largo do chiado and praça luis de camões are two connected squares in the area dotted with elegant shops, cafés and “casas de fado”. from here you can enjoy a beautiful view from the intersecting street to the river tagus in the distance, nice proportions, lots of content, a space for people watching, interesting paving, and two monuments. all of these factors make largo do chiado a very good example what can be done in a big city to preserve most of a square’s traditional values.
