Early morning or late afternoon offers soft light for photos and far fewer tourists; avoid midday in summer when heat and crowds peak.

About
Hızlı bilgiler: Taş döşeli geniş alanın rüzgârı, tuzlu deniz kokusunu ve güneşin sıcaklığını bir arada getiriyor; kemerlerin gölgesinde yürümek insanı hem küçük hem özgür hissettiriyor. Geniş meydan canlı etkinlikler, sokak sanatçıları ve devasa resmi törenlerle şehrin ritmini hissettiren bir sahneye dönüşüyor.
Öne çıkanlar: Kemerlerin altındaki Martinho da Arcada adlı kafe 1782'den beri açık, Fernando Pessoa'nın sık sık gelip sabah 'bica' kahvesini yudumladığı yer olarak anılıyor; kahve telvesinin acı-tatlı aroması ve eski ahşap sandalyelerin gıcırdaması hâlâ havada hissediliyor. Geniş taş meydanın nehre bakan cephesinde duran 18. yüzyıl atlı kral heykelinin gölgesinde yürürken, 1755 depreminden sonra Pombaline tarzıyla yeniden inşa edilen sarı ve krem cephelerin güneş tarafından ısıtılan taşları ayak tabanınızda gerçek bir tarih dokunuşu gibi hissediliyor.
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.
