Advantages: A Vibrant City with a Cosmopolitan Atmosphere Disadvantages: A bit hilly for some
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the earthquake of 1755, the Marques de Pombal who was one of Portugal's able statesmen set in motion a rapid and well planned reconstruction of the city. One of his lasting legacies is the Cidade Baixa. This orderly street plan stands in stark contrast to the rest of the city centre where narrow streets wind and merge with no particular pattern. There is no other part of the old town where the right angle is so dominant. Pombal left no room for palaces and churches. The buildings were intended as town houses for the middle classes and as outlets for traders such as jewellers and leather suppliers. The street names testify to the districts past. Rua dos Sapateiros near the Rossio was the street of shoemakers.' Lisbon's first cinema was established here and in 1907 was called The Animatografo do Rossio. Beautiful building to look ...

We only drank once in the smart tranquil bar of the Restaurant Blú at mezzanine level, which seems like as good a way of getting a tray full of peanuts without cracking open the mini-bar as any! Of course, you had to buy a drink??.yeah, yeah, I know - ?it?s a dirty job etc.?
