my bus stoped at Praca da Se and it was an ugly place, old buildings, people pee everywhere so it smells badly and is full of "pools"

The next one over from "Jesus Square", Praca da Se is the setting for one of the stages during Carnaval. Loud and fun, a good place to hang out and drink a beer or two during the festivities.

The cathedral is nice, there's a very good small museum nearby, Museu da Misericordia!

At night, be aware of thieves around the square. The light condition should be improved...
