| Chiado Although it is in a walking distance, Chiado can be reached from Baixa by the Elevator Santa Justa. This is the glamorous neighbourhood of cafes, theaters, bookstores and fashion shops. Once the center of intellectual life, today it is one of the most fashionable neighborhoods in Lisbon. Rua Garrett: great spot to rest and perform the tradition: having a bica at Brasileira The Carmo area, next to the Chiado, has some of the most fascinating historical sites in the city, such as the Convent and Church of Carmo, which maintain their elegance and grandeur.

Following Rua Garret, passing shopping zone, is Largo de Chiado. Great spot to rest and perform the tradition: having a bica at “A Brasileira”, a café frequented by Fernando Pessoa, whom now, in order to commemorate his tradition, has a bronze statue on the esplanade.
On the 25th of August 1988, Chiado was devastated by a fire that started in a store in Carmo Street and that spread to Garrett Street. Even though there are still some scars of that disaster, a massive renovation programme has brought todays Chiado back to life and it is better than ever.
