Streets like Rua Augusta are pedestrian-friendly and lead to various shops and restaurants. This area is the great base for first-time visitors who want to be close to many of Lisbon's main attractions and have excellent public transport connections.For couples looking for a romantic and slightly quieter experience, the Alfama district, located on one of Lisbon's seven hills just east of Baixa, is an excellent choice.
