Mosteiro dos Jerónimos Monastery in Belem, Portugal

#1月好去地方2025

There are many tourist attractions in the suburban "Belem District" less than 30 minutes away from Lisbon. In addition to the famous Maritime Monument, Belem Tower, and the original Portuguese egg tart shop, there is also the popular attraction "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos Monastery" which always has a long queue.

The reason why the monastery is so popular is because of the building itself, which is a fusion of the Arab Moorish style and the Portuguese Manueline style. It uses golden limestone as the building material. In the main building of the spires and arcades, a large number of natural elements of the great voyages are used to decorate it, making the monastery more simple and vast.

The Jerónimos Monastery is not only an important landmark in the Age of Discovery, but also the final resting place of King Manuel I of Portugal. It is also the birthplace of Portuguese egg tarts and is well worth a visit.

The entrance ticket is €10, and you can exchange your ticket for free with a Lisbon Card. It is recommended to purchase a package that includes the Belém Tower for €12, which allows you to visit these two representative attractions of the Belém district together, which are quite good for taking photos.
