Walking around Baixa

You will be staying right on the heart of Lisbon. Baixa is one of the oldest neighborhoods. For years this was the main door to the city, with boats arriving at Cais das Colunas bringing all the goods from abroad. After the big earthquake of 1755 the whole area was reconstructed with a plan that would bring up order and grandiosity to the capital. The plan was supervised by Marques de Pombal one of the big figures of our city’s history. Streets that once were dark and narrow would now be perfect and symmetric with enough space to bring all the light and sparkle. You’ll find a lot of interesting places around the neighborhood, but here are the ones I think you can’t miss!
