Praca Dom Pedro IVPass-by Only
Lisbon’s historic heart for over 700 years, Rossio has seen revolutions, royal parades, and even public executions. Today, it buzzes with life, surrounded by cafés, grand 19th-century façades, and iconic wave-patterned cobblestones. It's where Lisbon gathers, protests, celebrates… and grabs a coffee.
ChiadoPass-by Only
Lisbon’s classy bohemian quarter, where poets once sipped coffee and artists argued about art. Today, it’s a stylish mix of old bookstores, fancy shops, cool cafés, and street performers. Think Paris meets Portugal — with better pastries.
Bertrand
Tucked into a Chiado side street since 1732, Bertrand isn’t just a bookstore — it’s the oldest one in the world still running! Imagine centuries of readers, revolutionaries, and romantic poets browsing its shelves. Step inside, smell the paper, and time-travel with a good book.
