Lisbon’s Best Shopping Neighbourhoods & Streets

The biggest brands have stores in the Baixa, Chiado and adjacent areas. These offer some of the best streets for shopping in downtown Lisbon.

Rua do Carmo & Rua Garrett

Two of Lisbon’s best shopping streets, Rua do Carmo (just over Santa Justa Lift ) and Rua Garrett are home to the city’s oldest and most popular shops.

• Look for big brands such as Apple (GSM Store), Benetton, Bershka, H&M, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Nike, Pull & Bear, Zara, and many others.
• Step into the centenary-old Bertrand bookshop and go back in time.
• Admire the elegance of French style boutiques and shop for linen, silk and embroidery made from finest cloth at Paris em Lisboa .
• Take a selfie with the statue of Fernando Pessoa, Portugal’s most celebrated twentieth century poet, at the famous café A Brasileira . Then pop next door and sample the best croissants in Lisbon at Pastelaria Benard .
• Seek out a curious little shop on Rua do Carmo in a building with a neoclassical façade. Luvaria Ulisses is the last establishment in Lisbon dedicated exclusively to gloves and mittens.
• Go to a shopping centre right in the historic centre of Lisbon. Armazéns do Chiado offers some top-floor eateries, a large Fnac store, and several fashion and cosmetics stores.
• Get off the beaten track by slipping into a side street – Rua Anchieta 11 is home to A Vida Portuguesa, a great shop for picking up “typically Portuguese” souvenirs .
• Visit Vista Alegre Atlantis for the best Portuguese porcelain and crystal pieces.
• Enjoy a custard tart ( pastel de nata ) at nearby Manteigaria (Rua do Loreto 2).
• Have lunch or dinner at one of Chiado’s top restaurants .

Rua Augusta

Buzzing with tourists, street performers, shoppers, business people, and occasional street canvassers, the pedestrian Rua Augusta offers a good range of fashion stores on your way to Terreiro do Paço and the River Tejo.

• Find several Inditex chains owned by Amancio Ortega Gaona, such as Zara, Pull & Bear and Stradivarius. Other brand favourites include Benetton and Mango.
• Are you a football fan? Benfica Official Store offers a selection of products (football shirts and accessories, training gear) for those who don’t get the chance to visit the Benfica Stadium .
• Take a break from your shopping trip with a stop at Amorino, a gelato chain that serves Italian style ice cream in locations all over the world, including on Rua Augusta 209, Lisbon.

Avenida da Liberdade

Stroll along one of the most elegant shopping streets in Lisbon, which offers some of Europe’s most expensive luxury brands.

• Shop on Lisbon’s priciest street, home to European fashion houses (think Cartier, Dior, Escada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Versace).
• Look for mid-priced fashion stores alongside luxury brands, including Guess, Mango, and Massimo Dutti.
• Refuel at Seen (9th floor of the Tivoli Hotel), one of the best restaurants in Lisbon serving a fusion of Brazilian and Portuguese cuisines.
• Or head straight for burgers, fries and Portuguese beer with a flavour of rock and roll at Lisbon’s Hard Rock Cafe.

Rua da Escola Politécnica & Rua Dom Pedro V

Nearby, Príncipe Real mixes souvenirs with antiques and designer clothes in one of Lisbon’s trendiest neighbourhoods.

• Grab an irreverent, Caribbean style swimsuit at Latitid in the Embaixada Shopping Gallery, one of the most iconic building in Príncipe Real, home to other cool stores.
• Pick up sustainable goodies from Stró, a Portuguese brand that values artisanal and small-scale manufacturing of blankets, slippers, scarves, bags, hats, shirts, and more.
• Admire the Portuguese azulejos (hand-painted tiles) at Solar Antiques, featuring 15th and 16th centuries tiles, and beautiful handmade tile panels and pottery. From around €10 you can get a nice hand painted tile to take home.

• Discover ethically made fashion, beauty and home products at Fair Bazaar.
• Refresh yourself with lunch at the one of the best restaurants in Príncipe Real .

Lisbon’s Shopping Centres & Department Stores

Lisbon has big indoor shopping centres not far from downtown, accessible on public transport (besides many other malls further away).

• Flock to Amoreiras Shopping Centre, Lisbon’s first big shopping centre built in the 1980s. It shelters numerous cafés, restaurants and shops, including luxury shops, and ten movie theatres. Take the vintage tram 24 to get there.
• Look for big brands all in one place at the famous El Corte Inglés. The largest department store in Lisbon has also a gourmet space on the 7th floor, and a supermarket underground, connected to the São Sebastião metro station (blue line).
• Enjoy a full shopping experience at Colombo, the biggest shopping centre in the Iberian Peninsula, with over 340 stores, including 60 restaurants and 8 movie theatres. You can get there by metro (Colégio Militar/Luz station on blue line).
• Head to the Parque das Nações for a visit to the Oceanarium , Europe’s largest aquarium, and stop at Vasco da Gama, another big indoor shopping centre with 170 stores (of which 33 are restaurants), as well as 6 movie theatres, and direct access to the metro (Oriente station).

The Best Markets in Lisbon

Whether you’re looking for something different or shopping on a budget, a trip to one of Lisbon’s outdoor markets is sure to provide you with inspiration.

• Find both junk and gems at Feira da Ladra , Lisbon’s oldest flea market, every Tuesday and Saturday morning.
• Indulge on typical Portuguese products such as cheese, sausages and wine at Praça da Figueira on the last weekend of each month (Thursday to Sunday).
• Stroll along Avenida da Liberdade and peruse antiques and collectables as well as organic products at Feira da Avenida that takes place on the second weekend of each month (May to October also fourth weekend of each month).

Other markets operate here as well: an antique market on the last Saturday and Monday of each month, the Portugal Real market offering regional products on the second Friday and Saturday of each month, and Sabor de Perdição, a craft market on the first Friday and Saturday of each month.
• Visit the Mercado da Ribeira, a traditional market of fresh fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses and fish, operating alongside the popular food court Time Out Market Lisboa .

LISBON SHOPPING

The best stores and shopping streets.

L isbon remains Western Europe's least expensive capital and shopping is also a cultural experience, especially when visiting historic stores like the tiny "Luvaria Ulisses" glove shop and "Casa das Velas do Loreto" for candles (Rua do Loreto, 53). The city isn't particularly big on markets, but there is a flea market (called Feira da Ladra ) by the National Pantheon every Saturday and Tuesday mornings, and a colorful market of fresh produce open every morning on the waterfront (Mercado da Ribeira). We've selected some of the best shops you may want to browse for fashion, handicrafts, design, music, and more:

Top 10 Shops

• EMBAIXADA Praça do Príncipe Real, 26 (Príncipe Real) What started as a palatial residence in the 1800s is now Lisbon's most interesting shopping destination. Converted into a concept store in 2013, its rooms spread over two floors are now dedicated to lifestyle products, mostly from Portuguese designers and brands.

• A VIDA PORTUGUESA Rua Anchieta, 11 (Chiado) It instantly became one of the city's most famous shops when it opened in 2007. It attracted the attention of locals for offering long-forgotten products made in Portugal, and the curiosity of tourists who enjoyed the retro packagings. It's all presented in a former storage space filled with wooden cabinets, and it's one of the places to get Portugal's famous soaps.

• CORK & CO. Rua das Salgadeiras, 10 (Bairro Alto) Well located on a quiet street in Bairro Alto, here you'll see that anything is possible with cork. The eco-friendly material that Portugal is famous for is presented here in the form of fashions, accessories, and furniture.

• PELCOR Patio do Tijolo, 16. (Principe Real) The brand with the seal of approval of New York's MoMA Store has a shop hidden in the Príncipe Real neighborhood, where it offers its award-winning cork design pieces, from handbags to shoes, to even umbrellas.

• LOJA DA BUREL Rua Serpa Pinto, 15B (Chiado) Not as famous as cork, but also a genuine Portuguese product, is the wool from the Serra da Estrela mountain range in the center of the country. At this shop it's put to innovative uses, like protective tablet covers, backpacks, and rugs.

• CONSERVEIRA DE LISBOA Rua dos Bacalhoeiros, 34 (Baixa) It comes recommended in every guidebook. It's an old-fashioned shop from the 1930s, offering just one product -- canned fish. But they're no ordinary cans and it's no ordinary fish. They come in attractive vintage-designed packagings that make them wonderful gifts or souvenirs, and the fish is from Portugal's Atlantic waters, known for their quality (tuna, sardines, squid, etc., in a variety of sauces). The interior hasn't changed in decades, including an old cash register, and that's also part of the attraction.

• TOUS (OURIVESARIA ALIANÇA) Rua Garrett, 50 (Chiado) For over 100 years, this was the jewelry store "Ourivesaria Aliança," and that's the name you still see above the door. However, in 2012 it was taken over by Spanish brand Tous, although the interior was kept intact. It remains Lisbon's most beautiful shop, a regal Louis XV-style space that's much photographed by tourists.

• BERTRAND Rua Garrett, 73-75 (Chiado) It may look like an ordinary old bookstore, but as you'll see on the tiled façade, it was founded in 1732. That makes it the world's oldest bookshop, and a Guinness World Records certificate on a wall to the left of the entrance proves it. At the back are international periodicals, and a few English-language books. It's a good place to look for translated Portuguese literature from names like Nobel-Prize author José Saramago or Fernando Pessoa.

• LUVARIA ULISSES Rua do Carmo, 87A (Chiado) Competing for the title of "world's smallest shop," this is a tiny glimpse into 1920s glamour. In the Art Deco space fits only about two or three people at a time, looking for hand-made gloves that never go out of style.

• A ARTE DA TERRA Rua Augusto Rosa, 40 (Alfama) It could be a gallery or even an ethnographic museum, but this shop by the cathedral is a former 12th-century stable that offers the arts and crafts from different parts of Portugal. It's worth going inside, even if just to see how the old stone mangers and brick arches now display pieces of art.

What to Buy

CORK DESIGN Portugal produces most of the world's cork, and today it's not just for bottles anymore. This eco-friendly material is now used for all kinds of design products and fashion accessories, that have gone international since New York's MoMA started selling them at its store. Look for the Pelcor and Cork & Co. stores in Lisbon. SHOES Italian shoes are considered the world's finest, but those "Made in Portugal" are now their main competitors. They range from quite reasonably priced to expensive. SOAPS Oprah Winfrey said they're one of her favorite things, so the world is now also a fan of Portuguese soaps. But they're not recent products. They've been made since the 1800s and are 100% natural. They've maintained beautiful Art Deco and Art Nouveau packagings from the 1920s, and have become one of the favorite gifts to take from Portugal. The brands to look for at local gift shops are Claus Porto, Ach Brito, Castelbel and Confiança. GOLD The Portuguese developed a love affair with gold ever since Portugal filled its churches and palaces with that precious material from Brazil. So the gold jewelry now sold in Lisbon has more karats than elsewhere in Europe (at least 19.2), and some of the jewelry stores in the Chiado district are the city's most beautiful shops . WINE & GOURMET PRODUCTS Portugal is one of Europe's major wine-producing countries and there's more than Port Wine. You may find labels from north to south of the country at the wine stores in Baixa, and will also discover the local cheeses, the emblematic canned fish, the award-winning olive oil, and the famous pastries for a gourmet basket to take back home. CRAFTS & CERAMICS Embroidery and handicrafts are found in many shops in Lisbon's tourist areas, but to make sure they're really Portuguese, look at the price -- if expensive, it's the real thing. Check out A Arte da Terra not far from the cathedral in Alfama and Vista Alegre Atlantis in Chiado for the best pieces. Also don't leave without checking out the wonderful tiles at Solar in the Principe Real neighborhood and at Fabrica Sant'anna in Chiado.

Shopping Districts

CHIADO The biggest shopping district in town used to be home to the most exclusive local stores, but they're now mostly international names like Zara and H&M. The main streets are Rua do Carmo and Rua Garrett, where you'll also find the world's oldest bookstore (Bertrand) and the city's most beautiful jewelry shop (Tous - Ourivesaria Aliança). PRINCIPE REAL This has become the most interesting shopping district, down one long street (Rua Dom Pedro V, which eventually becomes Rua da Escola Politécnica). There are galleries, independent boutiques and design shops for the city's hippest crowds, as well as the most beautiful and appealing shoppling gallery in a palace from the 1800s called Embaixada. AVENIDA DA LIBERDADE Think of this as the local Champs-Elysées, a long tree-filled boulevard that's home to the major luxury brands. There's Louis Vuitton, Prada and Gucci, but also some of the best local jewelry and shoe stores. BAIXA This is a mix of tourist kitsch "Made in China" and more genuine local souvenir shops, international chains, and archaic-but-charming shops like haberdashers surviving on low rents. The main pedestrian shopping street in town, Rua Augusta, offers both local and international brands. BAIRRO ALTO Bairro Alto is no longer the alternative shopping district but a few interesting shops do survive, especially on Rua do Norte, Rua das Salgadeiras, Rua da Atalaia, and Rua da Rosa. MALLS AND DEPARTMENT STORES Lisbon and surroundings has some of the biggest shopping malls in Europe, and most are very accessible from the center. The biggest in the city is Colombo, although the most pleasant may be the light-filled Centro Vasco da Gama, on the waterfront, with its food court terraces. The very first one was Amoreiras, today smaller but more upscale and a favorite of those who prefer smaller crowds. In the heart of the central Chiado district is the small but very popular Armazéns do Chiado, often used as a meeting point for more shopping in the neighborhood. Lisbon's grand department stores burned down in the great Chiado fire of 1988, but today there's the large Spanish "El Corte Inglés" uptown.

The best Lisbon shopping

Rats & Bananas

Here, all collections are designed and structured for a mix and match and, therefore, take some time to come to life. You will find simple design pieces, with bold and trendy details. The brand’s mission, we are told, is to create versatile clothing that goes from day to night, or from office to casual, in an instant. Isn’t that wonderful?

• Campo de Ourique

All eyes are on them – elegantly hung on rails, none the same as the next and fabric is imported straight from India. We’re talking about shirts, the stars of Otherwise. The brand moved to Campo de Ourique in May 2019 and another two branches opened in Príncipe Real (Rua da Alegria 134 A) and São Bento (Rua de São Bento 40). The shirts come in three different styles: long-sleeve, basic short- sleeve and revere-collar short-sleeve. As for the materials, you can choose from a selection of organic and natural fibres (cotton, viscose and silk). Lastly, you can pick a plain colour or a handprint (techniques: block print or shibori).

D’Ornellas Boots

• Avenida da Liberdade/Príncipe Real

D’Ornellas Boots has developed a range of leather boots and shoes, for men and women, produced in Portugal by highly specialized artisans, thus guaranteeing high quality standards and the uniqueness of each piece. Combining comfort with unique design, these boots were made for walking, horse riding and dancing. Just ask Madonna (yes, that Madonna), who bought seven pairs herself.

Martine Love

The story goes that the Bordados de Viana do Castelo (Viana do Castelo’ Embroidery), a certified brand nowadays, was officially born in the summer of 1917. All thanks to the talent and will of Geminiana Branco, who started embroidery teaching workshops as a way of subsistence for families whose husbands were at war. One hundred and one years later, in the spring of 2018, Martine Love was born, a Lisbon brand for dresses hand-embroidered in Viana do Castelo. All thanks to the talent and willingness of Marta Champalimaud, responsible for taking a century-old technique and printing it on vintage, exclusive and stylish pieces. The dresses, in linen, in a mix of viscose and linen, or in cotton, are available in several colors and models, and are all customizable.

Luvaria Ulisses

• Accessories

The most famous cubicle in Lisbon sells gloves in every colour and style. They have always been, and continue to be, the only shop in the city specialising in leather gloves. Don’t judge it by its size. Even though it won’t fit more than three people on this side of the counter, it is a mandatory stop for those in search of a high-quality pair of gloves like those of yesteryear, not to mention differentiated customer experience. Items are of their own production, and if you try them on, you’ll be offered a cushiony wrist-rest.

• price 3 of 4

It seems that the old habit of going to the tailor is back, but with a fresh take in the mix. It used to be most common in São Bento, but now it seems to have made its way to Campo de Ourique. Alphaiate was created by youngsters, but the master, Mr. Alfredo, has more than 50 years of experience, which he has now passed to Duarte and Maria, the new personal tailors for the brand. It all starts with a visit to their website, where an appointment is scheduled to take measurements and choose colors, patterns, cuts and other details for the future outfit. Even if you are only in Lisbon passing by, don’t worry. From the moment your measurements are registered, you will be able to place new orders through the brand website. (service only available for shirts).

Caza das Vellas Loreto

It got to Lisbon before electric power did, and has been in the Sá Pereira family for six generations. Their opening license required the shop to light two torches outside their front door at night, to light the street at a time when the city was way darker after sundown than it is now. In those days, candles were made from tallow, which left a less-than-pleasant odour in the air. Founder Domingos Sá Pereira brought the beeswax candle-making technique from France, and the product is still the house star. There are candles for every taste and budget. And these do smell good.

Citadin Shoes

The brand Citadin Shoes sells men’s shoes, all produced in Portugal, and it’s been in the national and international markets since 2014. You can explore the different collections, inspired by the world’s most iconic cities, both in-store and online. They offer over 20 designs that fit into four categories: Casual, Smart, Charmer and Boots. Still, all designs have a classic touch and prioritise comfort – the pegged rubber soles maintain the intended aesthetic while increasing comfort.

• Bairro Alto
• price 2 of 4

Despite being located right in the heart of Chiado, their vibe can be described more as somewhere between Bali and Rio de Janeiro. It’s the summeriest shop in the neighbourhood: a couch, bean bags, a rope marking off the recreational area, a fish tank and, of course, the Portuguese swimming shorts, born in 2015, that come out in more styles, colours and patterns every year.

These fancy trainers were born in 2014 and, three years later, found a fixed home in Rossio, in Embaixada Concept Store. The designer, Isabel Henriques da Silva, 33 years old, defines them as “sporty, minimalistic, unisex and all made from leather and the best possible materials to ensure they last for many, many years”. All styles come in sizes 36 to 46, and can also be found online at www.jakshoes.com.

• Lingerie and swimwear
• Princípe Real

Portuguese poet Ary dos Santos said Christmas is whenever a man wants it to be. These days, summer seems to abide by the same rule. This spurred the three owners – Fernanda Santos and sisters Inês and Marta Fonseca – into opening the swimwear brand’s first shop in Lisbon, in Príncipe Real. It’s half-local – the other half was born a few kilometres to the north, in Porto – but that’s beside the point. Their collections are always inspired by a specific latitude, but this year’s collection started from a blank location to bring more freedom of choice to all women: bikinis, swimsuits, beachwear and accessories make up the brand’s new proposal, adding a sustainable aspect to each piece. Embaixada Concept Store.

Pecegueiro & F.os

Pecegueiro & F.os could only have sprouted from a numerous family. Sara Lamúrias and Pedro Noronha-Feio brought a new clothing collection for kids between 2 and 12 years old to the city – and colour abounds! They opted for Portuguese fabric, made sure everything was produced nationally and reinstated a sense of appreciation for simplicity. Anita and Tom Sawyer were the operating muses, and dungarees steal the limelight. They come in different colours and stripes are a strong presence across the store. Gendered pieces are reduced to a bare minimum, mainly to skirts and dresses.

• Chiado/Cais do Sodré

The third and most recent +351 branch, after its São Bento and Chiado sisters, is much more spacious, which allows you to move more comfortably among clothing rails where the brand founder Ana Penha e Costa’s minimalist creations hang. With ocean-themed patterns and the brand logo making subtle appearances, her pieces are simple and almost all unisex – there are t-shirts, jumpers, pants and jackets, so all in all, a collection of basic pieces worth investing in.

French and living in Lisbon, Cécile Mestelan makes ceramic pieces that were already popular on social media, but left many wanting to see them in the flesh – very, very colourful flesh. Bowls, candleholders, vases, cups and plates with a touch of irreverence and an irregular texture, which the artist achieves by adding beach sand to her creations. Last summer, Cécile’s shop finally found a home on Calçada da Estrela, in an old jewellery and watch shop with blue walls and restored cupboards and displays.

Avenida da Liberdade (shopping street)

Best for: Designer and high-end shopping trips The Avenida da Liberdade is the premier shopping street of Lisbon and is lined with designer stores and exclusive boutiques, selling high-end fashion and luxury services.

This tree-lined, 1km avenue is home to many of Portugal's most exclusive stores, such as Prada, Rolex, Louis Vuitton and Cartier, as well as being the location of many fine-dining restaurants and fashionable bars.

Even if high end fashion is not your thing, the Avenida da Liberdade is a beautiful street to roam: It was modelled on Paris' Champs-Élysées, and boasts grand 19th-century buildings, intricate patterned cobblestones, and exquisite shaded gardens. Our opinion: If you are looking for designer shopping in Lisbon, then the Avenida da Liberdade is the street to head to.

LxFactory (Unique shopping)

Best for: Discovering Lisbon’s hipster culture and finding quirky keepsakes. LxFactory is the artisan and creative hub of Lisbon, and a fantastic place to buy unique gifts and items.

This once-abandoned industrial area has been transformed into a dynamic creative space that embodies the spirit of contemporary Lisbon. Among the diverse mix of design studios, co-working spaces and art galleries you’ll find boutique stalls and shops, along with an array of restaurants, cafés and bars.

Everything about LxFactory is unique, from the bookshop housed a former printing press to the urban art adorning the once industrial buildings. If you enjoy artisan shopping, LxFactory is the place to visit. Official website: https://lxfactory.com/

The Ler Devagar bookshop is housed in a former printing press

Centro Comercial Colombo

Best for: A "shopping centre" shopping experience. Centro Comercial Colombo (often just referred to as Colombo) is the largest shopping centre in Lisbon and offers an extensive choice of mainstream fashion stores and international chains. Colombo is similar to many other modern shopping centres worldwide - light, airy, but virtually soulless.

Every conceivable type of store can be found here, but the high rents mean that there are few independent shops or anything truly unique. Contained within Colombo is a massive food court, a cinema complex and plenty of car parking. If you are after a "shopping centre" experience, then Colombo is the biggest in Portugal and won't disappoint. Travel: Blue metro line and the Colégio Militar station. Colombo website: https://www.colombo.pt

Colombo has everything you could wish for in a shopping centre

How about a small group tour?

One of the best ways to discover Lisbon and meet fellow travellers is to join a guided tour. We have worked with Getyourguide.com for the last six years, and some of their best tours of Lisbon include:

Embaixada Concept Store

Best for: Unique and boutique shopping for high-end gifts. The Embaixada Concept building is as much of a tourist attraction as the high-end boutique shops it houses.

It is set within a grand 19th century Arabian-inspired palace that reflects the independent retailers it houses. Expect to find quality and individuality from the store here.

Embaixada lies in Lisbon's upscale Príncipe Real neighbourhood, and the street outside - Rua Dom Pedro V - is equally luxurious, offering a fine dining restaurants and trendy bars.

Insight: The stores in Embaixada tend to sell items of timeless class, whereas LxFactory caters for urban cool and hipsters. Official Website: https://www.embaixadalx.pt

Embaixada shopping is housed in the wonderous 19th-century Ribeiro da Cunha Palace

The boutique stalls fill the rooms, while a trendy bar in the central courtyard

Feira da Ladra market

The Feira da Ladra is a twice-weekly flea and antique market, held in the Alfama district. The market is a vibrant mishmash of the old and new, offering everything from vintage records to antique ceramic.

Translated as the 'thieves' market', the Feira da Ladra was historically where items of questionable origin were sold. These days, the market traders are much more reputable, but the variety of items on offer continues.

Decent items are generally snapped up early in the day, with only the bric-a-brac remaining later on. Bargains are rarely found at the Feira da Ladra, with stall holders selling items at higher prices to tourists, who make up the majority of the shoppers.

The real fun of the market is to stroll among the stalls, haggle over ornate jewellery, hunt for antiques, or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

Information: The Feira da Ladra is held every Saturday and Tuesday between 8am and 3pm. The closest metro station is Santa Apolónia on the blue metro line.

The Feira da Ladra is hosted in the pretty streets of Alfama

The market contains a wide range of stalls

Centro Vasco da Gama (shopping centre)

The Centro Vasco da Gama is a modern shopping centre set within the Parque das Nações district of Lisbon. Vasco da Gama boasts over 160 shops spread over three floors, offering a similar range and style of shops as Centro Comercial Colombo.

A visit to the Centro Vasco da Gama can also be combined with a trip to the Parque das Nações, which is the ultra-modern side of Lisbon.

The Centro Vasco da Gama is a great choice for shopping if you also want to discover the contemporary and modern side of Lisbon.

Rua Garrett (Shopping street)

The small Chiado neighbourhood was historically the fashionable shopping area of Lisbon and is centred around Rua Garrett. Today, the street is a delightful mix of traditional shops, multinational fashion stores, and tourist souvenir shops.

Rua Garrett connects the lower areas of Lisbon to the upper neighbourhoods of Bairro Alto and Chiado. This thoroughfare is always packed with people and has a bustling and vibrant atmosphere, while at the lower end of the street is the Armazéns do Chiado shopping center.

Among the many traditional stores is Livraria Bertrand, a bookstore that opened in 1732 and holds the distinction of being the world's oldest bookstore that is still open.

The café' A Brasileira' dates from 1905, and it originally lured clientele with its exotic Brazilian coffee beans—a rarity in those days.

Feira do Relógio (Market)

The Feira do Relógio is the largest market of Lisbon and is a lively mix of food stalls, inexpensive clothes, local fresh produce and cheap homewares.

The market is an authentic slice of modern Portugal; a thriving market economy based on locally sourced goods, with many of the shoppers struggling to survive on the minimum wage of just €740 per month. If you want to go beyond the glossy images of Lisbon and want to experience real Portugal, then visit the Feira do Relógio.

The Feira do Relógio is hosted every Sunday morning and is reached via the Bela Vista metro station on the red line.

The many hundreds of market stalls extend for almost 1km

Local farmers sell their fresh produce, at prices much cheaper than any shop

Amoreiras Shopping (shopping centre)

Amoreiras holds the distinction of being the first major shopping centre to open in Lisbon back in 1985. Situated at the heart of Lisbon's bustling business district, it still remains one of the most favoured shopping destinations of the city. Boasting over 200 stores and an excellent food court, it shares many similarities with Colombo and Vasco da Gama in that the majority of the shops are international chain stores, but lack anything truly unique.

As a tourist attraction, Amoreiras Shopping features one of Lisbon's best viewpoints. For a €5 admission, visitors can access the rooftop of the adjoining office building for a panoramic view of the city. Offical website: https://amoreiras.com

The viewpoint from the top of Amoreiras Shopping is one of the best in Lisbon

The Mercado da Ribeira and Timeout food market (unique experience)

The Mercado da Ribeira is a unique shopping experience and it combines both traditional and modern Lisbon. In one wing of the characterful market building is the fresh produce stalls, while in the western wing is the popular Timeout food market.

The Time Out Market is a vibrant food market located in the bustling Mercado da Ribeira at Cais do Sodré. Opened in 2014, it transformed a wing of the traditional Mercado da Ribeira into a modern food hall, where some of Portugal's most talented chefs and restaurateurs showcase their culinary creations.

Featuring over 40 spaces, including kiosks, bars, and shops, the market presents a diverse range of options, from traditional Portuguese dishes to contemporary global cuisine. Today, it has become very tourist-focused, with prices being comparatively expensive, and it can be a scramble to find a seat at peak times. However, it is a very social setting, enjoyable for lunch or dinner, and it’s also a great place to meet fellow visitors. Website: https://www.timeoutmarket.com/lisboa/

Alfama (Shopping street)

Best for: traditional souvenirs and tourist shops. Alfama is the ancient district of Lisbon, and its narrow-cobbled streets house a myriad of local stalls, tourist shops and family-businesses: It is a great place for cultural tourists to roam and find traditional Portugues goods and souvenirs.

As this is the main tourist area of Lisbon, there are many overpriced souvenir shops, that hide the true shopping gems. Related articles: Alfama guide

Freeport Fashion Outlet

Best for: Brand fans looking for bargains and those seeking a shopping day out. Situated a 30-minutes east of Lisbon, Freeport Fashion Outlet offers a plethora of renowned brands with significant discounts.

How to get there: The centre is based in the town of Alcochete and is reached by crossing the Vasco da Gama bridge. There are bus services from central Lisbon, and full details can be seen on the official website . freeportfashionoutlet.pt

Campo Pequeno (Unique shopping area)

Campo Pequeno is only a small shopping centre, but it is unique as it is beneath the Campo Pequeno bull ring and stadium. This distinctive building has strong Arabic influences and resides in one of the most desirable areas of the city. Website: http://www.campopequeno.com/

The Campo Pequeno bullring

El Corte Inglés (Department store)

El Corte Inglés is the premier department store in Lisbon, and within the store are numerous boutique stands and fashion outlets. Website: https://www.elcorteingles.es/centroscomerciales/en/eci/centros/lisboa

Armazéns do Chiado (Shopping centre)

Armazéns do Chiado is a small shopping centre that lies in the heart of the historic centre of Lisbon. Armazéns really should be considered as an extension to the shopping streets in the Chiado and Baixa districts. The food court on the top floor provides some of the best value eateries in the overpriced tourist district. Website: http://www.armazensdochiado.com/

Best Shopping in Lisbon

LAST UPDATED BY Paul Bernhardt April 15, 2022

Experiencing the best shopping in Lisbon  is to discover some of the city's most traditional shops, boutiques and stores as well as quirkier and more offbeat places. For authentic souvenirs made exclusively in Portugal browse  A Vida Portuguesa , a great place to get hold of the “genuine article”. For Portuguese and international wines, plus spirits and liqueurs, it has to be Garrafeira Nacional Wines & Spirits. Cheers! Portugal is very proud of its shoe-making heritage, a fact exemplified at the delightful Sapataria do Carmo, a specialists shoe shop in Chadio that sells handmade footwear. Looking for an exclusive piece of jewellery? Why not browse the glittering displays inside Tous Rua Garrett Lisboa, a 1940s-era jewellers that boasts a stunning interior. Lisbon's year-round mild climate makes it worthwhile checking out Typographia for T-shirts with funky and unique designs. The Arabesque-styled Embaixada  mall bills itself as a “conceptual shopping gallery” where some of Portugal’s most talented brand ambassadors have set up boutiques in an abandoned 200-year-old mansion. For a vintage foodstuffs experience pop along to Conserveira da Lisboa where they sell tinned seafood wrapped in colorful retro packaging. Back in the Chiado district you can find one of Portugal’s smallest shops, the diminutive Luvaria Ulisses. Elsewhere, even if you're not into surfing you can still dress like it's summer by diving into DCK and grabbing a pair of colorful board shorts. And in keeping with Lisbon's yesteryear shopping experience, the venerable Caza das Vellas Loreto is a historic candle shop founded in 1789, which makes it one of the oldest retail outlets in Portugal. 

Caza das Vellas Loreto

One of the oldest stores in the city is the wonderfully understated Caza das Vellas Loreto. Trading since 1789, this wood-paneled architectural gem is a candle shop, and its appearance has changed little in over 200 years. Ecclesiastical candles in all shapes and forms are patiently handmade in a workshop at the rear of the premises before being displayed in handsome wood-framed glass cabinets set either side of a polished teak counter. Other handcrafted styles include tapered dinner service candles, chunky pillars and dainty tea lights. Less traditional are those sculptured to resemble fruit, various birds and even cupcakes. Many are scented, and customers are greeted with a lovely perfume as they browse the collection.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : Caza das Vellas Loreto is one of the most famous stores in Portugal, where some of the very best candles are made and sold.

Paul's expert tip : For something special, ask to see the beeswax candles that are embellished with beautiful filigree decoration.

DCK Boardshorts

Lisbon's surf season runs year-round and while winter is not so hot and the days shorter, hitting the beach still belongs to days off and long weekends, and looking the part is an important aspect of surfing culture! Which is why this swimwear store is worth checking out. It specialises in men's board shorts, a range of colourful apparel manufactured from fast drying fabrics to the highest quality. The shorts, printed with funky patterns, are as much a fashion statement as a handy bit of kit, and even you've never been on a board in your life they are still worth wearing as casual seaside attire. And dig this! For the first time, DCK is producing shorts from recycled plastic. How cool is that!

Recommended for Best Shopping because : DCK sells great summertime attire that looks good on the beach even in winter.

Paul's expert tip : The DCK website has a useful size guide page so you can measure up correctly before purchasing.

Luvaria Ulisses

If the glove fits... customers will find a pair to suit them at this authentic art deco boutique, a dinky, wafer-thin glove shop situated in the heart of Chiado. Handcrafted from the softest leather, there are dozens of gloves in different colors to choose from, for him and her. Designs range from the classically cut to the sporty and are lined with cotton, satin or cashmere. The gloves are all manufactured in Portugal, custom made by skilled artisans. The tiny interior can just about accommodate two people at a time so bespoke, personal service is guaranteed. Ulisses' reputation is such that politicians, TV personalities and socialites number among the loyal clientele, as well as visitors from around the world.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : Founded in 1925, Luvaria Ulisses is the only store in the Portuguese capital dedicated to the exclusive sale of gloves.

Paul's expert tip : If buying a pair of gloves as a gift, ask to have them gift-wrapped. It's a free service and adds a personal touch to the shopping experience.

Conserveira de Lisboa

For one of the most original souvenirs of any trip to Lisbon, breeze down to this little corner shop in the city's Baixa (downtown) district and buy a tin of tuna. Not any old tin but one packaged in great retro wrapping. Established over 80 years ago, this family-run business has been selling tins of tuna and other fish and seafood since the early 1930s. The retro wrapping features graphic design from the 1940s faithfully reproduced as if you were shopping during the same period. The range of sardines is especially delicious, garnished variously in lemon, oregano, garlic and even curry. There's also tinned octopus, anchovy, mackerel, mussel and cod for sale. On most days you can watch the elderly female staff applying the wrapping to their wares, a delightful trip down memory lane.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : The tinned seafood on sale at Conserveira de Lisboa is wrapped in retro packaging illustrated with logos and designs from the 1940s.

Paul's expert tip : Look out for the decorative pins on sale. They are shaped as sardines and serve as another unique souvenir option!

Read more about Conserveira de Lisboa →

The salons set in the 18th-century neo-Moorish palace located in the city's trendy Principe Real district have been transformed into a series of attractive boutiques, over a dozen, in fact, each selling a different range of independent fashion, eco-friendly cosmetics, handmade jewelry and chic interior decor, most of it created by Portuguese designers. The former palace building, now known as Embaixada ("Embassy" in English), has been completely refurbished and the gallery occupies two floors. Access is gained via a grand marble staircase and much of the Art Nouveau detail has been carefully preserved. Temporary art exhibitions are held here on a regular basis to add even more vibrancy to an already creative environment.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : A collection of boutiques and shops housed in a wonderfully atmospheric 19th-century mansion and staffed by local Portuguese artists and designers.

Paul's expert tip : You can pop in during the day and enjoy lunch at the hip Gin Lovers and Less bar-restaurant on the ground floor. It's also open at night until 2 am.

Read more about Embaixada →

Typographia

This Lisbon store owes its cool range of T-shirts to a group of local graphic designers who have produced some of the quirkest clothing in the city. Each T-shirt is embossed with a unique print created by members of a worldwide collective of young designers and printers. Standout designs include a bizarre but clever take on the Beatles' famous Abbey Road album cover, a smiley face depicting the Clockwork Orange logo, a cutout collection of Lisbon's famous landmarks and a homage to Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. Creating each T-shirt is a carefully considered process, from design concept to fabric choice to printing technique. And such is the word-of-mouth fame generated by this boutique and others run by Typographia team that it now maintains an online store where all the very latest designs are showcased and on sale.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : Purchasing a T-shirt at Typographia is to support the work of a team of young designers and printers skilled in producing unique apparel.

Paul's expert tip : Ask about the washing instructions when purchasing to keep your T-shirt in pristine condition.

Tous Rua Garrett Lisboa

One of the great joys of shopping in Lisbon is to discover some truly unique stores and boutiques, many family-run and of great cultural and architectural significance. One of those shops is Ourivesaria Aliança, a jewellers located in Chiado's historic Rua Garrett. Inaugurated on December 21, 1944 just in time for Christmas, Ourivesaria Aliança is housed in one of the most beautiful shop interiors found anywhere in Lisbon. The shop floor layout and decorative flourishes, including the huge Venetian mirrors, are as much as you would have found them nearly 80 years ago, and this despite careful modernisation after the business was taken over by Spanish designer fashion house Tous. Today, this upscale jewellers still sells a wonderful range of dazzling accessories for men and women. In addition, a select range of fragrances and beauty products is available. And Tous is also highly regarded for its stylish handbags collection.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : A splendid example of a 1940s-era fashion accessories boutique, Tous Rua Garrett Lisboa still exudes a wonderful yesteryear charm.

Paul's expert tip : Be sure to browse the salon at the rear of the premises. For years, this room was closed off to the public. It now serves as an additional sales area.

Read more about Tous Rua Garrett Lisboa →

Sapataria do Carmo

Portugal's centuries-old shoemaking heritage is exemplified at Sapataria do Carmo. This delightful boutique shoe shop opened in 1904 and was run by the same family for three generations before changing hands in 2012. Fortunately, the new owners embraced the same commercial ethos that had maintained one of Lisbon's most cherished enterprises for over 100 years, that of providing high-end footwear handcrafted by master shoemakers with all the care and attention to detail expected by a discerning clientele. An air of elegant nostalgia greets customers stepping across the threshold. Indeed, the interior has changed little over the years, the walls displaying numbered boxes each containing shoes made with Portuguese or Italian leather. Sapataria do Carmo sells shoes for men and women and the range includes boots, flats, loafers, Oxfords, mules, sandals, and monk straps. The connoisseur, meanwhile, should seek out historic brands like Centenario and Armando Silva.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : Sapataria do Carmo dates back to 1904 and upholds a centuries-old tradition of selling handcrafted, bespoke footwear.

Paul's expert tip : Next door is Shoes You, another footwear shop run by the same owners but stocking bolder, more contemporary designs.

Read more about Sapataria do Carmo →

Garrafeira Nacional Wines & Spirits

This is the place to go if you're a connoisseur of wines. Stocked with an incredible variety of national and international labels, there are wines from all four corners of Portugal, a bewildering range of reds, whites, roses, late harvest and sparkling, as well as vintage Ports and Madeiras. Established in 1927, this is the country's leading specialist company trading in wines and spirits. Besides their national selection, Garrafeira has an extraordinary range of European and New World wines and an equally impressive selection of whiskeys and cognacs. And there's a corner reserved for the finest champagnes. Furthermore, the store sells a range of high-end accessories, items that include professional sommelier corkscrews, wine preservation systems, wines keys, and champagne stoppers that preserve those all important bubbles.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : Garrafeira Nacional Wines & Spirits is one of a several Lisbon stores operated by this family-run concern, but the only one with a cellar-museum.

Paul's expert tip : Look out for the in-store museum, a cellar whose shelves display a priceless collection of wines and spirits dating back as far as 1715.

Read more about Garrafeira Nacional Wines & Spirits →

A Vida Portuguesa

If you're after an original souvenir of Portugal, this absorbing handicraft-hardware store is probably where you'll find it. Items on sale here are represented by brands that have been manufactured in the country for generations, and the inventory lists some of the nation's most cherished merchandise.There are fragrant soaps from Brito/Claus Porto (Oprah raved about them on her show) displayed in colorful and stylish retro wrapping paper, and Benamor Cream boxed in similarly eye-catching designs. For the kitchen, look out for the aromatic vinegars from Moura Alves and gourmet sea salt (Flor de Sal) from the Algarve. There are also toiletries, stationery, books, toys and even jewelry, all uniquely Portuguese and with a provenance that stretches back centuries. And you might want to take home one of their iconic ceramic swallows, the birds made famous by Bordalo Pinheiro, the country's celebrated 19th-century artist and sculptor.

Recommended for Best Shopping because : The goods on sale here are from genuine Portuguese manufacturers, and the store is helping to maintain a proud cultural and commercial homestyle tradition.

Paul's expert tip : There is another branch of A Vida Portuguesa located in Lisbon's Intendente district. It's housed in the old Viúva Lamego tile factory.

Guide of Shopping in Lisbon

Curious about what and where to go shop in Lisbon? We’ve got you covered!

Lisbon Shopping Tips

Portugal’s colorful capital is a fantastic shopping destination. Whether you want to browse for quirky little shops, hunt for vintage and retro treasures or shop high-end fashion, Lisbon is full of shopping opportunities for every budget.

The most important tip: be sure to put on your comfiest pair of walking shoes . Lisbon is nicknamed the "City of Seven Hills" - and as you can imagine, the name says it all. Also, the cobblestone sidewalks can get quite slippery when it rains, so bear this in mind when packing.

Due to the generally lower cost of living in Portugal, Lisbon is a budget-friendly place to shop compared to other major European cities. Here, you can find clothes, accessories, shoes and souvenirs at reasonable prices.

And last but not least: Leather goods enjoy a good reputation in Portugal, especially bags and shoes. So it's worth keeping an eye on these products when shopping.

Opening Hours in Lisbon

As there are no clearly regulated opening hours in Portugal, these can vary from store to store. In Lisbon, street shops are generally open Monday to Friday from 9:00/10:00 to around 19:00/20:00. Many smaller shops close for one or two hours at lunchtime, usually between 13:00 and 15:00.

Big chains and shopping centers open at 10:00 and close at 22:00; some malls even close at midnight. Certain shopping centres and larger stores are also open on Sundays. Supermarkets in Lisbon are typically open from 09:00 to 20:00.

Weekends: On Saturdays , street shops open their doors at 9:00 and close at 13:00. Shopping centers and large chains are open at the usual hours.

On Sundays, it is unpredictable which stores are open or closed. Small stores are usually closed. Many shopping centers are open.

Typical Places for Shopping

From shopping streets and shopping malls to markets and second-hand

With a mix of traditional markets, luxury shops, artisanal boutiques, ultra-modern shopping malls and flea markets, Lisbon has everything a shopper's heart desires.

See here the most typical places to go for shopping in Lisbon:

Shopping Districts: The main shopping districts are Baixa and Chiado right in the center. These two neighborhoods are the ideal place for shopping. Here you will find all the big names and big stores, as well as many souvenir shops (more information in the next section). Another favorite is the charming neighborhood of Príncipe Real , with Embaixada, a hip concept store housed in a beautiful 19 th century building selling Portuguese brands.

Shopping Streets : An outdoor shopping spree through Lisbon's charming cobbled streets is popular with locals and tourists alike. Top addresses include  Avenida da Liberdade , a beautiful tree-lined boulevard with the world's most elite fashion brands, Rua Garrett with a mix of traditional local shops and international fashion brands, and the buzzing Rua Augusta in the heart of the city.

Shopping Centers: Although many locals prefer to shop in traditional street stores, Lisbon also has a number of large shopping centers . They are a good option if you want to go shopping on weekends and rainy days . The Centro Colombo is one of the largest malls in the country, with more than 340 stores, while Amoreiras shopping mall , the first shopping mall built in Portugal, delights with its 80s vibe. Another favorite is El Corte Inglés , close to the city center.

Outlets : If you're looking for a bargain, you'll find it at Europe's largest outlet, the Freeport Lisbon Fashion Outlet . The huge shopping center is located in Alcochete, 50 minutes from Lisbon city center. Be prepared to browse around, as the outlet has over 150 retailers offering discounts of up to 70 percent - a true shopper's paradise!

Markets : Very popular with tourists and locals alike is the well-known flea market Feira da Ladra in Alfama . The eclectic flea market is held every Tuesday and Saturday and features rows and rows of attention-grabbing stalls selling all kinds of kitsch and bric-a-brac. Also worth mentioning is the Campo de Ourique Mercado in the Campo de Ourique neighborhood. The covered market has food stalls in the center surrounded by small stores selling handmade goods, clothing, books, jewelry, second-hand items and flowers. 

Second-Hand & Vintage Shopping:  Vintage and second-hand lovers should check out the neighborhoods of Graça and Intendente. Here you can snap up some amazing and low-priced items. In general, the secondhand and vintage stores attract locals, and alternative and younger people. It can be noted that these areas provide more "ethnic" options for shopping and dining, which reflect the immigrant populations in Lisbon.

Unique Places for Shopping: LX Factory   is a former industrial site transformed into a hip complex with unique creative vendors, trendy bars and boutiques. Here you can shop and dine in a very urban environment. Don’t miss the many young designer boutiques, the exceptional bookstore Ler Devagar and the vintage furniture dealers.

These two neighborhoods side by side are among the most popular areas in the city for shopping. Chiado boasts upscale boutiques, family owned shops, souvenir stores and luxury shopping opportunities. The Baixa neighborhood, which is mostly low and flat, delights with grand plazas with neoclassical style shopping. Some stores with a beautiful neoclassical facade are several centuries old. Two popular shopping streets pass through here, Rua Augusta and Rua Garrett.

Rua Augusta

The popular pedestrian-only shopping street Rua Augusta, known for the monumental arch of the same name, is located in the heart of the historic center. It is Lisbon's main shopping street. Always packed with tourists, the patterned black and white stone street is lined with fashion stores, restaurants, hotels, boutiques, pastelarias and bars. Popular chains like Zara, Mango and Stradivarius can be found here, as well as the official store of the soccer club Benfica and a few traditional stores like Sapataria Lord .

With tons of really cute and traditional boutiques, art galleries, gourmet shops, young designer stores and alternative shops, the area has a very enjoyable flair for shopping. It is the perfect place to browse for traditional products, handcrafts, artsy items, and quality local clothing with cutting-edge style. When it comes to alternative shops, Rua do Norte is the place to go.

The 15 Best Things to Do in Lisbon

By Chadner Navarro and Alia Akkam

There certainly isn’t a shortage of captivating ways to spend your days in Lisbon —there’s so much to experience, in fact, you might have a difficult time creating your to-do list. So we’ve done it for you: Devour the city’s iconic pastries at the famous Pastéis de Belém, then hang out with locals on the riverfront plaza of MAAT Museum, Lisbon’s newest art institution. After meandering around the city’s hidden corners and lesser-known neighborhood hangouts, marvel at the city from the perch of São Jorge Castle. These 15 experiences ensure your stay will be a memorable (and action-packed) one. Read on for our picks of the best things to do in Lisbon.

Read our complete Lisbon travel guide here .

This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

Ajuda National Palace Arrow

This 19th-century palace was once the royal residence of Dom Luís I when he was king of Portugal. It is now used as a museum that you need tickets to access. The wildly opulent space houses a fantastic collection of decorative art, including chandeliers, marble statues, porcelain, tapestries, and much more. Some of the rooms are also used as gallery spaces for contemporary art exhibits. The property is pretty spectacular and overwhelming in its grandeur. There’s weight to every room considering how much there is to look at, whether it’s an old cabinet filled with porcelain cups or massive gold-framed portraits. If you’re into royal collections, this is likely the best you’ll find in all of Portugal.

Tram 28 Arrow

If you’re in search of Belém’s cultural and culinary adventures, you can simply hop on the sleek No. 15 tram from the city center to get around. But it’s the No. 28 that every visitor should weave into their itinerary. These vintage Remodelado streetcars, wooden and painted yellow, are a throwback to another era. In peak season, you could be waiting for an hour to board one of these beauties. But that retro feel, perched on a bench as the tram clatters its way through the city’s narrow streets and blares its horn, is priceless.

LX Factory Arrow

LX Factory is an industrial complex from the 19th century that's now home to a bunch of cool shops, restaurants, bars, and office spaces. Located in the far-west of the city, in the neighborhood of Alcântara, it offers a look into the more modern side of Lisbon.  If you’re into checking out cool, of-the-moment venues, it’s worth heading here to take a break from the city’s more historic sights; walk around and pop in and out of the various businesses that call the area home.

Time Out Market Lisboa Arrow

Time Out magazine has curated this upbeat food hall in Cais do Sodre, which successfully merges the worlds of culinary highbrow and lowbrow. Set within the old-school Mercado da Ribeira, where locals buy their meat and fish, it’s one of the best places in Lisbon to while away the day, eating and drinking from more than 50 different concepts. Start with charcuterie from the more-than-a-century-old brand Manteigaria Silva and end with Italian-style ice cream packed into a wafer-biscuit cone from Santini. One of the best reasons to visit is to sample the cuisine from some of Portugal’s most famous chefs, including Miguel Castro e Silva, Marlene Vieira, Miguel Laffan, and Henrique Sá Pessoa.

Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) Arrow

The main reason to visit the Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology (MAAT)—a modern cross-cultural hub that brings together visual arts, urban affairs, technology, and science—is the setting. British architect Amanda Levete’s undulating building is covered in white ceramic tiles and capped with a rooftop terrace, while exhibition spaces can also be found in the newly reimagined central power station. The permanent collection and the rotating exhibitions run the gamut, from pop art to ceramics to wood sculptures. There’s even an archival collection about the history of Portuguese electricity. It’s also home to what is now the most impressive collection of contemporary Portuguese art.

Calouste Gulbenkian Museum Arrow

Located in the northern edge of Lisbon, Museu Calouste Gulbenkian feels like an art-filled oasis that travelers rarely visit. Tranquil gardens surround a brutalist building that houses world-class pieces spanning 5,000 years of history—think Egyptian sculptures, John Singer Sargent paintings, and Art Nouveau jewelry. The museum added sculptures around the garden, and it’s great to split the visit up between the indoor galleries with a stroll around the grounds.

Praça do Comércio Arrow

Lisbon certainly doesn’t lack for stunning plazas, but perhaps the most important—the grandest of them all—is Praça do Comércio. Before the earthquake of 1755, it was here where one found the royal palace. Today, with its sunflower yellow buildings, arcades, and commanding statue of Dom José I, the aura is just as majestic. Envisioned as a gateway to the New World, the vibrant transportation hub has a ferry terminal on one side and trams whizzing by on the other, so it’s easy to weave into packed itineraries. This is an ideal place to kick off any Lisbon adventure: It doesn’t take long to wander through the square, but one immediately feels its powerful personality and thrilling history.

We Hate Tourism Tours: Walk in the Real City Arrow

This three-and-a-half hour walking tour gives travelers an off-the-beaten glimpse of the city. (It’s a public walking tour, so make sure to reserve in advance.) The guides have an easy-breezy approach that make it seem like you’re being shown around by a friend—expect a good mix of historical, cultural, and, even political info peppered with personal storytelling. Overall, it’s best for people who would rather learn about Lisbon’s modern-day narrative rather than its history or past. You get some of that history, of course, but this tour is meant to show you parts of the city that don’t often land on the mainstream tourist routes, even if you’re only a couple of blocks away.

São Jorge Castle Arrow

São Jorge Castle, a hilltop castle, is one of Lisbon’s most emblematic scenes. Before the Moors built the fortress in the mid-11th century, the Visigoths settled here. Later, after Dom Afonso Henriques became Portugal’s first king in 1147, it became the domain of royalty, and enjoyed a long time playing host to lavish soirees and visiting dignitaries. This castle certainly has a museum feel, what with its clever camera obscura offering 360-degree views of Lisbon in real time, archaeological site spanning three diverse periods, and ruins of the former royal palace. It’s the view, though, that’s the star. Peering out at the city’s abundance of red rooftops and the Tagus River beyond is one of Lisbon’s most thrilling rituals.

Café A Brasileira Arrow

A bronze statue of Fernando Pessoa greets visitors at Café A Brasileira—the beloved poet frequented this joint to sip absinthe. One of Lisbon’s oldest (and perhaps most famous) cafés, this circa-1905 institution was, in its heyday, a grand place for writers and intellectuals to convene. Today it's a bit of a tourist trap, but don’t let that deter you. The Art Deco backdrop, complete with dark wood, splashes of brass, mirrors, and a black-and-white floor, is like a piece of Portugal’s heritage, reborn.

Jéronimos Monastery Arrow

Set close to Belém Tower, Jerónimos Monastery is a limestone-clad Manueline masterpiece that was built for the Hieronymite Monastery on the site of an old church—the one where Vasco da Gama and his crew spent their last night in Portugal before their famed seafaring sojourn to India. The massive structure, which commenced building in 1501, took a century to complete. History geeks and architecture nerds will appreciate wandering through here, but it’s not hard for anyone to succumb to the UNESCO site’s staggering size and grandeur.

Clube de Fado Arrow

In Alfama, a five-minute walk from the Museu do Fado, the Portuguese music adventure continues at Clube de Fado. This warm restaurant and performance venue, awash in red, combines the Portuguese guitar and melancholy fado vocals with homestyle cuisine. Nightly fado performances by artists like Cuca Roseta and Sofia Ramos are buoyed by the guitar wizardry of Clube de Fado owner Mário Pacheco, the son of famed fado guitarist António Pacheco. The performers, whether old-timers or emerging talents, give it their all in a retro setting.

Belém Tower Arrow

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Belém Tower was built on the northern bank of the Tagus River between 1514 and 1520 by architect Francisco de Arruda. Also known as the Tower of St. Vincent, it was originally constructed to defend the city. Later, the fortress acquired new life as both a lighthouse and customs office. No need to be a history buff to enjoy the power of this place. Beware the narrow stairs, though—navigating the building’s five floors and rooftop terrace requires stamina, but the trek to the top is rewarded with killer views.

Pastéis de Belém Arrow

You can find delicious versions of pastel de nata, Portugal’s signature confection, throughout Lisbon. But none of these cinnamon-dusted egg custard tarts are as entrenched in Portuguese history as the ones served at this Belém institution. The shop, originally part of a sugar refinery, has been cranking out this proprietary recipe—an ancient one embraced by monks of the adjacent Jerónimos Monastery—since 1837. Buy a six-pack and reserve time to enjoy them leisurely inside the retro, blue-and-white tiled room. Sipping a coffee while watching excited visitors taking their first bite is itself a Lisbon attraction.

Santa Justa Lift Arrow

This might just be the world’s most beautiful elevator. Designed by Portugal native Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, the vertical lift—also known as the Elevador do Carmo—made its debut in 1902. Mesnier du Ponsard was a student of Gustave Eiffel, so it’s not surprising that the public elevator, crafted from cast iron and embellished with filigree, flaunts a distinct turn-of-the-century French style. A seemingly endless queue translates into a frustrated crowd; still, though, visitors stick it out—the gorgeous sliver of transportation and architectural history is well worth it.

The best ones are the ones bought in the historical pastry stores, the cheapest are the ones in the supermarket and the most practical for those traveling by plane are the ones bought at the airport stores.

They must be eaten soon in order to keep their freshness and goodness, but this has never been a problem for any tourist: such a delicacy cannot be kept in a cupboard for a long time.

If you prefer salty to sweet, you can take home another typical food to buy in Lisbon: the Portuguese are greedy for canned fish , so much so that this is now sold to tourists as a local delicacy.

In fact, it’s much better than the international brands we find in our supermarkets… maybe it’s the tradition or the greater care in the preparation, the fact is that bringing home a can of fish from Lisbon is a must. Not only tuna and sardines: the tradition of Portuguese canned fish also includes cod, eel, mackerel, cuttlefish and other types of fish and fish mousse.

The best store to buy canned fish in Lisbon is Conserveira de Lisboa , a historic family-run business located just a 5-minute walk from Praça do Comercio. Its brands Minor, Tricana and Prata do Mar have become a cult and are still sold in colorful cans with vintage 1930s style graphics.

From food to beverages: if you love wine, take advantage of your vacation in Lisbon to bring home one or more bottles, choosing between a full-bodied aged port or a fresh vinho verde . Typical liqueurs are Ginjinha , a black cherry liqueur spread all over Portugal, and Eduardo , an anise and herb liqueur mainly drunk in the Lisbon area.

Food and drinks in hand luggage Remember that those traveling with carry-on luggage only must comply with the restrictions on liquids set forth in international security regulations. If you don’t check your suitcase, you’ll have to make do with buying the mini 100 ml bottles. Some foods are also not allowed, such as certain soft cheeses. Find out before you arrive at the airport.

Azulejos and ceramics

The best gift you can give yourself in Lisbon is to take home a piece of Portuguese tradition, namely beautiful decorated tiles or ceramics .

The magnificent white azulejos decorated with elaborate designs or refined geometric patterns, strictly in blue, have become a symbol of Portugal. Portuguese ceramics may be less internationally known, but they boast a tradition as long as the tiles.

They are certainly a challenging gift to bring home, whether because of the weight, fragility and cost, but it is something special that is worth all the effort.

Where to buy original azulejos

The ever-increasing interest of tourists in the marvelous Portuguese tiles has led to the spread of thefts of tiles from houses and monuments and then reselling them at markets. In order not to fuel this dishonest practice, it is important to buy azulejos and ceramics in stores and workshops of serious artisans, able to offer guarantees on the origin of the products on sale.

Some stores where you can trust to shop are Fabrica Sant’Ana, Ceramica Viuva Lamego and Bordallo Pinehiro. If you prefer something more modern than classic design, we recommend the workshop of the artist Add Fuel and the brand Surrealejos.

You can also buy azulejos in the souvenir store of the National Azulejo Museum.

Crafts and Design

Another typically Portuguese tradition is cork making, an activity that still represents an important part of the national economy.

On sale in Lisbon you can find all sorts of handicrafts made with cork, including sandals and shoes, bags, wallets, umbrellas, diaries, jars: they are original creations, combining modern taste and retro charm. You can indulge yourself in specialized stores that sell only cork objects!

The Portuguese design has had a strong development in recent years, so today you can buy in Lisbon original home furnishings , trendy jewelry and beautiful clothing in organic cotton. Fortunately, traditional craftsmanship such as embroidery and lace also survives.

After attending a fado concert in a traditional tavern, few tourists can resist the temptation to bring home a CD or vinyl so they can listen to this haunting music back home.

A historic store where you can buy fado cds and records in Lisbon is Discoteca Amalia, but also check out the bizarre Lisboa Cidade do Fado, a store housed inside a vintage truck usually parked on Rua do Carmo.

Lisbon is also an exciting destination for lovers of other musical genres, thanks to an incredible amount of new and used vinyl stores, from techno to classical with everything in between.

Typical souvenirs of Lisbon

Tired of the usual magnets, t-shirts, posters, dolls? Want to buy a souvenir that you can not buy in any other city? The two best selling typical Lisbon souvenirs are the model of streetcar 28 and the figurine of the Rooster of Barcelos.

A miniature Lisbon streetcar will delight children, who can add it to their collection of cars, and adults with a romantic and nostalgic soul. You can choose from reproductions of various sizes and colors, but remember that the historical one is yellow.

If you loved exploring Lisbon up and down narrow streets aboard this historic means of transport, give one to you as a gift, to put on a shelf at home to remember the best moments of your vacation.

The Gallo de Barcelos is instead a souvenir between kitsch and traditional: it is a wooden figurine, now also available in cheaper plastic versions, which reproduces a colorful lucky rooster decorated with hearts and flowers.

According to a legend, a rooster saved the life of a merchant unjustly accused of murder and since then a statue of a rooster is kept in every Portuguese home as a sign of good luck.

The typical Barcelos rooster is black with a bright red crest, hand-painted, but in the stores and souvenir stalls of Lisbon you can find them in all colors, sizes and prices.

Another lovely item you’ll find at Lisbon souvenir stalls are reproductions of the lovers’ handkerchief (lenço dos namorados). It is a tradition of northern Portugal, where in the past the girls embroidered a handkerchief with romantic decorations such as hearts, birds, flowers and then give it to the man loved.

Where to shop: the shopping streets in Lisbon

The shopping area in Lisbon is the Baixa district, which extends from Praça de Rossio to Praça do Comercio. In this grid are enclosed elegant pedestrian streets full not only of bars, pastry stores and restaurants but also stores.

Barrio Alto , in particular Rua do Norte and Rua da Rosa, is the best area to buy vintage clothes, design objects and creations of young Portuguese designers, while Avenida da Libertade is the luxury shopping street where the boutiques of international designers are concentrated.

If you prefer to store in shopping malls rather than stores, take note of these names: Colombo, Vasco de Gama, Galerias Monumental, Atrium Saldanha, Complexo dos Amoreiras. They can be easily reached by public transport.

Not to be missed is a visit to Corte Inglés, a Spanish department store chain very popular in Portugal.

Thief’s Feira

Lovers of used and vintage goods, fans of flea markets or just curious? Don’t miss the Feira da Ladra, Lisbon’s most famous flea market and one of the most fun outdoor attractions in the Portuguese capital.

Every Tuesday and Sunday from early morning until early afternoon, this lively flea market livens up the oval square of Campo Santa Chiara, behind the magnificent monastery of São Vicente de Fora.

It is a historic tradition that dates back to the twelfth century, and today you can find everything for sale: vinyls and CDs, books, clothes, coins, furniture, military uniforms, vintage posters and postcards, handmade items and more. Some vendors have their wares on display on a stall, while others simply spread a blanket on the ground and put the items for sale in bulk.
