Shopping guide
Lisbon is a great place to go shopping and discover great brands, historic shops and street markets.
To help you identify the best shopping area for you, we have grouped them into three categories: shopping streets, shopping centres and trendy and unique shopping spots.
The best areas to go shopping:
Avenue full of imposing historic buildings (like number 206 where Prada is located), 5 star hotels, luxury shops, leading companies and also many spaces to visit or attend concerts and other cultural events, like the São Jorge Cinema, the Tivoli Theatre, the renovated Capitol at Parque Mayer or the Coliseu dos Recreios at Rua Portas de Santo Antão.
It is in Garrett Street that the theatre “comes alive” through the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, the Teatro São Luiz and the Teatro da Trindade. Also located here is the first Bertrand Bookstore, founded in 1732, the Grémio Literário do Chiado, and the Café A Brasileira, with the famous statue of Fernando Pessoa.
A pedestrian street adorned with Portuguese pavement, it was once considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Here you can stroll among locals and tourists, shops, restaurants and esplanades, while admiring street artists or visiting the various attractions the area offers.

Unique shopping experiences and places:
A space that represents innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, with a touch of industrial inspiration. Here you will find companies, cafes, shops and events. Lx Factory is a factory of experiences where it becomes possible to intervene, think, produce and present ideas to the whole community.
Located in the Ribeiro da Cunha Palace, one of the most emblematic buildings of the fashionable Príncipe Real neighbourhood. This neo-Arab palace from the XIX century was transformed into a Gallery Shopping, where a new generation of Portuguese entrepreneurs join together with a differentiated offer and a strong bet on national production.
Born from the restoration of the historic Mercado da Ribeira in a concept that brings together restaurants, bars, shops, a fresh market and a concert hall, it was the biggest dynamic of the neighbourhood, transforming this whole area into a phenomenon of visitors.
A popular market for used objects, antiques and handicrafts, but also where some new products are sold. It is now located in Campo de Santa Clara, in the parish of São Vicente and is held every week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, during the day.
