Absolutely beautiful. From all the historic pieces to the original walls and steps of the monastery and the court yards all the way up to the views from the tower. Well worth the 5€ to enter. I went in just to photograph from the top and ended up spending 2 hours just wandering around inside in awe of the beauty and rich history of the place.

I stumbled across this on the way to the Pantheon (which was shut) and how lucky I was. Almost no one was here (perhaps because it's not included in the Lisboa card), but it is magnificent. The architecture is the antithesis of St Jerome's - conservative and plain Vs dramatic ostentation. The interpretation is excellent, the variety of religious exhibits Vs architecture Vs the panorama from the top would make this a really top tip for visitors. And for anyone who likes the local tiles there is an extraordinary display of illustrated fables.

Schön, einfach nur schön. Ein wirklich sehr imposanter Bau. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen. Meines Erachtens nach muss man ein Ticket kaufen, um sich alles anschauen zu können. Ansonsten reicht auch wirklich ein entspannter Blick durch den Vorderraum in den Kirchenraum. Man sollte wochentags hierher gehen, vielleicht noch am Abend oder ganz früh am Morgen. Dann ist es nicht so voll. Auch zu empfehlen ist der sich dahinter befindliche Flohmarkt.

This is actually a complex of two buildings - the Church and the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora. The entrance to the church is free. The church itself, although quite beautiful and majestic, did not make much of an impression, but the monastery is another matter. However, keep in mind that there is a fee to enter the monastery.

Church itself is okay. It also has a monastery with an entrance on the right side of the church. It would be best if you visit the monastery, this is a magnificent place. It must be on the list of "must-visit places" in Lisbon. The entrance fee is five euros per person as of June 2022. It has gorgeous tiles and the best collection of shells I've ever seen. Please visit the pantheon with tombs of monarchs. Go to the top of the roof, where you will see a breathtaking panoramic view of Lisbon.

What a surprise hidden gem. A MUST SEE if you are in Lisboa. It's only a $5 pp entry fee (cash). The entrance is below, to the right of the church in the courtyard. It had so many cool things to see, especially at the top of the roof, giving an INCREDIBLE VIEW. The history shown in there in unreal. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO THERE.

(Translated by Google) When we thought we had already seen the most important places in our history, here we were able to visit the Church and Monastery of São Vicente de Fora. This Monument dating from the 16th century is of a size and architecture that impresses the visitor. Currently the Headquarters of the Patriarchate of Lisbon, where is its own Museum, in which we can see pieces of painting, sculpture, jewelery and vestments, the Pantheon of the Patriarchs and the Royal House of Bragança. In addition to the largest collection of Baroque tiles in the same space, from which I highlight the Fables of La Fontaine and a great exhibition of bivalves from our sea coast. On the terrace of this Monastery we can observe Lisbon in 360º, the Tagus River, the houses of the most emblematic neighborhoods in the city, the National Pantheon, the Feira da Ladra, etc. I strongly recommend a visit to this Monument. (Original) Quando pensávamos já ter visto os locais mais importantes da nossa história, eis que nos surgiu a possibilidade de visitar a Igreja e o Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora. Este Monumento datado do século XVI é de uma dimensão e de uma arquitectura que impressiona o visitante. Actualmente Sede do Patriarcado de Lisboa, onde está seu próprio Museu, no qual podemos ver peças de pintura, escultura, ourivesaria e paramentaria, o Panteão dos Patriarcas e da Casa Real de Bragança. Além da maior colecção de azulejaria barroca no mesmo espaço, da qual destaco as Fábulas de La Fontaine e uma grandiosa exposição de bivalves da nossa costa marítima. No terraço deste Mosteiro podemos observar Lisboa em 360º, o Rio Tejo, o casario dos Bairros mais emblemáticos da Cidade, do Panteão Nacional, da Feira da Ladra, etc. Aconselho vivamente uma visita a este Monumento.

The church is located right by the area where Feira da Ladra takes place. The church is full of the famous Portuguese tiles and has an ecclesiastical museum. The church also has nice views of Lisbon. The church museum does have an entrance fee but it’s worth looking around when in Alfama.

Must see. No tourists invasion. De la Fontaine Azulejos collection is impressive. The view on the top floor is superb.

Less known sight but definitely worth a visit and all the stairs you need to climb from down town. Very tall and impressive,gorgeous interiors and azulejos, beautiful views over the city and good spot for sunset. Beautiful interior courtyard, beautiful marble interiors

Absolutely amazing architecture, interior, and panoramic view at the roof top!

Tickets are pretty cheap. Place makes impress. Really monumental, to can feel there how much work, time and resources were spent. It was really important place in past.Just I miss toilett, somewhere in area:)

Loved this stop along our adventure of Lisbon. We visited on a Monday, end of February, about an hour before close (which was perfect since there was maybe 1 or 2 small groups of people in the whole place). Cost 8-10€ per person (I can’t remember but I think it was 8€). Some of the most beautiful pictures I got in Lisbon were from here. Initially being commissioned by King Henriques in 1147, it underwent additions by Felipe I of Portugal and survived the 1755 earthquake (somewhat). It was rebuilt into what we see today, being declared a national monument in 1910 (when the monarchy was abolished & the republic created). There are numerous tombs to view & the azulejos are amazing throughout; the rooftop views really make it worth it. Best viewpoint by far; overseeing the pantheon, the river, & Lisbon life. Highly recommend. If you want to stop and read everything and take your time, I’d advise going at least 2 hours before close. They shut down the main level at 5:30, to be able to close at 6pm. But the sky at this time of the day was unmatchable!

5€ entrance. Beautiful Church, with lot's of Azulejo (painted tiles), ceiling paintings, chapels and great architecture all around. Nice touch that there are mini pictures with fables, from ancient folklore. Don't miss the viewpoint from the top floor. Not compulsory if you're tight on time, but personally, enjoyed my visit.

Great museum and chapels! A lot of interesting pieces of art and tiles. Great panoramic view. Super valuable for its money!

To me, the most magical church experience in the Lisbon area... Totally worth 5€ (2.5€ for students) to visit the monastery. Maybe it's COVID times but I really felt an oasis of peace and calm there amidst the busy city, just sit on a bench in the cloisters, admire the thousands of intricate tiles, laugh at the fables of La Fontaine, enjoy the rooftop view... AMAZING. Go before all the tourists return!

They have a museum in here that is amazing! largest tile collect in Portugal

I wasn't attracted so much by the external architecture but inside was very interesting for me to discover. And the most fantastic was the views from the rooftop.

A beautiful church worth seeing if in the area. Free to enter, and if a tourist recommend looking up the history in advance since there is little to no information inside.

(Translated by Google) Splendid jewel of the Portuguese artistic and religious historical heritage in the heart of Alfama. Founded in 1147 and renovated in the mid 1500s, it is beautifully preserved. 12th century cisterns for water collection, beautiful blue and white azulejos. Vestments, history and tombs of the various bishops and patriarchs who have succeeded in Lisbon. From the tower and the roof you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the Tejo. The visit is recommended € 5 well spent. Children free. (Original) Splendido gioiello del patrimonio storico artistico e religioso portoghese nel cuore dell'Alfama. Fondato nel 1147 e rinnovato a metà del 1500, è splendidamente conservato. Cisterne del 12°secolo per la raccolta d'acqua, splendidi azulejos bianchi e blu. Paramenti, storia e tombe dei vari vescovi e patriarchi che si sono succeduti a Lisbona. Dalla torre ed il tetto si gode di una vista mozzafiato della città e del Tejo. Consigliata la visita 5€ proprio ben spesi. Bambini gratis.

(Translated by Google) One of the emblematic churches of Lisbon. Magnificent I recommend your visit (Original) Una de las Iglesias emblemáticas de Lisboa. Magnífica. Recomiendo su visita

A very beautiful monastery. I chose the evening time so that there would be few visitors. I walked through the empty rooms and courtyards of the monastery enjoying the silence and beautiful architecture. I really liked the observation deck. Ceramic tiles are incredibly beautiful. You can look at it for a very long time. ❤️

We paid to go visit the cloisters. We were told we could take photos inside though in some rooms it was prohibited. They should have told us that upfront. Photos allowed in most places. Be sure to climb up to the towers and roof. Free to go inside the main sanctuary.

I have been only outside, was closed already. But it looks a nice church and is big.

One of my favorite spots during our trip to Lisbon! I would recommend going on a Tuesday morning. We started at the Santa Clara market around 9:30am and walked around. Then we ventured back to the church, and we saw a small area to the right with beautiful trees and flowers. That’s when we noticed you can enter for a small fee of €5. It was worth every bit!! The inside of the monastery was breathtaking. There were almost no visitors when we were there, and it was almost shocking to explore silently and alone in such a grand space. The tile work is phenomenal and the views at the top are stunning. To be honest I prefer this monastery to the one near Belem tower. Try to go early and do not miss this spot!

Amazing place. You walk in and don't know what's expecting you and there are more an more nice surprises. From the church views through the 360 beautiful views, and the endless amazing ceramic tiles

Personally my favourite spot in Lisbon. It had a very brief description in my tourist guide and I'm very glad I took the chance to check it out. It's a beautiful church, including the cloisters and the sacristy. There are great views across Lisbon. However the real highlight are the Royal tombs, it's almost a privilege to be able to view their resting place.

Large, relaxed and informative church museum and courtyards with a great overlook on top. You can spend a few hours there learning and seeing the artifacts, etc., or just run right up the stairs for the view. €5.

The area that catches my eyes was the 360 degree at the rooftop and the exit gate with nice terrace

On our first day in Lisbon, we visited this beautiful church . But we missed the museum on the side of the entrance 😔 which also gives access to the roof top of the church and apparently one of the best highest views in Lisbon.

What a great place to visit. It’s a bit uphill walk but definitely worth the effort. Just the amazing array of tiles is something I haven’t encountered before. There is also an interesting museum. Also great architecture and views of course. Don’t miss it when visiting Lisbon.

I love this place ! The architecture is lovely. Customer service are very friendly and patients with the customers. I enjoy the trip inside ,it take nearly one hour to visit , the old pictures inside are really interested showing about the history and different stories . I recommend this tourist place to everybody . Thank you so much for having me ! ❤❤❤❤❤ Hope to see you soon!😉

Deep in the Alfamba neighborhood, getting there is half the fun. Quick trip up there decorated stairs to look off the roof at the neighborhood and the Tagus. Don't miss the chapel. You can do it in an hour, but need time to get there and back. Not much else to do within a short walk ... Except to get happily lost in the neighborhood.

Great place to check it out with lots of history

The church was closed for visitation (22/04/21, it was late in the afternoon and that might be the reason), but the monastery next door is great. After a beatiful sacristy on the ground floor and a great showcase of ceramic tiles with the La Fontaine fables o the 1st floor, the views from the church towers are some of the most amazing I've encountered in Lisbon. Simply Stunning and totally worth the entry fee.

Beautiful church just watch your steps inside and don’t blame god if you trip due to uneven surfaces

Free to enter, there is a museum and monastery adjacent to the church.

A true well presented and kept monument of Portuguese culture and history.

beautiful church with tipical portuguese architecture. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful church in excellent condition inside and out, full of beautiful sculptures and carvings. It is in the heart of the city, easy to reach (even with tram 28). Its ensemble with the monastery is so unique that you must see it during your visit to Lisbon.

Beautiful church, part of the monastery as well and with plenty of details and decorations inside the church and outside. Resting place of Portuguese royalty. You have some small archeological museum inside and some exhibitions. If you climb to the top, you can have a great view of the city as well. For sure, a must see place in the city.

Very nice place. 5 eur entrance fee but only cash. Great views from the top.

Vast cloister and monastery extensively adorned with azulejos.

We loved the exhibition: Sintra, historical time line , church artifacts, art are of exceptional quality. De La Fontaine exhibit has blown my mind.

Good place for historical visitors. No waiting time, 5€ for a very nice place. A must! Very good view over the city too.

Beautiful architecture and history. Must take the panoramic tour to the top of the tower.

Absolutely Beautiful. Well worth seeing, and definitely climb the stairs to the bell tour, the views are stunning! Wonderful exhibits throughout the Monastery. Gorgeous tiles, with explanations of the scenes!

São Vicente de Fora is a beautiful church in Lisbon, Portugal, with a stunning rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking views of the city. The church was built in the 16th century and features intricate Baroque and Renaissance architectural details both inside and outside. The rooftop terrace is definitely a highlight of a visit to São Vicente de Fora. From there, you can admire panoramic views of Lisbon's historic center, including landmarks like the Castelo de São Jorge, the Tagus River, and the red rooftops of the city's charming neighborhoods. Aside from its impressive architecture and views, São Vicente de Fora is also home to an important collection of Portuguese tilework, or azulejos. The church's interior walls are covered with beautiful blue and white tiles that depict religious scenes and historical events. Overall, São Vicente de Fora is a must-see attraction for visitors to Lisbon who are interested in history, architecture, and culture

Loved the visit. Especially all the quirky fables on all the wall tiles. Beautiful designs and great view from the top.

(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist spot.

The panoramic view on the top floor is fantastic! (Original) Excelente ponto turístico. Além da igreja, se pode entrar ao lado direito da igreja no museu de artes sacras do antigo mosteiro, com acesso ao panteon de todos os reis e rainhas de Portugal. A vista panorâmica no último andar é fantástica!

Serene & tranquil are apt descriptions of the ambience of this church. We sat as if in meditation. At times the quiet was disrupted by the loudness of some visitors, yet quietness prevails.

This place is huge. Constructed with brute strength. Pictures cannot do it justice.

The monastery is a must-see in Lisbon - it's cheap and there's plenty to see, including one of the best views in Lisbon.

You could explore this place for hours. Fascinating cultural experience and absolutely stunning architecture. The historical exhibits are educational and the opportunities to see such a historic collection of artifacts and art is only rivaled in museums. Highly recommend a visit if in the area.

Gorgeous place. A must. Great area as well.

While the rest of the tourist attractions were busy, this place was extremely quiet so definitely gave a boost to our visit. Huge space and an amazing view of the city! It’s not expensive, informations are clear. Stunning interiors.

Gorgeous building with amazing views and so much history. The la Fables de Fontaine exhibit was extremely interesting. Lovely way to while away time.

Museum at the side where you will have an amazing view of the Pantheon and sea.

From the roof of the church you can enjoy a wonderful panorama over the whole of Lisbon (Original) Il complesso monumentale stupendo purtroppo poco conosciuto perché fuori dai percorsi turistici. Merita assolutamente una visita. Dal tetto della chiesa si può godere di un Panorama stupendo su tutta Lisbona

(Translated by Google) For the price, the visit is definitely worth it. Huge place, which may seem a little empty, but the monastery is very beautiful. Plus, the view from the rooftop closely matches that of the castle next door. There are also a lot of azulejos adorning the walls. (Original) Pour le prix, la visite en vaut vraiment le coup. Endroit immense, qui peut paraître un peu vide, mais le monastère est très beau. De plus, la vue depuis le toit égale de près celle du château juste à côté.
