What travelers are saying
- boruthedogCo Kildare194 contributionsA truly magnificent building in Belém with gorgeous cloisters on two levels. It is covered on the highly recommended Lisbon card which allows you access to various buildings and attractions over a time period. chosen by yourself.
Around the cloisters or other rooms to explore and a church next door which unfortunately was closed at the time of my visit.
It is a short walk to the Belém tower so you can do both while you are visiting the area which is a fairly straightforward half an hour tram ride from the old part of Lisbon.Written January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And then they have the museum next door. it is completely over the top, which is what they loved to do when this country was so rich.Written November 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ClairehomeW8London, UK17 contributionsWe caught a Tram to Graca and walked down to the Monestary - very impressive and imposing exterior. Luckily we managed to catch up with the beginning of a guided tour which was excellent. There were so many different rooms to see with the most amazing ceiling paintings, tiles, tombs of Portugese Royalty and others. The guide (as we joined late I didn't get her name) was excellent. A fount of knowledge and so enthusiastic about her subject she was one of the best guides I've had. As well as the tour (about 2 -21/2 hours there were stand-alone exhibitions. Views from the upper terrace were amazing and so too for the 360 view from the tower (so my partner said, couldn't join him as too high for me!)

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,884 contributionsMy heart sings in this area. It is my favorite largo, or square, in town. We came here with friends for a simple dinner and sat outside under the trees. Some important historic buildings here as well as a big museum. So lots of charm and lots of history. We've spent many hours here just relaxing.Written November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA18,884 contributionsA big church at the monastery on the top of one of the hillsides. The street car runs in front of it. Inside you will find some magnificent ceramics, some ornate altars.Written December 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nickuzhovMississauga, Canada56 contributionsThis is a textbook example of the 'hidden gem' cliché. The place is now a museum with decent working hours, and not how it was described in a 2019 review. The ticket includes a guided tour, which in this case really adds to the visit. You are certain to beat the crowds, and perhaps be the sole visitor(s).Written January 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zubayda ACradley Heath, UK5 contributionsThe Mosque was beautiful and accomodating for ladies. Only negative remark is the toilet was not people friendly, bad smells from drainage, no toilet roll and good be kept better (only reason I had to go for a 4). Wudhu facilities were nice though!
Food downstairs was amazing, got the steak and grilled chicken. Definitely a must.Written September 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Lisbon Panorama is worth the entrance fee alone. The serenity of the site is so lovely. Well worth half a day in Lisbon.Written August 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BradHong Kong, China180,185 contributionsThere are many interesting churches to visit in Lisbon, this one being just across the street from the popular Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara in Bairro Alto. This convent was only opened to tourists in 2014 and can be visited from 2pm to 6pm (Mondays) and 10am to 6pm (Tues to Sun).
Historically, the convent was founded in 1670 and the church building you see today is Baroque in style. Interestingly, it was only slightly damaged during the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
The Chapel of the Lencastres which you enter to the right just before the main entrance is made of marble and is a delight to see, as is the high alter in the main church building. However, what leaves a deep impression are the walls which are lined with azulejo tiled panel scenes that are really beautiful to view while visiting the church.
If you plan to visit and spend time at Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, it is well worth crossing the street to see Convento de Sao Pedro de Alcantara, allow yourself at least 10-15 minutes to view this beautiful church.Written June 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A beautiful neoclassical church with baroque decorations. The main facade of the church is crowned with a triangular pediment. Work on its construction began around May 1760, and the first ceremony was celebrated on September 3, 1760. Its white dome, although smaller in size, is reminiscent of another Lisbon church, the Estrela Basilica.It has a marble-clad interior, a small chapel, and the tomb of Marquês de Pombal, the 18th-century leader responsible for the rebuilding of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake. Worth a visit, if you nearby.Written June 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- belgianguy1Bruges, Belgium13,411 contributionsOne of the lesser visited viewpoints in Lisbon (there are just too many I guess) but nevertheless worth the hike up, good views over the rooftops, especially on a sunny day, with a couple of benches to relaxWritten February 26, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
