    A must-visit landmark in Lisbon! • The Architecture: It is absolutely stunning, and every corner of the cloisters makes for a great photo. The details in the stone carvings are beautiful. • Size: While it was incredibly gorgeous, the overall size of the main cloister area was a bit smaller than I had expected. • Tip: It’s highly recommended to buy tickets in advance and visit early to beat the crowds. It lives up to its reputation and is definitely worth seeing!

    That's an incredibly impressive Monastery. You may think you have seen it all and all of a sudden you can't belive your own eyes. It's a great architecture and great art collection. I am very greatful for having a chance and an opportunity to see it all with my own eyes.
