace. The views are so amazing. I'm very happy that we bought the ticket for the team/bus from the park entrance to the palace. The incline of the hill to the palace is substantial. Also, you have 30 minutes from entry time on your ticket to get into the palace. So, if your ticket says 1pm... You must make it into the palace by 1:30. If you arrive at 1:10, go to the front of the line that is likely formed waiting to get in, because most of the people in that line are probably there for a 2pm entry. Just go to the front of the line and ask the ticket taker if you can go in. Don't wait in the line and miss your time slot. Also, we nearly got scammed, so do fall for this... There is a road that winds through Sintra, up the mountain, to the park. That road goes all the way to the park entrance and there is parking there. About 75% of the way up the road it comes to a T. There was a guy there telling people that private cars aren't allowed to go left (to the park) and they must go right. Don't go right! It's a scam. Going right routes you down a one way road away from the park and the scammers try to park you on the side of the road and con you into paying $20 a person to take a tuk tuk up to the park entrance. Don't fall for it.

Bought tickets to Pena Palace while in Lisbon and taxied to the town. Once there found that there were too many add ons once at the site. Ie; extra bus rides, other tour sites. There were many visitors there the day we went and found the interior tour boring due to length of time shuffling people through the two floors. Would skip that tour the next time. The old town visit part way down the hill after the castle was a highlight for us. Took the train back to what we thought as Lisbon but due to no visitor help at the station ended up on the wrong train.

Had no problems with the tickets. Something came up for our group so we got there later than planned and couldn't enter the actual palace. It was still a great experience just enjoying the terraces and taking lovely photos. We actually wished we'd paid for the park only as we didn't feel like we'd missed much, not entering the palace.

An enjoyable day in the company of Paulo SILVA who is a very professional guide and ensures that everyone gets the most out of the tour. I gave 4 stars because the description of the visit to the castle gardens is ambiguous. In fact, the most beautiful gardens don't belong to Pena Palace, but to other castles not included in the tour.

The highlight of my visit was being able to find parking at the entrance to the garden after almost being scammed by the Tuk Tuk guys at the bottom of the hill. Luckily a local waived his finger to warn me not to park where guy was telling me to go. Garden was nice to hike up though on the sunny day. We did notice Giant Hogweed growing near path which is dangerous to touch though. The palace was amazing and the views are the best we have seen.

Very comfortable purchase and excellent experience. The palace and grounds are wonderful. The only downside is that the high number of visitors makes it a long wait before entering and also a bit forced to visit the interiors, which follows a bit of a processional rhythm, everyone proceeding at the same time and not much way to linger. Overall, however, very positive experience! As for the park, immense, full of surprises and tiring to get around (but absolutely worth it)

Enjoyed the design and stonework of the monastery but found the tour was really just seeing the Cloister from each level with a minimal number of rooms open to view and understand the use of the Monastery. The Chapel also unfortunately had restoration scaffolding up at the altar and blocked most of that end of it. These thing plus the long lines lessened the experience.

Top things to do in Lisbon

Jerónimos Monastery | The UNESCO listed Belem Monastery

Built over a century starting in 1501, the Monastery of Jerónimos 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. 
  • Roam the monastery freely with a basic ticket and if you're curious about the history, the multilingual audio guide is a great add-on.
  • For a richer experience, go for the English guided tour. They include fast-track entry plus expert insights into the art, architecture, and history of Jeronimos Monastery.
  • Want to go beyond just visiting Jerónimos? The Belém walking tour brings the whole area to life, from the monastery’s past to the stories behind nearby landmarks.
  • Get more bang for your buck! The Lisbon Card includes free transport and entry to must-sees like Jeronimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and Quinta da Regaleira.
  • The Jerónimos Monastery + São Jorge Castle combo gives you access to two of Lisbon’s most popular landmarks at a lower price than buying separate tickets. If you’re planning to stay in Alfama a while longer, consider the 3-in-1 combo ticket instead—it also includes Lisbon Cathedral, located just a 5-minute walk from São Jorge Castle.
  • If you’re planning a trip to Sintra, the Jerónimos Monastery + Pena Palace combo ticket is a smart choice. It lets you visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, one in Lisbon and one in Sintra, on the same or different days, depending on your itinerary.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.
