this is a really beautiful and breath-taking building and is definitely a must-see in lisbon. tram 15 goes to belem as does 28 from cais do sodre. we went to belem early in the morning before everything was open - but were rewarded by discovering the pasteis de belem which were delicious! there was a queue developing when we returned...

We went on a Sunday morning and the church was occupied at times with service, so we spent our time in the cloister, which is a beautiful building (I think the cloister has an admission fee, but it was free on Sunday).

Ok inside, not spectacular in any way, the outside is more intricate and beautiful. The courtyard is nice and worth a visit.

The courtyard and cathedral at this fantastic monument are a real must-see if in Lisbon. Take tram 15 from the Praca de Comercial or Rue de Figueria about a 25 min journey. Free access with the lisboa card. 1-2 hour visit depending on how long you linger. What a shame about the shockingly poor and grumpy guy on the front...

"Mosteiro dos Jeronimos" was the highlight our our visit to Lisbon. The architecture and the wall carving were truly amazing. Worth spending a good hour or two to just walk around the building looking at the work. The chapel is beautiful as well.
The "Monument of Discoveries" across the road is nice and so is the Belem Tower. A must...

This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must see in Belem! Within the walls, the breath-taking Manueline ornate architectural design with wide arches, beautiful staircases and open inspirational spaces encourage a silent, contemplating meditation. Make sure to have time to stroll slowly around this historical site.
Beautiful, wide sidewalks, other historical sites and nice park all in the same area....

You will be impressed by the beauty of this picturesque architectural Lisbon symbol! Not only the outside but the inner garden architecture is what mostly made me make a long and joyful tour through the monastery corridors. It is a good example of the Manueline style, so uncharacteristic for Lisbon, especially found in the part of the city named Belem......

We took the #15 tram to Belem from Praca de Figueria. If you have a Lisboa card your transportation is free. The monastery is free but the cloisters have an admission fee. I think the cloisters is included in the Lisboa card or it is greatly reduced but going to the cloisters is a must see. The church interior is...
