The Baixa district is considered to be the city center, the heart of Lisbon. It stretches from the banks of the Tagus River to Avenida da Liberdade and is positioned between the two hills enclosing the neighborhoods of Alfama and Chiado. It was completely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755, and a great emphasis placed on its street plan. Lisbon has seen great development over the past few years and this area is a focus of major importance.

And most interestingly, the history that lies beneath, is literal. You will be able to discover authentic historic canals under our city. The property itself is situated in an area of high archaeological sensitivity, attested by various archaeological interventions carried out in the surrounding area, with particular emphasis on the Roman remains and the pre-Pombaline period. BAIXA - CHIADO AND BAIRRO ALTO It is the tourist zone of Lisbon par excellence; the quantity of large hotels and the streets littered with small cafes provide a pleasant atmosphere, and the night life is only a few steps away. Baixa has the majority of Lisbon's sights, making it the perfect place to stay. The best attraction of the Baixa is undoubtedly the incredible view from the top of the triumphal arch of Augusta Street. This arc connects Augusta Street to the Trade Square and, from its viewpoint, the panoramic views of the square, the Tagus Estuary, Augusta Street and the Castle are breathtaking! Bairro Alto and Chiado are located a short distance to the west of Baixa. These two quarters complement each other; one being the realm of fashion and style during the day, the other being trendy and casual at night. Chiado is Lisbon's popular district for shopping and theaters, with a wealth of historical monuments, traditional shops and fascinating cafes and restaurants. The Bairro Alto does not offer much to see during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down, an unbelievable number of small bars unfolds so that the party takes place until the end of the night. During the weekend, holiday enthusiasts roam the streets, giving a carnival atmosphere ... A LITTLE HISTORY… Baixa is an elegant neighborhood, built after the earthquake of 1755. It owes its name (Pombalina) to Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, first marquess of Pombal, Prime Minister of Joseph I of Portugal from 1750 to 1777 and eminent figure Portuguese Enlightenment, which led the reconstruction of Lisbon after the earthquake of 1755. La Baixa is one of the earliest examples of anti-seismic construction whose main characteristics are, for example, the "pombaline cage", a symmetrical latticework made of oak wood whose purpose is to distribute seismic forces. The Lisbon furniture of the 1920s will still be built according to this principle. Chiado is once the neighborhood where artists and other young hopefuls from rich Lisbon met. Praça Luís de Camoes, one of the emblematic sites of the Eye-Lets Revolution, marks the limits of the Chiado and Bairro Alto districts.
