Hotels near Jeronimos Monastery, Lisbon

Worth the visit! Go early to avoid lines and crowds. And remember to get your fresh from oven nata (custard) from the local bakery famed for the secret recipe monks used. No joke, we probably made the trip here for that as much as the monastery.

One of my favorite sights in Lisbon -- this is a must-see. The architecture is gorgeous! Because it's very popular, you do need to plan ahead and get your tickets early, so you are not spending too much time in line.

Not usually a Church/Relic fan, and although disappointed that so much of the added architecture is relatively new (late 1800's) it is still well worth a visit....be warned one loo for several hundred people, which is typical of many Portuguese tourist sites!

buy tickets in the internet. Nice PAstel in Pastelaria the Belem and you must try it, but IMHO better are in Pastry Santo António R. Milagre de Santo António 10, 1100-351 Lisboa, Portugalia near st Jorge castle

We were there at the end of the day. The line to get in was quite short at that time. Still had time to see the parts of the monastery that were not closed for renovations or refurbishments. The size of the Monastery allows the crowds to be dispersed so you can take plenty of shots without strangers in them. Easy to visit the monastery and Belem Tower in the same day.
