[2025 Belem Attraction] Travel Guide for Jerónimos Monastery (Updated Mar)

#JapanFlightEvent I liked Portugal so much that I traveled there twice. I lived in Porto for a month and had a long trip, and I also had a long trip to Lisbon for 9 nights and 10 days. I'll recommend some places to visit in Lisbon and nearby cities that I've been to while traveling😍 If you're planning a trip to Portugal, especially Lisbon, be sure to read this:) 📍Places to visit in Lisbon - Miradouro de Santa Catarina / An observatory overlooking the Tagus River. It's hip because there are a lot of young people. - Praça do Comércio / If you go to Lisbon, you must visit the wide Praça do Comércio. The Augusta Street Arch Arco da Rua Augusta is a really cool square! - Santa Justa Elevator Elevador de Santa Justa / You can see the whole city of Lisbon at a glance. (6 euros, pay on site) - Alface Hall Jazz Bar / If I had to name the best place in Lisbon, it would probably be this jazz bar.. I went there every day during my two trips. - R. Augusta Street / This is a street that leads to Plaza de la Comécio, and there are many shops, souvenir shops, and delicious cafes. - Café da Garagem / A cafe with a really great view. The price of coffee is good value for the great view. Coffee + nata (egg tart) = about 4 euros. - Restaurante Cabaças / If you go to Lisbon, you should go to Cabaças every day... It's a local Portuguese restaurant with delicious steak!! There might be a wait, so go quickly!! - Miradouro das Portas do Sol Viewpoint / An observation deck with a great view of the orange rooftops of Europe! The pictures are also really pretty:) - Eduardo VII Park / It's the largest park in Lisbon. It's great for a leisurely walk. Dogs run around and it's a really relaxing place. - Tram photo zone: Bica - Lg. Calhariz A place where you can capture the Bica Line funicular view beautifully. It's especially famous for the tram number 28 view. / Elevador da Glória A steep alley that goes up to the Alcantara observatory! It's short, but you can see the funiculars going up and crossing each other. - Belem District: If you want to learn about Lisbon's history, you absolutely must visit the Belem District..! Make sure to set aside a day to visit. ✔️Recommended places / Tower of Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoveries of Belém, Pastéis de Belém (egg tarts are delicious..) 📍Recommended places near Lisbon - Cascais / I visited this place because I wanted to visit a special resort other than the places that everyone visits. It's a 30-40 minute train ride from downtown Lisbon. It's such a beautiful resort that locals go swimming every weekend. There's also a place where you can wash up, so you can get a tan and swim on the beach :) ✔️Recommended places: Praia da Rainha Beach, Pedra da Nau Cliff - Cabo da Roca: The land's end village of the Eurasian continent, Cabo da Roca! It's a 50 minute bus ride from Sintra & Cascais, so it's a good place to visit when you're traveling to Sintra or Cascais. It's the westernmost part of the continent, so it feels mysterious. The sea is also really pretty, so visit it when you travel to Lisbon! Lisbon is recommended for a leisurely trip, staying for 3 nights and 4 days at the shortest, or 5 nights and 6 days at the longest. It is a hip city with a different charm from Porto. If you are planning your first trip to Lisbon, Portugal this year, save it and refer to it🫶🏽 #Overseas travel #European travel #Travel plan #Lisbon #Lisbon travel #Lisbon attractions #Portugal #Portugal travel #europetrip #portugal #lisbon #lisboa

#2024TravelReview Lisbon's main attractions are concentrated in #Alfama and #Belem, each with its own unique characteristics. The oldest neighbourhood, Alfama is full of narrow alleys, old buildings and markets, perfect for exploring on foot or by tram, where you can soak up the history at every turn. The Belém district is close to the coast and is a witness to the Age of Discovery. It has classic attractions such as the Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoverers and the Jerónimos Monastery. For a three-day trip, it would be smoother and more comfortable to spend one day in Belém and two days in Alfama. ＊ I live near Fig Tree Square so I will arrange it this way for your reference. Day1: (Belen District) Breakfast: Casa das Bifanas Pork Chop Bun > Belem Tower > Monument to the Discoverers > Jerónimos Monastery > Casa Pastéis de Belém > MAAT Contemporary Art Museum > LX Factory > Ler Devagar Bookstore > Dinner: Bonjardim Early in the morning on the first day, we went to the century-old Casa das Bifanas for a classic Portuguese pork chop bun, which is the favorite breakfast choice of locals. After breakfast, we headed to the Belém district. The #BelemTower, standing on the banks of the Tagus River, was once an important symbol of Portugal’s glorious Age of Exploration. We just wanted to take some photos. Then ride an electric scooter to the #DiscoverersMonument, a 52-meter-high white stone monument that presents the image of a ship setting sail, symbolizing Portugal's leading position in the Age of Navigation. When you come here, don't forget to take the elevator inside the monument and climb to the top observation deck. Finally, we visited the #Jerónimos Monastery, a world cultural heritage site with exquisite Gothic architecture that is definitely worth a stop and a closer look. Then we came to LX Factory, a trendy cultural and creative base in Lisbon. This area converted from an old factory has become an art paradise where young people gather. There are shops with a strong sense of design and literary cafes here, and any photo taken here will look good. If you are a book lover, don’t miss Ler Devagar Bookstore, whose huge printing press and towering bookshelves are definitely a great place for everyone to take pictures. Finally, the day ended perfectly with a charcoal-grilled Portuguese roast chicken dinner from Bonjardim, a long-established restaurant in the city center. #Lisbon #Belem #LXFactory #PortugueseCuisine #TravelPortugal #DiscoverLisbon #FoodieTravels #PastéisDeBelém #Bonjardim #LisbonLandmarks #ArtAndCulture #LisbonInOneDay"

Lisboa, or Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a city that effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern vibrancy. Set across seven hills overlooking the sparkling Tagus River, Lisbon enchants visitors with its stunning architecture, rich history, and lively atmosphere. The heart of the city lies in its historic neighborhoods. Alfama, the oldest district, is a maze of narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the soulful sounds of fado music drifting from local taverns. From here, a climb up to São Jorge Castle rewards visitors with panoramic views of the city’s red-tiled rooftops and the river. In contrast, the Baixa district offers grand squares like Praça do Comércio, elegant boulevards, and bustling shops. Lisbon’s architectural wonders include the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower, both reflecting the city’s maritime heritage during the Age of Discoveries. A visit to Belém also means sampling the famous pastéis de nata (custard tarts) at Pastéis de Belém, a quintessential Lisbon experience. The city’s modern side shines in neighborhoods like Chiado and Bairro Alto, where trendy cafes, boutique stores, and vibrant nightlife thrive. For a contemporary twist, the Parque das Nações district offers innovative design and attractions like the Oceanário de Lisboa, one of Europe’s largest aquariums. Lisbon’s hills are best explored on the iconic tram 28, which winds through the city’s most picturesque streets. Evenings are perfect for riverside strolls or enjoying a glass of Portuguese wine at a miradouro (viewpoint) as the sun sets. Warm and welcoming, Lisbon’s charm lies in its balance of tradition and modernity. Its stunning vistas, rich cultural heritage, and laid-back vibe make it a destination that lingers in your heart long after you’ve left.

#solotrip Lisbon, with its warm climate, friendly locals, and easy-going vibe, is a fantastic #solotrip destination. The city’s hilly streets, charming trams, and vibrant neighborhoods make it perfect for solo wanderers. Start your day with a stroll through the Alfama district, where you can get lost in the maze of narrow streets, colorful tiles, and traditional Fado music echoing from cafes. Lisbon’s Belém area offers cultural highlights like the Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower, perfect for solo exploration. Lisbon is also a food lover’s paradise, so don’t miss the chance to indulge in pastel de nata (custard tarts) at a local bakery. With safe, walkable streets and affordable public transportation, solo travelers will find Lisbon an ideal place to explore at their own pace, blending adventure with relaxation.

I stayed in Lisbon for 3 days, including 2 full days and 2 half days. Although I didn't enjoy myself to the fullest, I have visited all the highlights. In summary, Lisbon is worth the money, with good food, fun and high cost performance‼ ️ Belem District: Jerónimos Monastery, Monument to the Discoverers, Belém Tower, and Belém Egg Tarts are must-visit spots. They are not far from each other and can be visited on foot. An afternoon is enough to visit them. Note⚠️The monastery is closed every Monday. We happened to be there on a Monday, so we could only take pictures outside. The building is very beautiful. Belem Tower is a good place to watch the sunset. Although the reviews of Belem egg tarts are mixed, I think they are delicious! I recommend experiencing the sunset sailing. It is really romantic to wait for the sunset on the sailing boat. The whole journey takes 1.5 hours, but don't go when it's cold. Come on, don't ask me how I know [Facepalm]. 🔹Old Town: Plan at least a full day to experience the citywalk in the old town, the colorful houses, the undulating slopes, every alley is picturesque, the Pica elevator, and the No. 28 tram are all beautiful scenery along the way. In April and May, you can still see jacaranda trees on the roadside, the purple color is so beautiful! I have previously written an article 📕 about a one-day tour guide to the old town, which you can refer to. 🔹Observation Deck: ✔️St. Lucia Observation Deck The free viewing platform near the cathedral has a good view of the red roofs. ✔️Saint George Castle Although it costs 15 euros🎫, it is located at the highest point and offers a 360° panoramic view of Lisbon. The view is better than other observation decks, and you can also watch the sunset. There are also many peacocks in the castle🦚 🔹Lisbon Surroundings: ✔️Cabo da Roca "The land ends here and the sea begins here", the westernmost point of the European continent, a must-see attraction, but the wind is really strong, don't wear a skirt! Most tourists check in near the stone monument and take photos and then go back, but I I recommend the hiking trail on the other side of the lighthouse. It is less crowded and has beautiful scenery. It is very stunning. ️ ✔️Azenhas do Mar A small town not far from Cape Roca. The town is small but beautiful. You can have dinner here and wait for a sunset. ✖️Hellmouth I kind of regret not coming here. We only planned to visit Cape Roca and Azenhas do Mar that day. I thought I would not have enough time, but after visiting it, I think I should have enough time to come here. 🍽️Food: Maria Catita and Solar 31 de Alfama in the old town are the restaurants where I felt I had no disappointments. Moinho Dom Quixote, not far from Cabo da Roca, has delicious food and great views. I strongly recommend that you come here to eat after visiting Cabo da Roca, but you will need to wait in line for a while. 🏨Accommodation: Dare Lisbon House Great B&B, good location, right near the Santa Justa elevator, next to the internet-famous seafood rice uma, there are many small shops to visit around, you can arrange half a day to buy souvenirs. 🚗Transportation: We used Bolt to take a taxi the whole way. We didn't want to waste time on traffic. It's very convenient to take a taxi. Moreover, it's not expensive to take a taxi in Portugal. It's recommended to take a taxi for 3-4 people. ️

Address: Praça do Império 1400-206 Lisboa, Portugal Opening hours: 09:30-18:00 Transportation: Tram, bus You can visit for free with the Lisbon Card. The carvings inside are beautiful and detailed. You can feel its solemnity when you walk in, but you need to queue up in the hot sun for a long time. Remember to wear sunscreen and drink water. #Good Places for Families #familytravel #Overseas Travel #Portugal #Lisbon

#wecreate The monastery itself is a work of art and definitely worth a visit. Once you arrive you will see two queues. The shorter one is typically for the church (free to visit) and the longer one will be for the monastery (you need to have a ticket). The monastery hosted the famous signing of the 2007 Treaty of Lisbon which was held in the cloister of the monument. The Lisbon card states you get fast track however, don’t be fooled, it just means you get the entrance, there isn’t a “fast-track” queue. We suggest you head over there first thing in the morning, the queue can be between 1-2h wait time at midday. #ExploreLisbon #TravelInspiration #MustVisitDestination #InstaWorthySpot #IconicMonastery #UnescoWorldHeritage

#wecreate The building is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome, it became the necropolis of the Portuguese royal dynasty of Aviz in the 16th century but was secularized on 28 December 1833. The church and the monastery, like the nearby Torre de Belém and Padrão dos Descobrimentos, symbolise the Portuguese Age of Discovery and are among the main tourist attractions of Lisbon. In 1983, UNESCO formally designated the Monastery of the Hieronymites and Tower of Belém as a World Heritage Site. #JerónimosMonastery #LisbonLandmark #ArchitecturalSplendor #HistoricalGem #CulturalTreasure #MonumentalBeauty #GothicMarvel #PortugueseHistory #ExploreLisbon #TravelInspiration

The Jeronimos Monastery is the most impressive symbol of Portugal's power and wealth during the Age of Discovery. King Manuel I built it in 1502 on the site of a hermitage founded by Prince Henry the Navigator, where Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night in Portugal in prayer before leaving for India. It was built to commemorate Vasco Da Gama's voyage and to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for its success. Vasco da Gama's tomb was placed inside by the entrance, as was the tomb of poet Luis de Camões, author of the epic The Lusiads in which he glorifies the triumphs of Da Gama and his compatriots. Other great figures in Portuguese history are also entombed here, like King Manuel and King Sebastião, and poets Fernando Pessoa and Alexandre Herculano. The monastery was populated by monks of the Order of Saint Jerome (Hieronymites), whose spiritual job was to give guidance to sailors and pray for the king's soul. It's one of the great triumphs of European Gothic (UNESCO has classified it a World Heritage monument), with much of the design characterized by elaborate sculptural details and maritime motifs. This style of architecture became known as "Manueline," a style that served to glorify the great "discoveries" of the age. #tripblazers

#celebratewithtrip Jeronimos Monastery was built in 1502 and located in Praca do Imperio 1400-206, Lisboa, and is open from Tuesday to Sunday 1000-1700, close on Monday. Take Tram Line 15 to alight at Mosteiro Jeronimos and you will see the Monastery. The cloisters are magnificent, with each column differently carved with coils of rope, sea monsters, and other sea motifs, evocative of that time of world exploration at sea. The church interior is spacious with octagonal piers decorated with reliefs, and outside the garden laid out in 1940 consisting of hedges cut in the shape of various municipal coats of arms of Portugal. The Jeronimos Monastery is one of the most visited sites in Lisbon, and it was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

It seems to be the first time to visit a monastery in Europe, because the Raiders found that the monastery called Jeronimos Monastery is very famous in Lisbon. Specially chose the team that thought that there might be fewer people but queued to buy tickets in the morning or scared me. Still early, although there are many people in the queue, but there are not many people coming in, you can take pictures in the hallway, but it may be because no one except me will do more in this corridor. Stay, many people just went straight. Right, there is no need to entangle the morning or afternoon to get the sun to come in. This corridor is all around, so it can be in the morning or afternoon. In fact, I don't know if anyone will entangle this problem. Anyway, I have been entangled for a long time before I came and I have checked a lot of information but no one mentioned it. . . The cathedral in the monastery is free, we chose to watch the church directly upstairs. It is said that in the 1755 earthquake, the whole of Lisbon was destroyed, but the church alone stood out. It is no wonder that this monastery and church are of great significance to Lisbon.

The Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) is located in the Belém district of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. It is a magnificent monastery and one of the most representative buildings in Portugal. The monastery was built in the 16th century in Portugal's Manueline architectural style, a perfect fusion of Renaissance and Gothic styles. The monastery is not only a religious place, but also a cultural and historical symbol, witnessing the glorious history of Portugal's Age of Navigation and exploration of the New World. For me, visiting the Jerónimos Monastery was an unforgettable experience that not only gave me a deep understanding of Portugal’s religious history, but also gave me a better understanding of Portuguese art and culture. Firstly, the architecture of the monastery itself is impressive. The exterior of the Jerónimos Monastery is famous for its exquisite carvings and magnificent structure, especially the fine porch on the front, which is ingeniously designed and beautifully carved. Whether it is the biblical stories depicted on it or the delicate patterns on the door frame, they all demonstrate the extraordinary skills of the artists at that time. The exterior walls of the monastery present a sense of magnificence, like a stone-carved art palace, which allows me to feel its unique atmosphere as soon as I enter the monastery. When you enter the monastery, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge nave. This space is tall and solemn, giving people a feeling of sacredness and tranquility. The nave ceiling is very striking, with its curved stone vaulting structure showing the essence of Gothic architecture. The design of the ceiling is simple yet powerful, giving people a sublime visual effect. The marble and exquisite patterns on the floor also make this space more magnificent. Walking into this space, I can feel the peaceful atmosphere where the monks prayed silently in the past, as if I had gone back in time to hundreds of years ago, when the believers and monks at that time spent countless days and nights here, dedicating their lives to faith and religion. What impressed me most in the monastery was the design of the church. The church of the Jerónimos Monastery combines Gothic spire structure and Manueline decorative elements, which complement each other and present a unique artistic style. The interior of the church has a towering dome, surrounded by magnificent stone columns and with many exquisite carvings and reliefs. These works not only have religious connotations, but also contain historical symbols of Portugal's exploration of the New World. In particular, the statues of the Virgin Mary, saints and depictions of biblical stories inside the church made me feel the devout faith and awe of God of the people of that era. In addition to the charm of the building itself, the Jerónimos Monastery is also an important witness to Portuguese history. The founding of this monastery is closely linked to the Portuguese Age of Discovery. The monastery was built by order of King Manuel I of Portugal as a token of gratitude for the protection of the gods and to commemorate Portugal's great achievements in overseas exploration. At that time, Portuguese navigators such as Vasco da Gama set out from this port and opened up a route to India. This historical event had a profound impact on world history. There are many historical relics in the monastery commemorating these great navigators and their voyages, which makes the monastery not only a symbol of religion but also a witness to Portugal’s maritime history. Among them, Vasco da Gama's tomb is located in the monastery's church. This touched me deeply because it is not only a commemoration of the great Portuguese navigators, but also a symbol of Portugal's former dominant position in the global maritime industry. Standing in front of Vasco da Gama's tomb, I couldn't help but imagine how he led the Portuguese sailing team to overcome numerous difficulties in the difficult environment at that time, discovered the route to India, and brought huge economic benefits and global influence to Portugal. The surroundings of the Jerónimos Monastery are also very charming. The monastery is located in the Belém district, an area that has many famous landmarks such as the Torre de Belém and the Monument to the Discoverers, both of which are closely related to Portugal's maritime history. After leaving the monastery, I came to the nearby Belém Gardens, where the lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere allowed me to feel the unique cultural charm of Portugal at the intersection of history and nature. In summary, the Jerónimos Monastery is not only a building of religious significance, but also a valuable heritage of Portuguese history and culture. The architectural art and interior decoration of this monastery are amazing, and the historical significance it carries is even more shocking. If you come to Lisbon, the Jerónimos Monastery is definitely a must-see attraction. Whether you are interested in history, religion, art or sailing, you can find valuable experiences here.

The Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon is a captivating destination that enchanted me with its rich history and stunning architecture. Built in the late 15th century, this UNESCO World Heritage site exemplifies the Manueline style, characterized by intricate stone carvings and maritime motifs that reflect Portugal's Age of Discovery. One of the most fascinating aspects of the monastery is its historical significance. It was constructed to honor Vasco da Gama's successful voyage to India, symbolizing the era of exploration that defined Portugal's maritime legacy. Inside, I found the tombs of notable figures like da Gama and the celebrated poet Luís de Camões, which added depth to my experience. The architectural beauty of the Jerónimos Monastery is equally mesmerizing. The ornate façade, with its intricate details and majestic towers, draws my eye, while the serene cloisters offer a tranquil escape. The details always caught my attention, especially the pillars. They are adorned with elaborate carvings that incorporate maritime motifs, such as ropes, shells, and plants. These elements symbolize Portugal's rich history of exploration and seafaring, connecting the structure to the Age of Discovery. The design of the pillars often includes natural forms, such as vines and leaves, merging architectural and organic elements. This harmonious integration reflects the Renaissance fascination with nature and beauty, creating a serene atmosphere within the cloisters. Additionally, the monastery's location in the Belém district, near the Tagus River, enhances its allure. The surrounding area is rich in cultural attractions, including the iconic Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries, making it a perfect starting point for exploring Lisbon's history. In essence, the Jerónimos Monastery captivates me with its blend of architectural grandeur, historical importance, and serene beauty, making it a must-visit for anyone drawn to Portugal's illustrious past.

Jerónimos Monastery really is a monastic marvel! A Gothic masterpiece dating from the 1500s. The monastery along with the nearby Belem Tower are UNESCO world Heritage sites. The monastery stonework and the intricate carving is spellbinding and the more you look the more you see! If you’re planning on visiting Lisbon in 2025 the Jerónimos Monastery is a must. I recommend getting to the monastery early as the queues can become very long later in the day. And while you’re in the area visiting the monastery, make sure you take the time to pop into Pastéis de Belém to try their authentic custard tarts. The monastery can be reached easily by public transport from Lisbon city centre. #getgoing2025 #portugal #jerónimosmonastery #lisbon #portugal

#getgoing2025 Belém is the southwesternmost district of Lisbon. Far from the city center, but easily accessible, this neighborhood is located at the mouth of the River Tagus. Portugal’s various explorers set sail from this part of town to other parts of the world and brought back riches and their many discoveries. Belém houses two incredibly famous landmarks. The 1️⃣ is Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) and the 2️⃣ is Belém Tower (Torre de Belém). In addition, travelers will also enjoy exploring the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos), the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the National Coach Museum. Another must when visiting Belém is to stop at Pastéis de Belém, which used to be a small shop attached to a sugar cane refinery, to try its pastéis de Belém, a typical and delicious Portuguese egg tart pastry or custard tarts invented in this small shop in 1837. #portugal #belemtrip #thingstodo #travel #myitinerary #localfood #europa
