Chiado is the most elegant and glamourous area in Lisboa.
Chiado´s location is between La Baixa and Bairro Alto. All famous portuguese writers from ending XIX and XX century used to meet at Chiado. Fernando Pessoa was born there and has a statue in Rua Garrett.
In august 1988 a big fire started in Chiado and reached Rua Garrett, destroying not only shops and offices but very important historic buildings. Chiado recovered in a decade thanks to a recuperation project led by famous architect Alvaro Siza.
Rua Garrett is the very heart of Chiado, core of intellectual Lisboa´s life in the XX century. Their limits are up with Largo do Chiado and Rua do Carmo down. All around you can find Opera Theatre Sao Carlos, Sao Luiz and Trindade Theatres, famous bookshops, Café la Brasileira and Carmo Archeologic Museum. All area is well known as per most famous Brand shops, restaurants, cafés and bars. Just in the limit with Rua Misericordia there is Bairro Alto full of graffitis, clothes hanging from Windows, restaurants and bars and probably best fados to enjoy.
