Nice construction
The place is beautiful and all impressive. Even outside the season there was a lot of people. A walk that's super worth it.

Wonderful tour with Frederico at Jernonimos Monastery
We booked a 2 hour guided tour with Frederico, who was a superb, outstanding guide. He put everything in context of the time and made it so much more meaningful. He planned the tour really well and made it like a story. The building itself is so beautiful. We booked the 9 am tour when the light is perfect for photographs. Frederico puts his heart and soul into the tour and I would happily go on any other tour that he does.
