Augusta Street
(Rua Augusta)
is the main street of Lisbon
Downtown.
It
is full of life and tourists all year. It never stops, except for
Saturday afternoons and Sundays when it slows down a little because
the shops are closed.
Here you can always find various
street artists
who show their work, playing music, drawing and painting
or just being still like a statue.
If
you get hungry or
thirsty you can stop in one of the restaurants or coffee shops. You can
buy souvenirs or other articles in one of the street shops.
Explore the parallel and perpendicular streets, like the Gold Street (Rua do Ouro) and
the Silver Street
(Rua da Prata)
and discover other fine street shops.
At
the end of the street you will find one of the greatest Lisbon
Monuments - the Lisbon
Triumphal Arch.
