What to expect

  • Chapter House and Refectory: Discover the chapter house and refectory, each featuring unique vaulted ceilings and decorative elements that highlight the monastery’s architectural innovation.

To stay protected and hydrated, bring a hat and water, as summer temperatures can rise above 25ºC.

Strict dress code: Off-shoulder tops, dresses, and knee-high shorts are not recommended. Visitors are not allowed to photograph some parts of the monastery. Keep in mind that food, beverages, large bags, or backpacks are not allowed on this experience.

The lower level is wheelchair accessible, but some areas have cobblestones and can be tricky to navigate. Wheelchairs are available for rent at the entrance.

Going with the upgrade? The audio guide will be accessible via an app. Download instructions will be shared with your ticket. Just make sure to pack your headphones! The church is a part of Jerónimos Monastery and offers free entry, but you must join a separate line to enter. The monastery is a crowd-puller, and wait times can stretch to 2 hours during peak hours. Plan smart: arrive early and book tickets online in advance. To avoid the rush hour madness, we recommend the guided tour with 9:30am priority access. Entry is free for Portugal residents on Sundays and public holidays, which often leads to larger crowds. If possible, plan your visit on another day. The Jerónimos Monastery remains closed on Monday, January 1, Easter Sunday, May 1, and December 25.
