GARRET STREET
The easiest way walking to get to Baixa-Chiado is through Rua Garret. It hosts a number of remarkable historical shops, such as the Bertrand Bookshop, distinguished by the Guiness World Records as the world’s oldest bookshop founded in 1732 and other recommended spots such as the Armazéns do Chiado, the busy shopping mall of Chiado, and the Santini Ice Cream store located right opposite the mall.
ELEVADOR DE SANTA JUSTA
The famous elevator was inaugurated in 1902 and built by a Portuguese-French engineer who studied with the architect of the Eiffel tower, Mesnier du Ponsard. Using steam as an energy source, as it did back in the day, it takes you up to the top to admire the downtown landscape. It is also connected via a passage to the Carmo Convent and museum, another spot worth visiting in the area!
PRAÇA DO COMÉRCIO
Impossible to miss, the iconic Praça do Comércio, also called Terreiro do Paço, is the original spot where the royal palace was located until the massive destruction caused by the 1755 earthquake. It was recently considered as one of the most beautiful and perfectly dimensioned squares of Europe. You can also climb up the Archway of Augusta to get a spectacular view of the square, the river and the surrounding area.
AVENIDA DA LIBERDADE
The city’s version of Paris’ Champs Elysées. It’s a tree-lined boulevard noted for its high-end brand outlets, tailoring shops and café´s.
ROSSIO
Rossio has been a traditional meeting point for the people of Lisbon dating back to the 18th century. Some of the cafés and shops in the square, such as the Café Nicola, were frequented by famous poets such as Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage. Other traditional shops include the Pastelaria Suíça and the Ginjinha, where the traditional Portuguese liqueur (Ginjinha) can be tasted.
ALFAMA
Recognised as oldest district in Lisbon, Alfama is a traditional, tranquil and artisan neighborhood. It hosts a labyrinth of streets that are best explored without a guide or a map as an exciting museum,viewpoint, restaurant or funky store is just around the corner. Here also lies the heart of fado, the melancholic Portuguese genre of music whose origins can be traced back to the 1820´s in Lisbon. The famous Tram 28 also passes through this district, which connects the districts of Graça with Baixa through Alfama, thus it is perfect for both those that enjoy hill climbing, and those that do not.
SÃO JORGE CASTLE
Easily one of the most memorable monuments in Lisbon, the Moorish São Jorge Castle is one of the jewels of Lisbon, one that has overlooked the historic city of Lisbon and the Tagus River for over a millennium.
