Lisbon Travel―Visiting Praça do Comércio and Its Nearby Areas

Praça do Comércio facing the Tagus (Tejo) to the South

Praça do Comércio (or Town Center⭐⭐) is the most magnificent plaza in Lisbon, and one of the highlights of the city.^[1]

The plaza reflected the wealth and ambitions of Portugal during the late 18th century. It was here that captains and merchants would plan perious sea-voyages to Brazil, India and South East Asia and then trade their goods on returning.
