★★★★★a month agoA 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!

★★★★★a month agoThat'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.
