Grand Architecture & Plazas: The district connects the stunning Praça do Comércio (Terreiro do Paço) on the waterfront to the bustling Rossio Square. The Majestic Arco da Rua Augusta: Cruising or walking under this monumental triumphal arch connects the waterfront promenade directly to Baixa's main pedestrian thoroughfare.
