Next, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, an imposing monument in the shape of a caravel that highlights important characters connected to the Discoveries and Portugal's glorious past.

Already in the city center, enjoy the beautiful Praça do Comércio, one of Europe's largest squares, once the Royal Palace of Portugal, now home to some of the Portuguese government's ministries. Here you will also find the oldest café in the city, the famous "Martinho da Arcada", which was once frequented by the famous Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa.

On your way back to Marquês de Pombal Square, take in the beautiful squares of D. Pedro IV, better known as Rossio, and Restauradores before entering Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon's version of the Parisian Champs-Elysées lined with beautiful old buildings, theaters, and large luxury stores.
