Lisbon Apartment Prata Pombalina
Managed by PortugueseLiving
Right in the middle of Rua da Prata, heart of the 18th. Century Pombaline downtown, we have 70 square metres combining history with contemporary times. The Lisbon Apartment Prata Pombalina has been recently refurbished by the owner and yet to be used, it is just right for someone who wants to stay in the heart of Lisbon.
The recent refurbishment works took the trouble to maintain the original outline, keeping the cage system, typical of the Pombaline buildings - we have to remember that the Baixa downtown area was completely rebuilt following the 1755 earthquake, with the creation of a pioneering anti-seismic construction at the time - with the apartment serving as a divider between the different spaces of the house. Another important feature of the history of this house is, for example, the stone of the windows.
The décor opted for comfort, but left untouched the beauty of the house. The architecture, the long floorboard, the natural light ... here you can feel a typical house of this magnificent historical centre, with the company of the river!
The Baixa downtown is the nerve centre of Lisbon. It is the centre of shopping, on each perpendicular street you will find many shops, cafés, restaurants, to suit all tastes and pockets. It represents the touristic hub, since it is here that you find the imposing squares.
Here also culture, a crucial factor in the development of a city, is imposing, with the Dona Maria National Theatre as a symbol.
Prata Pombalina is the ideal apartment for those who like to go about on foot. Walking through the Baixa is to get to know Lisbon, a Lisbon marked by its architecture, marked by the grand Terreiro do Paço square, recently restored and now for pedestrians only. Down at the bottom the Tagus and Christ the King statue welcome those who visit the Portuguese capital.
Being a central point, it is very close to Rua do Carmo, the streets that links with the Chiado and further up with Bairro Alto. This is also the city´s area where you have all means of public transport, with no place in the city's map left out without a visit.

Baixa
Take the Santa Justa lift (Largo do Carmo/Rua do Ouro). You will arrive in Lisbon's downtown. Yes, now we can say: Welcome to Lisbon!
Lisbon´s downtown baixa (or Pombaline downtown) is the visiting card of the city of Lisbon. Strolling through baixa is living the 18th. century. The whole area was rebuilt by Marquês de Pombal following the 1755 earthquake. The parallel and perpendicular streets create an almost perfect network. The buildings, all similar, look like a stage-setting. In several aspects, the reconstruction of Baixa was pioneering: the anti-seismic systems and the sewage network are examples of this.
Today, this part of town is par excellence an area of commerce and services, a meeting point for Lisboners and tourists alike. Rua Augusta has a very fast pace, mainly during the day. It is here that you shop (there are shops for all purses). You can lunch at one of the sidewalk cafés, buy flowers, watch street performances. At the end of Rua Augusta you will see the triumphal Arch as a passage into Praça do Comércio (or Terreiro do Paço). 36000 m2 of a majestic square built to reaffirm the power of King D. José I. As impressive as the square is the River Tagus, right in front. The view from Cais das Colunas leaves no one untouched.
In Baixa you can find pleasant cafés and restaurants, at a good price and ... authentic. "Café do Gelo" (Praça D. Pedro IV, 64) is the exmaple of a café which travelled through times and remained updated. The pastries are assorted and will not let you down. They also serve meals. A little further up (numbers 24 and 25) is "Café Nicola", whose nickname "Academia" reveals that, in times past, it was a meeting place for intellectuals and artists. Undoubtedly, it remains a treasure preserved in the heart of the capital. On the other side of the square is Pastelaria Suiça, the huge parisian type sidewalk café. Surrender yourself!
Renew your wardrobe and your home. The suggestions are several: for handbags and wallets "J&J" (Rua da Prata, 134-136) for hats "Chapelarias Azevedo" (Praça D. Pedro IV, 69 and 72), for houseware "Soho Interiores" (Rua da Madalena, 216). If you are looking for the company of a book, peep into "Oficina do Livro" (Praça D. Pedro IV, 23) or "Circulo de Leitores" (Rua do Ouro, 224). At Rua do Ouro (as the name implies gold), there is a vast concentration of goldsmiths and jewellers. It is worth stepping into some of them just to admire the decoration.
End your evening in a grand manner at Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, Lisbon's great theatre house. Because the history of the city is built every day and art helps you be part of it.
