Avenida da Liberdade, Tree-lined boulevard in central Lisbon, Portugal

The 1.5-kilometer avenue stretches from Restauradores Square to Marquês de Pombal Square, featuring wide pedestrian areas with Portuguese cobblestone patterns and decorative fountains.

The avenue emerged from the transformation of Passeio Público, an exclusive 18th-century park for nobility, into a Parisian-style boulevard between 1879 and 1886.

The avenue presents monuments dedicated to Portuguese figures, including a memorial for World War I soldiers and statues of writers Almeida Garrett and Alexandre Herculano.

Three metro stations serve the avenue: Restauradores, Avenida, and Marquês de Pombal, connecting visitors to different parts of Lisbon through the blue line.

The boulevard contains numerous international luxury brand stores and hotels, making it rank among the most expensive shopping streets in Europe.
