This square is the border between the districts of Chiado and Bairro Alto, so here the Lisbonians often appoint a meeting place. It is not difficult to get there, you need to take the famous 28th tram. A bronze statue of the poet Luis Camões will tell us it's time to go out. The statue of the symbol of Portuguese literature, erected in 1867, stands surrounded by eight other significant figures of Portuguese literature, about which, unfortunately, most tourists have no idea.

Situated in downtown Lisbon, the square is surrounded by grand buildings and has some of the most impressive street tiles in a city that is famous for them.
