Onur’s pick

Rossio

Wave-patterned paving and a Baixa starting point for the river or the avenue.

In short

Rossio is Onur’s central Lisbon starting point in Baixa, with wave-patterned paving worth looking down at before you move on. Pick one direction: Rua Augusta towards the river, or Restauradores and the avenue. Give that walk time rather than rushing to do both versions of the city in one go.
