About
Fakta singkat: Luas lapangan terbuka membentang ke tepi air, memberi pemandangan langit lebar dan angin asin yang menyapu rambut pengunjung. Fasad bangunan kuning yang mengelilingi dan monumen berkuda di tengahnya sering jadi latar foto ikonik, sementara kafe-kafe di sisi alun-alun selalu ramai seperti panggung kecil kota.
Sorotan: Setelah gempa besar tahun 1755 yang meruntuhkan istana raja, Marquês de Pombal membentuk ulang area itu menjadi lapangan luas berpaving dan deretan arcaden kuning, sehingga pada sore hari angin asin dari air membawa bau laut dan bunyi camar yang terus mengapit langkahmu. Di tengah lapangan berdiri patung berkuda Raja José I karya Joaquim Machado de Castro, dan setiap 25 April orang-orang berkumpul di sana untuk merayakan Revolusi Anyelir, sebuah tradisi yang membuat suasana menjadi riuh, penuh pita merah dan nyanyian spontan.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobblestones and slight inclines can be slippery after rain.
- Best photos are taken from the centre of the square facing the Tagus, with the Rua Augusta arch framing the river.
- Avoid weekends midday by visiting early morning or around golden hour to escape tour groups.
- Step down to the riverside promenade for calmer views, and keep valuables secure in crowded areas.

4.3Sunset after 7pm was magical with fewer tourists. Street performers made it lively, though souvenir stalls are overpriced.
Went at noon on a Saturday, very crowded. Took a 20 euro boat tour that felt a bit overpriced, but there are great photo spots by the arch.
Arrived at 8am, almost empty and peaceful. Free to stroll the plaza and riverside, the views were worth it but cafes are pricey.
Visited with kids in the afternoon; lots of space for them to run. The plaza is free and lovely but nearby museum fees add to the day cost.
