Buying guide
For the best value, the Lisboa Card is the top choice as it covers the Monastery, public transport, and dozens of other sites. If you want to minimize wait times and gain historical context, a guided tour is recommended, as licensed groups often use a dedicated entrance that bypasses the longest general admission queues.
The Lisboa Card provides free entry to the Monastery cloisters and covers all city transport, offering the best overall savings for a multi-day trip.
Compare offers ↓Guided tours typically use a separate group entrance, which is significantly faster than the standard pre-booked ticket line during peak hours.
Compare offers ↓This hosted option bundles the Monastery with São Jorge Castle, simplifying logistics for these high-demand sites.

Use the cloister entrance for the paid monastery visit; the Church of Santa Maria de Belém has separate access and visiting hours. The official cloister hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 9:30 AM–5:30 PM, with last entry at 5:00 PM; the ticket office closes at 4:30 PM. The church is open Tuesday–Saturday, 10:30 AM–5:00 PM, and Sundays and religious holidays, 2:00–5:00 PM. Timed or pre-booked entry does not remove security or access controls, so check the voucher instructions and allow time to find the correct entrance.
The official regular ticket is €18. Current seller rows also show €18 entry products, plus visible options priced from €29 to €56 with titles indicating audio-guide, walking-tour, transport, or bundle elements. Compare the final checkout total, cancellation terms, meeting instructions, and inclusions before paying; a higher price does not by itself establish a shorter queue or broader access. The Church of Santa Maria de Belém has separate access from the ticketed cloister visit.
The official ticket policy lists free admission for children up to and including 12 years old, disabled visitors and one companion, and several other documented eligibility groups. A valid, current proof document may be required at the ticket office or validation point. The regular-ticket discount is 50% for visitors aged 65 or older, visitors aged 13–24 inclusive, and adult-plus-minor tickets. Residents in Portugal can access 37 participating museums and monuments free on 52 days per year, on any day of the week, with a Citizen Card. The Church of Santa Maria de Belém has separate access and visiting hours from the cloister. Check the official terms for the exact ticket or proof requirement for your category.
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
No ticket removes the mandatory security and capacity-control line. 'Skip-the-line' tickets bypass the physical ticket office queue, which can save 30–45 minutes, but you must still join the line for pre-booked ticket holders.
Yes, the Church is free to enter and houses the tomb of Vasco da Gama. However, it has a separate entrance and queue from the paid Cloisters; visiting both usually requires queuing twice.
Yes, the Lisboa Card provides free entry to the Cloisters. You join the dedicated line for ticket/card holders, though you may still need to have your card scanned or validated at the entrance.
Large backpacks, suitcases, and bulky items are prohibited, and there are no storage lockers on-site. Use a third-party luggage storage service in the Belém district before arriving at the gates.
No, the Monastery is closed every Monday. It also closes on January 1st, May 1st, Easter Sunday, June 13th, and December 25th.
Yes, children aged 12 and under enter for free but still require a 'zero-cost' ticket for capacity tracking. Most online sellers allow you to add these to your cart during the booking process.
Arriving at 9:30 AM on a weekday is the most effective way to beat the crowds. Alternatively, visiting after 3:30 PM often sees shorter lines as the large tour groups begin to depart.
