Walking around: favorite places in Lisbon’s historical center & hanging laundry
Typical Portuguese is the hanging laundry in the windows, drying in the wind. Besides: in the narrow labyrinth of cobbled alleys of Lisbon’s ancient center it’s very nice to walk around! Herewith a few ideas:
Restaurant Solar do Duque. Calcada do Duque is a street made of hundreds of stairs, lined with lots of traditional Portuguese restaurants, near Largo Duque de Cadaval , a square full of open-air cafes near the beautiful Rossio Station.
Around the Castle of St. Jorge (Castelo de São Jorge), the tiny and partially restored ancient neighborhood of Santa Cruz do Castelo , is one of the most picturesque parts of Lisbon.
Mouraria, Rua dos Cavaleiros. From here, you can walk to a beautiful viewpoint over the city, Miradouro da Graça.
Bairro Alto
Bairro Alto. During daytime, the famous Bairro is a very quiet district, it’s really worth it to walk around: trendy shops, art galleries and fashion. At night, bars suddenly appear everywhere from behind the shutter doors.
Quite close to the historic Alfama neighborhood, a very nice street to walk around at Lisbon’ city center is Rua dos Bacalhoeiros (street of the cod fish sellers).
