Amazing architecture just some minutes away from the coast of Portugal. If you are spending some days in LISBON, you can run out of the massive touristic places and visit the following monasteries. 🚗The perfect 1 day roadtrip, in which you can also add Nazare as a quick stop and apreciate the biggest waves in the world. 💳Do a quick research about tickets and entrances to the monasteries. I remember there is a ticket with which you can enter to several ones. Some others have some areas that are totally free. 📎Tag me if you visit any of this amazing buildings! You will adore a slow trip to apreciate its architecture full of details and history! pictures by myself🫶🏽
