Avenida da Liberdade (Portuguese for "Avenue of Liberty") is a boulevard in central Lisbon, Portugal, considered among the most expensive streets in Europe.^[1] Originating in the Passeio Público, an 18th-century park built for the Portuguese nobility, the avenue was constructed between 1879 and 1886, when the former park was turned into a major boulevard, marking the city's northward expansion during the 19th century. The Avenida is also home to numerous embassies and diplomatic missions.^[2][3]

The Avenida connects Marquis of Pombal Square in the north to Restauradores Square, marking the entrance to the Lisbon Baixa. Locals commonly refer to it simply as"Avenida" (the Avenue).
