Baixa District
Lisbon’s Baixa district, also known as Baixa Pombalina,
Lisbon’s Baixa district, also known as Baixa Pombalina, is the heart of the city and one of its most iconic neighborhoods. After the 1755 earthquake, it was completely rebuilt with an innovative urban plan led by the Marquis of Pombal. The streets are wide, straight, and laid out in a grid pattern, surrounded by buildings with neoclassical architecture. During the tuk tuk tour, you’ll be able to admire places such as Rossio Square, with its famous cafés and wave-patterned pavement, Praça da Figueira, and the grand Praça do Comércio, facing the Tagus River. This area is perfect for experiencing the true spirit of Lisbon – among monuments, historic façades, traditional shops, and the lively street atmosphere. It’s also where many locals and visitors cross paths every day. Baixa is the perfect starting point to get to know the city, with fascinating stories, unique views, and an energy that blends tradition and modernity.
