Cidade Baixa

Located between Rossio and Praça do Comercio, this section is a shopper's paradise with several pedestrian streets. Location within walking distance of many of the must-see in Lisbon center. Public transports, including the famous tram 28 at the door.

Reviewed By Margo7850p

Lisbon is a beautiful city with a unique charm. Baixa is its the most central part. It was completely destroyed after the earthquake in the eighteenth century. Rebuilt by the Marquis of Pombal . The district has large classical avenues flanked by houses covered in tiles, in typical Lisbon style. There are many shops and restaurants in Baixa. This neighbourhood houses the capital’s most emblematic squares and streets. Nice area for a walk. Every tourist should visit it.

Alfama

Wonderful sights delight walkers at every turn in this culturally rich and charming part of Lisbon, which through its architecture reminds visitors of its Visigothic roots, Arabic influence and fishing port heritage.

Reviewed By H5964BQjeang - Kent, United Kingdom

We were so impressed Alfama that we went back! The castle is lovely and has wonderful views of the city and flea market on Saturday is great fun, tram E28 is a good way to travel there and a visit to a bar or cafe is a must; with friendly people and inexpensive attractions it's well worth a visit.

Chiado

This is the fashionable shopping district in Lisbon.

Reviewed By thenugents - Upton St Leonards, United Kingdom

We were visiting Lisbon for 5 days and rented a beautiful apartment here just round the corner from Rua Garrett. Chiado is a great shopping area as it has many quality shops and lots of lovely restaurants.

Parque das Nacoes

Reviewed By docandmaria - Lisbon, Portugal

You will be pleasantly surprised at just how modern, clean and attractive this new city is. Originally built in 1998 for the Worlds Fair, it has grown into an extremely well designed example of urban development. Centrally located is the Train station, Gare de Oriente as well as the Vasco de Gama Shopping Center. Many sites and attractions, waterfront restaurants, Oceanarium, Science Museum, Casino, Ballet, Arena for concerts, beautiful architecture etc. etc. I always enjoy the gondola ride that takes you from the Myriad Hotel tower to just south of the Oceanarium, over 1k ride with lovely views of the park and the river. If you want to take a nice walk, you can do a 4k walk along the river with very nice photo ops of the bridge and surrounding sites.

Lisbon Baixa

Reviewed By pparrothead - Wilmington, United States

My wife and I recently visited Lisbon on the start of our two week adventure through Portugal, Spain, and Gibraltar. We decided to stay in the Baixa (Rossio) area of Lisbon after we researched it since there were plenty of attractions, boutique hotels, sidewalk restaurants and cafes, historic attractions, the Metro, trains at Rossio Station, and the historic trams..... Baixa has everything that you want for a great vacation/adventure. We took in as many sights and attractions as we could and dined every day at different restaurants and cafes. Plus if you like pastry, you will love this area and this city. Pastry shops are everywhere and you should definitely stop in for some of the best you have ever tasted... So if you are going to visit Lisboa, stay in the Baixa area, you will not want to leave....I promise.
