We'll start our tour at Praça do Comércio, the most beautiful square in Lisbon and head towards Baixa and Chiado, the romantic neighbourhoods in Lisbon and have been the meeting point of famous artists, writers, poets and politicians since the XVIII century. They are still considered the heart of the city and most cosmopolitan areas with its imposing buildings, historical monuments and crowded streets.
