This route takes you through the Pombaline downtown, the zone of Lisbon that was reborn in the 18th century after the devastating earthquake of 1755. It was rebuilt according to an original layout as can be easily observed.
Begin in the Praça do Comércio, the great visiting room of Lisbon, opening up generously onto the wide Tagus estuary.
Then, take the Rua da Alfândega passing the Welcome Center of Lisbon, a modern reception facility to provide a warm greeting to all visitors to the Portuguese capital. Inside, there is a Tourism Post for answers to all your questions on Lisbon.
In front, there is the Praça do Município, that has the city´s pillory at its centre and is flanked by the Paços do Concelho (Royal Council Building) building, a work of unquestionable architectural value.

Return to the Praça do Comércio and head down the pedestrianised Rua Augusta (under the triumphal arch), with shops crowding either side and the middle given over to inviting esplanades.
In Rua Santa Justa (the final road crossing Rua Augusta before reaching the Praça do Rossio) take a turn to the left and the Santa Justa elevator. Go up to the top floor for some of the best views out over the sloping, distinctively ochre coloured roofs of downtown Lisbon with the blue strip of the Tagus over in the distance.
Head back down and finish your stroll in Rossio, the square that used to be the political and social forum for Lisbon.
