The colourful centre of Lisbon is a great start for exploring this attractive capital, go shopping or having a drink in one of its bars.
From Rossio, you can choose to take a small side street with unexpected little shops and bars, or the main shopping street of the city. Eventually, both options will take you to the Praça do Comércio, on the border with the river Tagus. After the 1755 earthquake had destroyed the palace on this square, it was transformed into an exemplary square of a new Baixa quarter. This square should be viewed both from its centre (ignoring people trying to sell sunglasses and other, more illegal, items), and by walking around the arcades - they will give you a different view. This is the end of Baixa - one more thing to do is to go up the elevator - you get a great view over the area.
