The museums of Lisbon celebrate the rich history and culture of this Portuguese capital city. The Maritime Museum is perfect for kids (and grown-ups!) who adore all things nautical, while the Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves is a hidden gem of colorful artwork. To fully appreciate the city’s dramatic stone architecture you can take a guided walking tour, or customize your own tour, making sure to visit the Padrao dos Descobrimentos, the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, and the UNESCO World Heritage site the Torre de Belem.

Largo do Carmo is a very interesting place, mostly by its various nearby attractions, such as one of the must-to stops on your Lisbon itinerary, the Convento do Carmo, an imposing building that partially survived the 1775 earthquake, also housing Carmo Archaeological Museum, or the Elevador de Santa Justa, right around the corner, via the small passageway of Travessa Dom Pedro de Menezes, the best way to beat the crowds (of its downtown entrance), or the headquarters of the National Guard (GNR General Command), an iconic landmark in Portugal's Carnation Revolution, where on April 25, 1974 the last Portugal's dictator Caetano officially ceded power to the rebels. A National Guard Museum (Museu da Guarda Nacional Republicana) is located in the same building. The square itself, formed by a convergence of about 4 or 5 streets, with its calming greenery, an XVIIIth century fountain (Chafariz do Carmo), and a Quiosque Lisboa, a round-shaped kiosk offering hot beverages, wine, snacks and light meals, with sitting-down area complete with chairs, tables, and umbrellas against the elements, makes the location one of the coziest in the city.

I like this place. It is located in front of the museum. There is a red phone cabine that looks lien the same one in London
