Chiado / Baixa Rossio (Tram Station) - Amazing Building – have a “ginginha” – Portuguese liquor! Elevador de Santa Justa - 19th century lift used to transport passengers up a steep hill – amazing view! Largo do Carmo - Amazing Architecture & Carmo Convent. Armazéns do Chiado - Shopping. Santini Ice Cream (Outside Armazens do Chiado) – worth the queue. Coffee at "A Brasileira" (in Chiado) - one of the oldest coffee shops in Lisbon .

Baixa & Chiado: As the beating heart of downtown Lisbon, the Bairro of Baixa with its gridded network of streets is one of the main focal points for the droves of tourists visiting Lisbon in their thousands every year. With a mass of hotels, cafes, bars and restaurants catering for the many visitors to these busy streets, the area also boasts stunning architecture with a sequence of three elegant squares lining the route from the foot of Avenida da Liberdade to the seafront. The principal square of the area, and true heart of the city, is Rossio (below) with its statue of Dom Pedro IV, water fountains and striking wave pattern stone paving. Rossio is also an important transport hub hosting bus, train and metro stations and at the northern end of the square sits Dona Maria II National Theatre. Neighbouring Rossio is the Baixa’s largest square Praca da Figueira. Home to the statue of King Joao I, the historical cafes Confeitaria Nacional and Pastelaria Suiça, the square also hosts seemingly endless flocks of pigeons. Please bear this in mind when looking upwards to the skies and the close-up view of nearby Castelo Sao Jorge! Venturing onwards down the pedestrian lined Rua Augusta, brings you through the spectacular Arco da Rua Augusta and out into the vast waterfront expanse of Praca do Comercio. Built on the site of the Old Royal Palace, the square is lined on three sides with arcades of bars and cafes hosted amongst its yellow walls, whilst at its southern end lies an unhindered view of the river Tagus and beyond to Almada. Majestically set centre stage is the statue of Joseph I on horseback, King of Portugal during the earthquake of 1755, the disaster which instigated the building of this magnificent waterfront area. Originally built to link the lowest point of Baixa with the highest point of Chiado (Largo do Carmo), the Santa Justa Elevator is a hugely prominent feature of the downtown skyline. This 145ft electrically powered, vertical elevator carries up to 24 passengers at a time. But, as befits a city with a seemingly endless supply of hills, get there early as this one remaining elevator is not surprisingly extremely popular with tourists (and locals) alike. Restored in the 1990’s following a devastating fire in 1988, cosmopolitan Chiado is also undoubtedly Lisbon’s most elegant neighbourhood. Home to Michelin star restaurants, Portugal’s only Opera House and the world’s oldest bookstore, Chiado is an extremely pleasant place for people to shop, stop for coffee or simply to stroll around. The main shopping area of Rua Garrett is bookended by the Aramazens do Chiado Mall and the glamourous “A Brasileira” café and the nearby Praca Luis de Camoes. Spectacular Churches and Theatres are well represented here before mention is even made of the National Museum of Contemporary Art which translates and displays Portuguese history from the mid-19th century to the present day. www.museuartecontemporanea.gov.pt
