Uno de los imprescindibles si visitas Lisboa. El claustro, de dos pisos, y la iglesia son preciosos (21 €/persona con audioguía). Como está alejado del centro histórico empleamos todo un día. Fuimos en barco desde la Plaza del Comercio hasta la Torre de Belem pasando por debajo del Puente 25 de abril (25 €/persona, 1 hora con explicaciones) En los alrededores se puede ver el Monumento a los Descubridores con su gran rosa de los vientos y el Palacio Nacional de Belem que es la residencia oficial del presidente de la república. Es una zona muy bonita y con gran oferta de restaurantes. También aprovechamos para probar los deliciosos Pasteles de Belem en una afamada pastelería. El regreso ya al anochecer lo hicimos en taxi (30 € propina incluida).
No tiene la máxima puntuación porque me parece exagerado el precio y por la cola que tuvimos que esperar. El patio interior es precioso. Muy bien cuidado. Unas columnas con un relieve exquisito. Nosotros fuimos a primera hora con la Lisboa Card, un error. Iban dando paso de poco en poco entre las reservas de la hora contratada, los grupos y la Lisboa Card así que tardamos más de una hora en entrar. Yo compraría el ticket con la reserva de la hora o si vas con Lisboa Card sobre las 13 horas ya no había ni cola.
Lugar de imprescindible visita si estás en Lisboa. A mejorar el sistema de venta de entradas. Aunque lleves entrada comprada las colas son enormes (sobre todo por la mañana). Es aconsejable ir a partir de las 15 horas dado que las colas para entrar son mucho menores.
