Things to do in Commerce Square
Lisbon’s Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), situated on the site of the former Royal Palace, is the city’s main square today. Looking over the Tagus River from its south side, Commerce Square is the cultural and commercial heart of Lisbon. Closed on three sides by its characteristic yellow painted buildings, there is an abundance of architectural beauty to admire from Commerce Square including the Rua Augusta Arch and the Equestrian Statue of Joseph I. Formerly the docking port for all goods arriving in Lisbon, this was truly the most bustling point of the city. Although no longer an active commercial port, the square maintains its significance today as the “door” to Lisbon. Near all major central attractions of the city, a tour around the Praça do Comércio is a must-do on any trip to Lisbon!

Reviews Commerce Square
“Well worth it to save time and money - we used the card for the trams, the buses, the train and for entrance into the Castle and Monastery. Highly recommend it. The train journey to Cascais was a particular hi-light, lovely place by the sea, regular service, trains on time.”
“A wonderful walking tour that sets the scene as to why and how Lisboa came to be. Also lots of hints and tips on what to do. A must if you have not been to Lisboa before and make sure you do this at ghe beginning of your holiday so you can benefit from the tour. Ps. Our guide was Daniel. 5 star”
“Was great seeing the city from an expert!”
