Stand in Praça do Comércio, the vast yellow-walled square that opens onto the Tagus. Pass beneath the triumphal arch, stroll the arcades, and watch the river light change toward evening.

Full description

Praça do Comércio is a large public square opening onto the river, enclosed on three sides by elegant yellow buildings with arcades that hold cafes and shops. Its triumphal arch and central statue make it one of Lisbon's most recognisable spaces.

Reviewers favour it at sunset, when the light hits the facades and the riverfront, and note the constant flow of people and the yellow trams passing nearby. It is free, open around the clock, and about 20 minutes covers it, though many visitors linger for a drink along the arcades.
