Avenida da Liberdade (Liberty Avenue) is an avenue in central Lisbon, in Portugal. It is located between Restauradores Square and the Marquis of Pombal Square.
The avenue was built between 1879 and 1882, modelled after the boulevards of Paris. Its creation was a landmark in the Northwards expansion of the city.
Many of the original buildings of the avenue have been replaced in the last decades by tall office and hotel buildings. Nowadays it boasts several interesting buildings that reflect Portuguese architecture from the late 19th through the early 21st centuries. Its pedestrian sidewalks and roundabouts are decorated with many monuments and statues. [*]
Here is where I drink my cofee and spend my one hour and a half time Lunch!

Oi, Bom dia.
By accident I came on your profile. I lived in Lisboa (rua Viana da Mota,Av. Infante Santo) and Rinchoa from 1956 - end of 1960. Was back once in 1978, never been able to return again. But Lisboa e no meu coracao para sempre. Does the pasteleria de Bijou at the av. da Liberdade still exist ?
