Bourgeois Lisbon

180 EURO
The Chiado district, epicentre of bourgeois life, preserves spaces of great elegance and beauty with a lot of history and stories that mark the experience of the city.

On this itinerary, we will discover the bourgeois Lisbon that has been established over time by the hill of S. Francisco.

Arriving at this square, we will remember one of the most important moments in contemporary Portuguese history, which put an end to the dictatorial regime, lived between 1933 and 1974, the year of the revolution of the 25th of April.

Going up a little we will arrive at Largo Trindade Coelho, where we will enter the very rich church of São Roque, with special emphasis on the chapel of S. João Batista completely built in Italy.

Going down towards Chiado, we will pass by the mythical Café Brasileira of Chiado, where intellectuals used to meet to exchange ideas and drink coffee.

After the typical photo at the statue of Fernando Pessoa, we’ll go down Garrett street. Discovering historic city stores, protected and classified, as the oldest bookstore in the world, the mythical Bertrand.

We’ll end our journey in the elegant square of Rossio, the epicenter of Lisbon’s dynamic commercial and cultural life.
