Eduardo VII Park
Big Garden with a wonderful view over the city and the Tagus River.
This waterfront area between Praça do Comércio and Cais do Sodré was where many of the Portuguese explorers' ships were built. Today, after a redevelopment in 2013, it's a spacious landscaped promenade that invites you to sit in the sun.
The redevelopment included the recreation of an old dock, but this is essentially a contemporary public space, largely pedestrianized. The two-lane traffic separates a staircase that descends towards the water and a park that extends towards the buildings of the Portuguese Navy.
Although swimming is not allowed, this is considered the "beach" of central Lisbon, and there is a kiosk with a terrace for those who want to sit and admire the scenery.
Next to the terrace is a monument dedicated to artist Almada Negreiros, placed in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of his birth.

Basilica of the Star
Praça da EstrelaBeautiful church.
Praça do Comércio is the most important square in Lisbon. For decades, it was Lisbon's gateway to maritime commerce.
Praça do Comércio
Triumphal Arch of Augusta Street
The square was built where the Royal Palace was before it was destroyed by the great earthquake of 1755.
The face of Praça do Comércio is formed by a set of buildings installed on three of its sides and is open on the south side, looking at the Tagus River. Historically, the merchant boats arrived there and that was the door of Lisbon.
Near the square, on the river bank, is the river station Cais de Sodré, from where the excursions by the Tagus and the boats that cross the river leave.
