Description
INTRODUCTION
Portugal has always been Europe’s best kept secret – a vibrant, bustling trading hub nestled in some of the most beautiful scenery Southern Europe has to offer, with a climate to match.
A welcoming city called with magic, Lisbon proudly displays its status as the westernmost capital of the continent and the most inspiring: with its romantic labyrinthine streets and stories playing out on a panoramic cityscape overlooking the river.
The warm light plays across Lisbon’s seven hills accentuating its vast cultural heritage: the historical downtown of Chiado, Lapa, Baixa and Alfama, the sensual rhythms of fado from the nightlife district of Bairro Alto and the contemporary art and culture in Principe Real and Santos.
But all the vibrancy and excitement belie Portugal’s status as a leading business capital of Europe, in many ways still the administrative centre of the many Portuguese-speaking countries around the globe. From international nancial and accounting firm to legal and consulting services, Lisbon’s business centre is an incredibly diverse and profitable, truly international hub.
CHIADO
Chiado, situated on one of the seven hills that compose Lisbon, is a perfect balance of the classical and the modern. A neighbourood popular with both tourists and locals alike, it effortlessly showcases all the facets of contemporary Lisbon, with fashion boutiques and design stores contained in the classical lines and elegant facades of 18th Century Pombaline architecture.
The area is named after António Ribeiro Chiado, a famous 16th Century Lisbon playright, and the roads and squares celebrate Lisbon’s rich cultural history. The heart of Chiado is the bustling mosaic-tiled Praça Luís de Camões, honouring Porugal’s most famous poet & adventurer, Luis Vas de Camões. The 16th century author of the epic poem, The Luciads, is considered Portugal’s Shakespeare, and his love for Portugal and Lisbon is celebrated throughout his works.
Connected to the square, Rua Garrett — named for João Baptista da Silva Leitão de Almeida Garrett, 19th century poet and playwright – is a bustling shopping street full of designer names and the latest fashions, full of life every hour of the day. Heading down towards the majestic Tagus river is one of Lisbon’s main historical thoroughfares, Rua do Alecrim, connecting the gentility and elegance of Chiado with the vibrancy and bustle of Cais do Sodre, an exciting nightlife district full of the nest bars and restaurants.
Chiado truly has surprises hidden around every corner. Just when you think you’ve discovered everything the area has to offer, you follow a tram round to a hidden garden, picturesque café or an impromptu street performance and you are reminded that you have barely scratched the surface of this most special neighbourhood of Lisbon.
