October 2020 - after our first breakfast in Lisbon we took the tram in the morning right tithe doors of the Jeronimo monastery. We were the only visitors so far, but the doors were about to open in 20 min. So we decided to use the time and walk up to the Magellan monument, from where you have a splendid view over the Golden Gate Bridge 😂, at least a very similar view as in San Francisco. We might as well visit the Torre de Belem, it is only a few hundred meters further walking along the Marina. A wonderful building which however appears a bit lost and is way smaller than you might imagine before visiting. We did not unter but had a small breakfast just in front. You can as well buy fresh pineapple juice. When we walked back to the monastery the line of visitors was already long. And we regret that we did not wait the 20 min to begin with. Safety measure for COVID: you had to buy your tickets at a slot machine and only 1 was working. So that took quite a while. We decided to wait in line and finally entered the monastery. Actually not that much to see inside. The cloisters, some fountains, many Manuelic elements. Our daughter enjoyed it  a lot though and ran along each aisle and into each room. So in conclusion we were happy to visit. Of course we had some of the obligatory Pastels de Belem, which were invented here.
