Largo do chiado and praça luis de camões are two connected squares in the area dotted with elegant shops, cafés and “casas de fado”. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view from the intersecting street to the river tagus in the distance, nice proportions, lots of content, a space for people watching, interesting paving, and two monuments. All of these factors make largo do chiado a very good example what can be done in a big city to preserve most of a square’s traditional values.[*]

This is gorgeous!! I could go for a nice cup of coffee, Lisbon style, while sitting outside watching people ... and sneaking a photo every once in awhile! I'm in love with Lisbon!
É lindo, lindo, lindo!!!
Mais um momento muito bem conseguido.
Yours is the most beautiful blog on the portal.
