Avenida da Liberdade
It all begins with an idea.
A stroll along Lisbon's tree lined main boulevard will surprise you.
Avenue Liberdade stretches uphill from downtown Lisbon to the beautiful Praça do Marquês de Pombal and the Parque Eduardo VI and is the main avenue in the city where many of you will be staying close to in hotels. Good news is that in a city built on hills and this part is relatively flat, however it was bad news for the locals back in 1755 as it was an earthquake which flattened this district.
