Discover some of the most stunning and attractive streets in the city of Lisbon.
Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo
Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, in Lisbon, which connects Travessa do Cabral to Largo do Calhariz was chosen as the most beautiful street in the world alongside the Champs-Élysées and 5th Avenue.
Steps of São Cristóvão
In the centre of Lisbon, on the walls of centuries-old buildings that line a lengthy flight of steps that leads from R. da Madalena to the Church of S. Cristóvo, vibrant graffiti matches an equally vibrant mural on the other wall. The painting pays homage to St. Christopher as well as the musical genre known as Fado. Fado is a traditional folk dance from Portugal that is performed in tiny pubs and taverns all throughout the city as part of the city’s rich heritage.
The mural is located in Escadinhas de São Cristóvo (Steps to St. Christopher) in the Mouraria area of Lisbon, which is considered to be the birthplace of Fado. Escadinhas de São Cristóvo is a Portuguese phrase that means “Steps to St. Christopher.” The jumble of colours that may be seen there creates the impression that one is truly standing within an artwork.

Rua do Vale
St. Peter’s Street
With the celebration of three Popular Saints, St. Anthony, St. John and St. Peter, June is a month of sweet, tasty, colourful and exciting parties.
St. Peter is the saint whose feast day is celebrated in the most understated manner. Bonfires are lighted, poles are hoisted with his flag, and procession routes are set up in his honour.

Rua Cor de Rosa (or Rua Nova do Carvalho)
Lisbon boasts a number of streets with coloured tarmac that are worth taking a stroll along, but Rua Nova do Carvalho, often known as Rua Cor de Rosa or Pink Street by practically every one, is arguably the most well-known.
Rua Nova de Carvalho, located in Cais do Sodré, was “painted” in this hue in 2013, and it rapidly became renowned for hosting Lisbon’s nightlife. If you visit today, you’ll discover even more colours, thanks to the bright hats that were hanging by the top of your trip, as well as other colourful items.
Praça das Flores
It is considered to be one of Lisbon’s greatest squares.
What makes the square so attractive is the sense of calm that permeates the area all of the time. The park comprises primarily of calçadas with benches and a tiny fountain, which is about the extent of its amenities. There are also numerous trees in this area, which helps to keep the temperature down and gives you shade on hot days.
Rua de São Domingos à Lapa
Figueira’s Sidewalk
Arrochela’s Traverse
Beating alley
Corvinha alley
Adiça street
Santana’s sidewalk
A little distance away from the Torel viewpoint, the Santana promenade is located in the centre of Lisbon. It is a picturesque, tiny, and steep street that is steeped in history. It was at this door that the immortal poet Luís de Camões passed away, and it was through this door that the fado diva Amália Rodrigues was born. Balcony number 198, which is bordered by lions, which are emblems of strength and power, also stands out on this pavement.
Additionally, the route includes a detour to the Calçada Nova do Colégio and Rua Martim Vaz, which leads to the courtyard of the Santos monastery and the Santos courtyard. You will arrive at the Hospital de So José in a few minutes if you continue going in this direction. Additionally, the Igreja da Pena, one of the city’s original churches, can be seen on this street. In the distance, you can view the lovely Tagus River.
Chiado Square
Rua dos Remedios
Flanked by some fado taverns, these are the most attractive streets in Alfama. At the beginning of Rua dos Remédios, on the left, see the Manueline portal of Espírito Santo Church and, a little further away, at nº 2 of Calçadinha de Santo Estêvão, another portal from the same period.

Rua da Silva
