Take a short break at Praça da Figueira, a lively Baixa square watched over by King John I on horseback. Sip a coffee at a terrace and watch downtown Lisbon pass by.
Full description
Praça da Figueira is an open square in central Lisbon with an equestrian statue of King John I at its centre. The square is ringed by shops, cafes and hotels, making it a convenient pause between the neighbouring Baixa streets.
It is open at all hours, free to visit, and needs only about 15 minutes, which suits couples and travellers who like seeing everyday local life. It works well as a place to sit with a coffee, orient yourself in the downtown grid, and break up a walking route rather than as a standalone destination.
