Rua Augusta - Spring 2017
Rua Augusta is a street in
lower Lisbon near Praca do Comercio and the Tagus River. The architecture is old
and many of the structures are original. It is a very beautiful wide mosaic
tiled street that is closed to driving traffic. The street is a bit like
"Strøget" in Copenhagen, but is somewhat more dilapidated.
Rua Augusta - Winter 2008
Most of the day there is a
bustle in the pedestrian street, Rua Augusta, but this is also here you see most
jokers, beggars and street musicians. There is always something going on here
and for the same reason it can be recommended to sit down at one of the many
sidewalk cafes and enjoy the diversity that unfolds before one's eyes. However,
it is not one of the city's cheapest places.
Wanted It can be hard to
earn a living in a city like Lisbon. The woman on the right sang
from early morning until late evening without apparently giving any
special income even though the voice was excellent. If the voice is not
enough, you have to come up with something else and many line up in
often very painful positions to make themselves deserving of a few
Euros. The juggler at the bottom, however, had chosen to make more
out of the costume. The poor man on the
left was taken away after the police conferred with each other for
almost an hour. It was hard to understand that the crime was
commensurate with this major police effort.
Rua Augusta- Winter 2008
Rua Augusta is a lively pedestrian street decorated with mosaics, and here you will find fashion shops and sidewalk cafes side by side. The street is the most elegant in Baixa, located in the center of Lisbon.
The beautiful triumphal arch, Arco da Rua Augusta is seen in the background - Winter 2008
If you come from the sea side and walk through the triumphal arch, you come to the pedestrian street Rua Augusta, which is one of the many parallel streets in Baxia. In the past, the streets were divided according to the professions of the trades, but this is no longer the case. Rua Augusta - the most fashionable street in Lisbon - houses everything from exclusive international clothing stores to small simple sidewalk cafes.
Today's harvest is counted - Rua Augusta - Spring 2009
It is only natural to want to reward the poor who have dressed up most inventively or who perform something quite unique, but perhaps you should rather give your coins to those who are not as creative or no longer have the surplus to stretch out his hand - the ones you typically find lying on old cardboard boxes close to the house walls or on the hard wooden benches in the parks.

In the center of Lisbon, the police are very visible, but most of their time is spent answering tourists' questions and keeping an eye on the beggars in the cityscape. Crime is low compared to other big cities.
