Baixa District (Lower Town)

Nestled between Alfama and Bairro Alto, Lisbon’s Baixa District, also known as Lower Town, is a vibrant, central neighborhood that was rebuilt following the devastating 1755 earthquake. The district is characterized by its neoclassical architecture, which reflects the vision of ‘Modern Lisbon.’ Today, visitors can explore its symbolic streets and squares, bustling with an array of stores, restaurants, hotels, and bars. The grid-like layout and wide avenues make it a pleasant area for strolling and soaking in the lively atmosphere.
