The best fashion and gift stores Lisbon Area

Did you know that? Portugal has a tradition of leather work and is a manufacturer of very good quality shoes. Now that you're there, it's the time to crack on a pair of shoes made in Portugal. Lisbon still has quite a few shops that are not chains and only offer quality shoes. This establishment is one of them! In its showcases, you will admire a choice of Derby, Richelieu, boots... for men and women in different colours and materials.

An excellent Portuguese bookstore that has multiplied throughout the country! The Chiado, founded by two Frenchmen in 1732, is undoubtedly one of the oldest in the world. This venerable house has a beautiful string of rooms covered with woodwork filled with an impressive choice of works (crafts, art, foreign languages, technology, etc.). Anything that is not in stock can be ordered on site. There is also a cafeteria on site for some time now, where you can take refuge on bad weather days.

Ler Devagar means "to read slowly". It is true that the impressive setting of this good bookstore parallel to the large space in the LX Factory (in the former Gráfica Mirandela printing house), invites you to stroll. Entire walls of books and a bicycle on the ceiling, what could be more unexpected... Here we invite you to take a break from your crazy day, sit at a cafeteria table and read a book for a coffee. The overall selection is very detailed and there are even French books, sometimes including copies of... our Petit Futé Portugal.

One of Lisbon's last great shopping malls is modern, even avant-garde in design. With around 170 stores (including 36 restaurants and 10 cinemas...), you'll notice its glass arcades cooled by water sliding over its curved roof. A hypermarket, major national and international chains and a number of typically Portuguese boutiques attract a young, dynamic clientele on weekends.

Facing the Stade de la Luz, it is one of the largest shopping centres on the Iberian Peninsula. It is well designed with its red bricks, its wide and high rotundas covered with a glass dome and the inevitable small paved floors. Monstrous in its proportions and figures: more than 420 stores, 6,800 parking spaces, an amusement park, 64 restaurants, 10 movie theatres. All this on three floors widely distributed around gigantic domes populated by huge and real palm trees. Very busy!

What a clever idea to transform a lovely ^19th-century clifftop mansion into a center for small businesses, culture and leisure! Amid the pines, a real estate invested by kiosks, a few craft stores, a small amphitheater, a playground for children, bars and restaurants with terraces overlooking the ocean. The friendly leisure area includes adventure sports facilities (paragliding, paintball, mountain bike and BMX rental). A very relaxing success that's a great place to take a stroll.

A new shop that recently opened its doors in the famous rua da Bica. Inside, a colourful and luminous atmosphere. Lamps, necklaces, rings that glittering with each of them their own colours. Unique creations, with taste and finesse, to see if only for the pleasure of eyes.

Cork is not only used to make corks for wine bottles, Portugal is, by the way, the world's leading producer! Forget leather for a while or for good: cork is a light but solid material that is very pleasant to the touch! In this loja showroom, you can admire decorative elements, fashion accessories, luggage in different colours... From the trendy handbag to the eyeglass case that goes well, through the wallets, it is, perhaps, the time to indulge yourself or to indulge!

A benchmark in the fashion world since 1940, El Corte Inglés has become a global shopping destination for luxury goods. A position consolidated by its history, passion for fashion and total dedication to customer service. A world where you can find the best collections from international, Portuguese and luxury labels, as well as a rigorous selection of fine jewelry and watches, perfumes and cosmetics. There's also a supermarket stocked with top-of-the-range cheeses and charcuterie.

Close to the April 25th bridge, in a former factory inaugurated in 1846 for the Companhia de Fiação e Tecidos de Algodão Lisbonense (a textile company) and later occupied by the Gráfica Mirandela printing works, this is one of the city's trendiest spots. In a post-industrial space with converted hangars, start-ups, workshops, cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques intermingle. Can you find the entrance to the rooftop bar? If you're a fan of street art, you'll be able to discover many local and international artists.

No big surprises: records, books, hi-fi, computers, etc., presented with the same commercial and selective sense and the attraction of the green price. You will find here a selection of books in French. Of particular note are the lively Forum spaces (in Chiado with a panoramic view of the rooftops and a small café like only here) with a rather interesting monthly programme (get the agenda!) with all those who are making the Portuguese cultural and musical news and a rather extensive ticket office for shows.

It is impossible to pass in front of this shop without noticing it. You are here in the kingdom of the sardine with a decor reminiscent of the circuses of yesteryear. In this shop you will find traditional oil sardines but with an attractive packaging. Each box has a date with an important event occurring during this period as well as various facts. More than 100 references from 1916 to 2016. An address to visit if you are looking for a birthday gift

This large flea market takes its name, we can imagine it, from the origin of some of the objects it offers. You sometimes have the legitimate impression that the goods have fallen off the truck or, on the contrary, that a kid has robbed his grandmother's attic to buy a new game console. It is a mixture of personal junk sold on the sidewalk, current objects or a few records from distant lands, small shops "of antiquity"....

This is a very common sign. The models have nothing spectacular, but are still in the air of time, lines simple, easy to accommodate and not expensive at all, count € 30 per pair.

No one will deny that this is the Mecca of all the sports that we call Radicais! Rafting, canyoning, climbing, mountain biking... A whole range of quality equipment to prepare yourself with confidence for various excursions. The choice is varied and the salesmen will advise you with a smile. So don't take your equipment with you if it is too bulky, you should find here what you need to go on an adventure in Portugal. An excellent address where seriousness rhymes with conviviality.

A selection of clothing for people under 8 and furniture for children's rooms. Toast & Chocolate Collections, Small Boat, Tintin. Prices are consistent with the quality offered.

One of the seasonal Mecques of the swimsuit… Many choices at all prices, from the simplest to the most! and everything that goes with, like beautiful paréos and other trinkets.
