Lisbon - Baixa Old Historical City Centre - Lisboa Centro - Portugal :

Lisbon Baixa City Centre -- Baixa is a lively atmosphere for its visitors. The Praça dos Restauradores commemorate Portugal’s independence from Spain. Surrounding buildings, which were rebuilt after the Great Earthquake by the order of Marques de Pombal, reflect the architectural taste of the end of 18th century, and wide boulevards remind 19th century of Paris.

Baixa, or downtown Lisbon, is the heart of the city. It is the main shopping and banking district that stretches from the riverfront to the main avenue (Avenida da Liberdade), with streets named according to the shopkeepers and craftsmen who traded in the area.

It was completely rebuilt after the Great Earthquake of 1755 with streets flanked by uniform, neoclassical buildings. This was Europe's first great example of neoclassical design and urban planning, and one of the finest European architectural achievements of the age (it is currently being considered to be listed as a World Heritage Site, pending much-needed renovation of many of the buildings).

It remains an imposing district, with elegant squares, pedestrianized streets, cafes, and shops. Old tramcars, street performers, tiled Art Deco shopfronts, elaborately decorated pastry shops, and street vendors selling everything from flowers to souvenirs, all lend a special charm to the area.

In the 19th century, Baixa was Lisbon’s commercial heart, with streets named according to their trades – Rua dos Sapateiros, the shoemakers’ street, Rua da Prata, silversmiths’ street, and Rua Augusta, August Street, was for the wool and silk merchants.

Rua Augusta is the main tourist parade ground and the inevitable starting point for a stroll. Alongside the golden arabesque swirls of art nouveau store fronts, knots of grizzled old men read the papers hung at corner kiosks and tourists settle in at premium-rate pavement cafés watching a carousel of buskers, street artists and the ubiquitous Peruvian pan pipers.

Time zone -- GMT (GMT + 1 from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October)

Currency -- Portugal uses the euro. Euro banknotes are issued in the following values: €500, €200, €100, €50, €20, €10 €5, while the Euro is divided into 100 cents, with €2, €1, 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c and 1c coins all available.
