We curate the best ways to experience

Quick overview

  • Ways to visit: Timed entry to the monastery, a self-guided tour with audio guides, expert-led tours with skip-the-line entry, and combos with nearby gems.
  • What’s paid: You get full access to the entire compound of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the cloisters, chapter house, royal tombs, museum sections and more.
  • Worship vs sightseeing: The Church of Santa Maria de Belém has a separate, free entrance; services restrict tourist movement during prayer.
  • Queues & security: Expect long lines (often 1–3 hours in summer); all visitors have to go through an airport-style bag check, even those with skip-the-line entry. The best way to avoid crowds is to book the earliest morning slots; afternoons see the longest entry lines.
  • When to book: Timed tours and combos sell early; book weeks ahead in high season (October-March).
  • Dress code: Shoulders and knees must be covered for church areas; headwear is not allowed unless for religious/ cultural/ medical reasons.
  • Best upgrade: The Skip-the-line guided tour helps you beat the queues and is led by an expert who reveals all the symbolism of Manueline motifs hidden in the architectural details.

Tomb of Fernando Pessoa
1/9

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 and is one of the many reasons why the monastery is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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, and it lies 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 poets. His death anniversary, June 10, 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 hold 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 Chapels 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.
