Often regarded as the heart of a city, town squares are usually thronging with life and colorful characters. See what's going on at Liberty Square and look for clues to its long history.

This public square is often on the itineraries of travelers to Historic Center. But Liberty Square isn't the only drawcard in the area. Imperial Museum, Quintandinha Palace, and Bohemia Brewery are some other interesting sights nearby.

I can’t say enough great things Vila da Santa! Excellent, helpful, friendly (especially Javier) staff! The restaurant is top tier! Food, service, ambience, and decor. The location is perfect. On the beach and most everything else a short walk. And the breakfast can’t be beat! So many delicious options! Would absolutely recommend!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (433 reviews)

Breakfast menu was unparalleled. So many options on the buffet, all delicious, and the menu items are prepared to perfection. The staff is warm, attentive and kind. The property is beautiful, with superb design and attention to details, surrounded in lush greenery. The pool area is so luxurious, we didn't want to leave it. I would heartily recommend.
