Your skip-the-line entry ticket allows you swift access to the historic Monastery of Alcobaça, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its striking Gothic architecture and profound ties to Portugal’s royal past.
The Monastery of Alcobaça, one of Portugal's most significant historical and architectural landmarks, was established in 1153 by the country's first King, Afonso Henriques. It stands as one of the world's finest preserved examples of Cistercian Gothic design.
As you wander through the monastery, you'll be captivated by its grand scale and the understated elegance of its layout. The church houses the tombs of King Pedro I and his beloved, Inês de Castro, whose heart-rendingly romantic tale is among the most celebrated in Portuguese lore. The monastery’s cloisters, chapels, and exquisite tile work offer a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural importance of this monumental location.
