Monastery - It’s a beautiful monastery inside and out side. Very peaceful & serene place. But the down side is even if you have purchased a ticket in advance , there is no separate Q for the ticket holders. You have to stand with crowed waiting to buy tickets. The Q is very huge and better to go early even though it moves fast. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the church as it was closed for some religious ceremony and only opens after few hours, by the time you finish the tour of monastery. If you have another tour booked on same day it’s impossible to wait for the church to open. But we enjoyed the beautiful blue sky & sunshine around the monastery.

St jeriomes monastery lisbon - The church and cloisters are very impressive. However our ticket was only required for the cloisters as the church is free to enter . Also this was not a skip the line ticket as we still had to queue!

Enjoyed the Monastery, not the line ! - We enjoyed touring the Monastery quite a bit. Very serene and beautiful. Ultimately it was well worth the wait. That said, we purchased these tickets for a specific time at 9:30am, which was the first tour of the day. We had read other reviews, and took previous advice to take the earliest tour. The line, however, was not organized by tour time, as other venues are. Turns out, we could have purchased tickets for any time on that day, and it would not have mattered, as there was only one line. We arrived around 9:30am per our pre-purchased tickets and there was already a pretty long line. We ended up waiting 90 minutes to get in. Can't imagine how long others behind us waited, there honestly must have been 500+ people behind us. My feedback to the company we bought these tickets from: you need to tell people to show up at the Monastery no later than 9am, recommend 8:30! There is no point to offering time slots, because they don't honor whatever time you purchased. Also, there are TWO lines, one for the church, and the other for the Monastery itself. The church is a quick in and out, and if you accidentally get in that line, you can't go to the Monastery without getting in the back of that line! We saw people make that mistake. In summary, get there 30-60 minutes before they open, and make dang sure you're in the right line! All things the tour operator should tell you when buying the ticket!

St J - This was a huge monastery, with very large rooms and very interesting architecture, but we have seen so many different museums and things. This did not stand out and you had to wait in a huge line even with buying tickets online beforehand . there are too many people traveling it’s not fun when you have to wait in long lines so if you want to wait in line go see it but it’s huge place with a bunch of big empty rooms

Unimpressive and overpriced - Overpriced. Long queue. Outside looks impressive but when you get in very little to see. Was quoted in Aus $ but charged in Euros and was unable to cancel.

Disappointed by this first experience - reserving the ticket was of no use to us given that we still had to stand in the single queue (more than an hour). We were not able to visit the church which was closed to visitors due to the celebration of a wedding.
