Revel in Lisbon’s beauty from the best spot atop Arco da Rua Augusta

A special upper view of the downtown? Here’s where you get it. Arco da Rua Augusta was built in 1873 to commemorate the city's reconstruction after the earthquake of 1755.

After climbing up some stairs, you’ll see all the streets from Baixa on one side, and Terreiro do Paço and the river on the other side. And let’s be honest: pretty amazing, right?

Try and go during the week to avoid having to wait in line! 

From here, you can see all the madness at Terreiro do Paço. There’s a lot a people down there, right?

Since this is downtown, there’s a lot of typical old buildings around there. They’re gorgeous!
