Go to the Rua Augusta, which is the main street of the Baixa neighborhood! In this street, you will find centuries old stores so typically Portuguese, but also several international brands as well.

Head to the Chiado neighborhood and get to the Avenida da Liberdade, which is usually compared to the Avenue Champs Elysées in Paris! If you’re into international brands and luxurious stores, you will find what you’re looking for on this avenue!

Two places that also are in the neighborhood and that I recommend you to check are the Conserveira de Lisboa and the A Vida Portuguesa store. The first one is a cannery that opened in 1930. The sardines cans stacking are definitely Instagram material! As you walk through Lisbon, you will understand the importance of sardines in Portugal culture and history, especially if you come during the month of June!

Then, you can visit the A Vida Portuguesa store, which pays tribute to all the past greatest Portuguese brands, from soaps, tin cans, posters and other vintage objects!

For traditional and handmade in Portugal items

For experiencing the most bohemian and creative aspects of Lisbon, I suggest you to go shopping in Bairro Alto neighborhood. You will find several young designers stores, art galleries, ceramists, artisans, artists. If you go shopping in Bairro Alto, you can be sure you will be buying handmade in Portugal items!

If you want to buy original souvenirs, check the Fábrica Sant’Anna for traditional azulejos. In this factory, each azulejo is handmade and unique, which means you won’t be able to find two that are the same! How cool is that?

Another suggestion I can give you is to go to Cork & Co. Located at Rua das Salgadeiras, 10, this institution recycles and produces fashionable objects made out of cork! Because, if you didn’t know Portugual is one of the greatest producers of cork in the world.

For shopping in malls

As you can expect from any capital, there are plenty of malls to shop at! But in Lisbon, you will find one that is pretty amazing, the Embaixada which is located in the Príncipe Real neighborhood. This shopping mall happens to be hosted in the stunning Ribeiro da Cunha Palace which is Neo-Moorish inspired.

Another shopping mall you need to visit the Armazéns do Chiado. Located in one of the most beautiful and visited neighborhoods of the city, this shopping mal is part of a great architecture project that revitalised the Chiado neighborhood after the fire it suffered from in 1988. Unfortunately, the fire destroyed many eighteenth century buildings… Today, the Armazéns do Chiado is a three-storey mall, filled with many stores for all tastes and interests. From beauty products, fashion boutiques, cultural and electronic products stores, this shopping mall has it all.

The Amoreiras, Centro Vasco da Gama and Colombo are other shopping malls you will find while in Lisbon. There are so many options!

If you want a more urban experience, go to the LX Factory, which is considered to be a shopping mall but also a coworking space and a gallery as well. This mall identifies itself as an “experience factory“. From young designers boutiques, libraries, ateliers, to restaurants and cafés, I’m sure you will spend a great time there and you will also find original items to offer to your relatives and friends back home!
