Beautiful art.
But I prefer my coffee black, a bit of sugar. Creamy,, Italian espresso machine made is the best one.

Este ali é um Abatanado. Tirado ali num bom café, no bairro dos Anjos.
A chavena é grande, mas talvez o angulo da foto não mostre bem. Estava ótimo tambem.

Yes it is. Belem used to be a separate little place, it's about 5 Km or 3 miles from the center of Lisbon. I walked there with a group on a MeetUp hike, and it was cool. There's the Tower of Belem you showed, and nearby a big Monument to the Great Navigators.
If you walk a bit inland (this photo is by the River Tejo's margins), you can visit other wonderful places:
- Convento dos Jeronimos
- National Miuseum of Archeology
- National Maritime Museum
- Belem Cultural Center, new and big.
And the Museu dos Coches, with many old Royal carriages from the monarchy period.
Lisbon is wonderful!

Very, very true, just look at what's happening with Barcelona, Amsterdam and Venice.
Too many visitors, annoying all the locals with rising prices and shops closing, replaced by tourist stuff like tshirts and quick food.
Portugal has had many, many visitors in these past few years. I haven't travelled there in peak time, Summer, but do prefer Spring so it's easier to find accommodations without stressing out. Booking.com works great, I take the trains as much as possible. which here in Canada is pretty difficult and expensive to do.
