One of the liveliest squares in Lisbon, Rossio Square is the perfect spot to stop, sit, relax, and take in all of Lisbon’s beauty. There are many cafes in the square, some of which have outdoor seating and make it a wonderful spot for people watching and enjoying the pleasant Portugal weather; one of the popular cafes that visitors enjoy is the art deco style Cafe Nicola.
There are many aspects of the square that visitors, especially architecture lovers, will enjoy, including the large baroque fountains, the cobblestone pavement in a wave pattern, the Dona Maria II National Theater, and a statue of the playwright Gil Vicente.
