Excellent page on Belem Michael. Jeronimos was indeed an amazing monastery. Great to see you again also.

Michael, I have now been to Belem twice, although only for daytrips, but I haven't seen as much as you have. However, I also visited some places, which you don't mention here, e.g. the football stadium of C.F. Os Belenenses.

The cloisters of the monastery seem great. I started to think about renting Akbil, thanks for the idea. ;-)

That's a great collection of carriages in the Museu National dos Coches! (Mozart spent one third of his life travelling around in carriages like that, but they were mostly not so ornate.)

Belém looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing Michael. But I guess I have to blame you now that my travel wish list has gotten longer... again! lol :-)) You have made me eager to visit Belém one day! :-))

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Belém too, but we completley missed the spectacular Mosteiro dos Jeronimos!! That is a very impressive piece of 'battleship skin' in the Maritime Museum too!
