Looking down Rua Augusta Rosa and up Rua da Saudade where they part ways in the Alfama district of Lisbon. The well known number 28 tram comes this way

Part of the Jardim da Estrela (Estrela Garden) is one of Lisbon's biggest and best and enjoyed by all generations

A villa in the typical styling for this area. This one is located on the main coastal road between Lisbon and Estoril

Rua Garrett, perhaps Lisbon's most up market shopping street. The street, which leads from the Baixa to Chiado, is named after the writer Almeida Garrett. Running nearly 30 metres (90 feet) above the street is the bridge linking the Elevador de Santa Justa to Largo do Carmo

One of the fountains in Lisbon's main square Rossio (Praca Dom Pedro IV). Above and behind are the ruins of the Convento de Carmo which collapsed on the Sunday congregation during the earthquake of 1755

Lisbon's main square - Praca Dom Pedro IV, more commonly known as Rossio. Situated at the northern end of the Baixa, Rossio is Lisbon's oldest square and was previously home to the Inquisitional Palace where heretics where tried and, often as not, executed. In the background is the National Theatre (Teatro Nacional de Dona Maria II) The statue in front is of Dom Pedro IV

Looking from Largo de Chiado towards Praca dos Camoes. The statue in the foreground is (I think?!) poet Luís de Camões, cast in 1867, by sculptor Vítor Bastos

Looking along the bridge that connects Largo do Carmo to the Elevador de Santa Justa and out over Lisbon. The 33 metre (100ft) high elevator was built in 1902 by Raul Mesnier who was unsuprisingly inspired by Eiffel.

The upper portion is actually a rooftop cafe - only for those without a fear of heights!
