What travelers are saying
- Rochelle FRandolph, NJ1,196 contributionsFrom Torre Belem, we walked to the Discovery Monument (5 minutes) and walked around the outside as it is closed for construction. There is an underpass right there to cross over the train tracks to the Monstery. We bought tickets in advance and the audio (a waste of money for that). The tickets get you into the cloisters which we wandered through. Interesting architecture. For the church entrance there is a separate line - at one point it was empty so we went in to see it (also under construction).
A major site in Belem so we went to see it.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Museum part was also interesting with a lot of vases and more. It's also a big area so it isn't very crowded. However outside of it there is a huge line of people wanting to buy a ticket and it was also kind of expensive. But apart from that it is perfect.Written December 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JeffCardiff, UK24 contributionsTicket office is at the entrance so you can see the que before paying. 50 % discount for the over 65. Inside the main chamber you can look up into the dome and visit the 4 corners which honour famous portugeuse people ranging from Vasco De Gama to Eusabio the footballer.
You can then climb the stairs to the roof which are fairly open with hand rails, theres a lot of them. Once on the roof you have a spectacular panoramic view of lisbon. Also you can look down into the main chamber and admire the architecture.
Quite an uphill trek from the Santa Apolonia metro and its not signposted.
Well worth a visit and worth every step.Written January 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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!)

- AmyPearland, TX104 contributionsMy daughter and I visited Frontiera Palace and bought tickets at the door. We did the English tour with Teresa. What an experience! The palace is beautiful and Teresa was very thorough in explaining what we were looking at and its relevance to history. She made the palace come alive! There are many rooms and interesting artifacts to explore. The outside is just as grandiose and symbolic as the inside. Teresa showed us her favorite elements inside and out and we felt educated afterwards. I recommend a visit for the tiles alone, but the rest is amazing too! I recommend this tour with five stars!Written December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lookingforanswersMontreal, Canada286 contributionsWe had a few hours to kill and looked for a museum in the Belem area and stumbled upon this museum. I found the price a little steep at 10 euros as the museum is quite small but we did get to see some beautiful pieces.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,905 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.
- AnthonyNew York City, NY1,103 contributionsThe ruins of this church are adjacent to the Santa Justa lift and is a nice stop if you have time and are in the area. The main part of the cathedral is open air, but the ceiling is still intact in the rear part. There are free toilets close to the entrance and a very small gift shop.Written December 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JeffCardiff, UK24 contributionsTicket office is at the entrance so can see the que before buying the ticket. Exibits historical artefacts with lots of tiled fables (over 100) which are interesting and amusing to read giving food for thought on your daily life. If you wish you can get to the roof by steps which are open and wide with hand rails and enjoy the panoramic view.
Worth visting but quite an uphil trek from the nearby metro.Written January 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She is more than a star in Portugal, sort of a goddess. This museum is in her Lisbon home and it is interesting to see how she lived, her kitchen, her clothes, her furniture. And it is a lovely house.Written December 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuizDutraNetoRio de Janeiro, RJ8,560 contributionsAt Lisbon's trendy "Campo de Ourique" quarter and not far from its famous "Mercado de Campo de Ourique", stands "Casa Fernando Pessoa". It is a small museum honoring one of the most important poets of Portugal and of the Portuguese language, Fernando Pessoa. He lived his last 15 years with his family at this very building. As far as possible, the Museum tries to re-create the original atmosphere - his room, his typewriter, his books ... Visiting "Casa Fernando Pessoa" may be a very touching experience for all those that have learned to love his poems and books. As a Brazilian, Fernando Pessoa is part of my student fond memories ... Just at the back of the Museum, "Flagrante Delitro" can be a nice option for lunch, a glass of wine or simply for a warm expresso coffee. A perfect combination: "Casa Fernando Pessoa" + "Flagrante Delitro"! Enjoy!Written March 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- belgianguy1Bruges, Belgium13,411 contributionsThis church is standing on a hill with an excellent viewpoint right next to it, with sweeping views over the city in general and the castle in particular...I only could check out the exterior of the church, it was unfortunately locked :-(Written February 25, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Liltrave1,584 contributionsVisited this small memorial, it is located in front of the church & area where the slaughter of almost 4,000 Jewish people was held. There is also another small memorial right in the area with a tree that was planted from Israel. It took over 500 years for this to be placed, we were told by our tour guide this information but you can read more details on line. Would like it to have also been in English as a lot of high points of interest are.Written June 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,905 contributionsIt's a gorgeous building on the Restauradores Square and we have walked past it many times admiring the beauty. Not sure how one can get in. It is an obvious palace very much to see on this square.Written December 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Malgorzata12,077 contributionsThe House of Ferreira das Tabuletas was built in 1864 on the site of the extinct Convento da Santíssima Trindade by Manuel Moreira Garcia, a Galician capitalist with strong Masonic beliefs. Tiled wall by the painter Luís António Ferreira, better known as Luís das Tabuletas, hence the name of the house. The tiled composition completely fills the space of the three upper floors, perfectly integrating with the architectural structure , creating effects of great depth and rich colors. It is one of the most original decorations in the exterior of Lisbon architecture,which combines Masonic symbols associated with the ideals of the owner, with the eye of providence with various allegories. It is original in the integration of false architectural elements such as niches with human figures . This human figures represents land, water, industry and commerce, agriculture and science. Really beautifully decorated facade .Written January 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
