Shopping malls Lisbon

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!

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.

Built in 1985, it's a classic, comfortable four-storey shopping center. It's the bourgeoisie's favourite shopping center. From almost anywhere in Lisbon, you can see the three post-modern towers that crown it. Apparently, the layout is designed to make it easy to get in and easy to stay in. It's true that it's a little hard to find your way out. Two floors of labyrinths, dotted with over 200 stores, cinemas and restaurants.

In 1988, a terrible fire ravaged the Grandela department stores and a large part of the district. For 10 years, Rua do Carmo and Chiado were disfigured by the ruins of the store. Finally, a Dutch developer and the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira brought these large shopping malls out of the ground. A few large basement spaces (Fnac, Kiko, Sephora, Jean Louis David lounge) then two levels of friendly shops and finally a varied and sublimely placed restaurant space symmetrically placed in the castle (in addition, there are windows).
