This in Lisbon is one of the most incredible places. No wonder it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The detail here is unreal and you have to see it for yourself. It dates back 500 years ago! 

📍 Jerónimos Monastery - Belém, Lisbon

SAVE THIS for your Lisbon trip 👇

🎟️ Entry: €18 for the monastery/cloister
⏰ For fewer crowds, try going later in the afternoon rather than at peak midday
🎫 Buy your ticket online in advance: tickets can sell out and same-day tickets aren’t guaranteed
⚠️ Last entry is currently 5pm, so don’t leave it too late
💡 The church is free to enter, while the famous cloister is the ticketed part

Guide to 3 days in Porto 🇵🇹 I spent two weeks exp Guide to 3 days in Porto 🇵🇹

I spent two weeks exploring Porto, and these were some of my favorite places. I fell in love with this beautiful city and the best part was discovering a it’s hidden gems and incredible viewpoints.

But my favorite day was actually spent outside the city 👀 

The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful day trips from Porto, and so many visitors miss it. Take the scenic train to Pinhão, visit a quinta for lunch and wine tasting, then finish with a Rabelo boat cruise through the valley. 🍷🚂

AD 📱 One thing I always need when traveling is reliable data, so I use Simify (@travelwithsimify) to stay connected the second I land. Their Europe eSIM works across multiple countries, so I can use one eSIM for my whole trip without swapping SIM cards or worrying about roaming charges.

🌿 This is one of Lisbon’s best-kept secrets 🇵🇹 🏛️ 🌿 This is one of Lisbon’s best-kept secrets 🇵🇹

🏛️ This stunning 17th-century palace is tucked away in São Domingos de Benfica, and you can visit the gardens on their own or take a guided tour inside.

🌸 I was limited on time, so I chose just the gardens and honestly, they were the highlight. I was so surprised to have the place practically to myself in the afternoon!

🤎 I loved wandering through the beautiful greenery, discovering the Portuguese azulejos, labyrinths, and stunning fountains. It felt like such a peaceful escape from the busier parts of Lisbon.

💶 Gardens: €8 | Gardens + palace: €17. Tickets can easily be purchased on the spot.
