Located in downtown Lisbon, Rua do Carmo is a pedestrian street of great commercial importance that connects Praça do Rossio to Chiado. Very busy and with many shops with national brands, some of them with many years of history, but also international ones, the street is also known by the old truck that sells music CD's and charms the passers-by with the sounds of Fado that emanates from its speakers.

Chiado

It is considered to be one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Lisbon today, but the truth is that Chiado has never gone out of fashion. Its charm was well evidenced by great figures of the arts and literature in the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Eça de Queiroz and Fernando Pessoa, who used to frequent this area in a Lisbon of other times and referred to it in their works.
