Known forsquareBaixalandmark
Rossio, officially Praça de Dom Pedro IV, has been Lisbon's main gathering square for centuries, paved with the famous wave-patterned black-and-white cobblestones and framed by baroque fountains, a central column and the Dona Maria II National Theatre. Cafés and kiosks line the edges, making it a natural spot to pause between the Baixa and Bairro Alto. It's busy and touristy, and the cobbles can be slippery in the rain.
