Baixa

Good for pastry shops, tinned seafood and a grid of streets down to the river.

Baixa is the flat grid between Rossio and the river, and it is better for eating than for sightseeing. Conserveira de Lisboa sells tinned seafood to a loyal crowd, Confeitaria Nacional has been baking bolo rei for over 180 years, and A Ginjinha pours cherry liqueur through a window. Manteigaria and Fábrica da Nata handle the custard tarts, Gambrinus does seafood and has done since 1936, and the Santa Justa Lift is the iron elevator you climb for the rooftop view. Go early.
