1º) The tickets were bought online 2º) The website only states that the Planetarium opens at 10am and closes at 5pm, which makes you think that the sessions are continuous and that you can enter at any time, which is not true. 3º) Could you also indicate the themes so that we can make a selection beforehand? Thank you!

Everything in general. The cloister is architecturally beautiful. Highly recommended. If I have to put something negative is that once the visit to the cloister (which as you know is paid) you have to queue to enter the church which is free (and that currently) is under construction. I think that if you have paid a ticket it would be normal not to queue.

The Cloister is truly magnificent! Disappointing not to have had access to the Chapel, which was apparently reserved for a wedding and also under renovation. The disappointment comes mainly from the fact that I didn't get the information when I booked the tickets (on the internet) or did I not see it? Mystery... I think it would be interesting to add explanations/panels on the history of this building, the work that may have taken place there or that is currently underway, and what is still going on today in the walls that are not accessible to the public. Are there any monks left?

It was easy to buy tickets from Headway and show thrm on my phone at the entrance. Despite timed entry ticket you still have to join the back of the queue. It took about half an hour though this was early in the morning in November and may be longer in busier times of the year. The inner courtyard of the monestry was stunningly beautiful and well worth the wait in line. Despite the people it felt very tranquil and it was easy to imagine the monks passing through it, enjoying the sheltered sunshine in the winter and finding cool shade In the hot summers. Unfortunately at the time of my visit the church was closed for renovation so I missed out on that. Despite this I'd still recommend it if you love architecture or just beautiful places

We had 09:30 timed tickets and arrived at 09:10 to join the queue, so we were among the first 50-75 visitors to arrive. Nonetheless, we didn't get inside the entrance until 10:10AM due to the priority given to large guided tours, who entered as soon as they arrived starting 09:30AM. By 10AM, the queue reached all the way down and around the block, at least 400-500 people waiting. So if you want to avoid angry visitors who followed the rules by purchasing 09:30 (opening timed tickets and who patiently waited in the queue, my advice is (1) to sell far fewer tickets so that all those holding timed entries can enter within 10-15 min. of arrival and (2) do NOT give priority to tour groups, whose constant immediate entry is simply unfair. We will tell our friends who will be visiting Lisboa to steer clear of the Monastery unless they're here in Jan. or Feb.

I got the time slot ticket for the first opening since I read somewhere it's better. But when I got there before it opens there is already a long line. When they start to let people in at my time. I asked the guard. The answer I got is that it's all the same line. So if you are going to get Lisboa card don't bother with the timed ticket... I do really enjoy the monastery. Such a beautiful place. When I got out the line is 3 times as long so.. i guess I didn't do that bad.
