This late Gothic Manueline monastery is one not to be missed. It is one of the highlights in Lisbon and the jewel of the neighborhood Belem. There are tons of things to see and do in and around it. Take a 15 euro taxi, or tram 15 to it from the dock.
Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night in Portugal in prayer before leaving for the unknown on a voyage that would find them the route to India. One of the things to see inside the Jeronimos monastery is the final resting place of Vasco da Gama. Find his large tomb in this church.
