点评:I'm sure you've read about the looooong line for ticket holders to enter this landmark, and when you get there, your brain has a hard time processing why you even picked an entrance time and prebooked. There was NO way I was spending hours in a hot line of folks with the sun beaming down on me, so I skipped it and entered the church next door instead b/c that line was way shorter and not even sure you needed a ticket to do this! It's where Vasco Da Gama is laid to rest, and the scene is rather moving. With Belem Tower being closed for renovation (sorry folks scaffolding all around the bottom) I guess the monastery is overrun? Next stop, steps away from the church is the famous bakery making the pastel de nata treat and you'll know you're there b/c there are swarms of people waiting in, that's right, another line. But on the side of the building there's a to-go line with like 2 people waiting where you can get the very same thing. All I did was get 2 pastries and a Coke Zero to-go and with my receipt, I flashed it to the hostess who allowed me to enter for the restroom (huge & nice) and I snapped a photo of the inside and left. Ate my treats on a shady park bench across the street. One more tip for your trip out to Belem, to get on the train or to get across the train lines to the other side, you're looking for either an underground walkway basically like entering the NYC subway or a skywalk near an office building...tons of people looked very confused about this. I heard you could go to the top of the statue with all the explorers on it but it looked too scary for me. Have fun!
翻译:我相信你已经读到过关于持票人进入这个地标建筑时要排很长的队,当你到达那里时,你的大脑很难理解为什么你还要选择这样的入场时间并提前预订。我绝对不可能在烈日下排几个小时的队,所以我跳过了这条线,进入了隔壁的教堂,因为那条线短得多,我甚至不确定你是否需要门票才能这样做!这是瓦斯科·达·伽马的安息之地,场景相当感人。由于贝伦塔正在关闭进行翻修(对不起,底部到处都是脚手架),我猜修道院已经人满为患了?下一站,离教堂几步之遥的地方是一家制作葡式蛋挞的著名面包店,你会知道你到了,因为那里有成群的人在等着,没错,又是一条队。但在建筑物的一侧,有一条外卖队伍,大约有两个人在等,你可以买到同样的东西。我只买了两块糕点和一瓶零度可乐外带,然后拿着收据向女主人出示,她允许我进去上厕所(厕所很大很漂亮),我拍了张里面的照片就离开了。我在街对面公园的阴凉长椅上吃了这些零食。还有一个关于你去贝伦旅行的小贴士,要乘坐火车或穿过火车线到另一边,你需要找一个地下通道,基本上就像进入纽约地铁一样,或者找一个办公楼附近的空中走廊……很多人对此都很困惑。我听说你可以爬到雕像的顶部,上面有所有的探险家,但那对我来说太吓人了。祝你玩得开心!
