Where to Buy Kids Clothes in Lisbon


 

This is well known that kids clothes might be very expensive. As children grow, they need new things all the time. The Portuguese tend to spoil their little “munchkins” a lot. They really like to get very good quality clothes for famous brands. However, nobody wants to spend a lot.

So where do Portuguese shop for children clothes?

Freeport shopping outlet

Freeport is called the largest in Europe. But we are mostly talking about the size of the area of the shopping complex and its parking. It is 75,000 square meters.

Freeport is not located in Lisbon, but in a suburb on the other side of the river, not far from the fishing town of Alcochete (it was from him that the shopping center got its name). The town itself is very nice, located on the banks of the Tagus estuary. Sometimes here you can see flocks of pink flamingos all along the way to Freeport.

Let’s get the negative points out of the way.

It is not a very convenient location in the suburbs of Lisbon and could only be reached by car or a bus.

The range of premium segment brands is quite as extensive as we would like to see as avid shopaholics. Primary brands: Armani, Burberry, Carolina Herrera, Diesel, Escada, Gant, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Lion of Porches, Tommy Hilfiger, Trussardi.

Now let’s talk about the positive points.

To get to the outlet, you must pass on the bridge, Vasco de Gama. In addition to the well-known brands, there are the middle-priced brands Levis, Desigual, Portuguese clothing brands Adolfo Dominguez, Ana Sousa, and Eureka shoes. There are several mass-markets, for example, Mango, Pull & Bear and also a lot of sports shops.

We highly suggest paying attention to the stock of United Colors Of Benetton. There you will be able to find a great basic wardrobe for your kid. There is a wide range of cotton colorful T-shirts, shirts, pants for school, etc.

If you are looking to find something for the newborn, feel free to check out the Chicco outlet. They always have all the necessary items like strollers and diapers.

Do not pass by the Charanga store. They have all kinds of eco-friendly clothes for babies from 0 to 36 months and kids from  2 to 14 years old.

The shopping center is designed as a small Portuguese town with streets, tiles, fountains, squares, and trees. There are shops with interior items, underwear, cosmetics and perfumery, optics and children’s stores, prices are pleasantly pleasing. A complete list of brands can be found on the official website.

If you go up the escalator to the second floor, you will get to the area with restaurants.

The shopping center is quite popular among locals, especially before Christmas, Easter and on weekends.

From the services, on the territory, there are a currency exchange, ATMs and free wi-fi.

For children aged 3 to 9 years, there is a children’s play area “Pirate Paradise.” Works on weekends, holidays and children’s holidays.

Colombo shopping center

Another shopping center named after the explorer. Colombo in Lisbon opened in 1997, once it was the largest shopping center on the Iberian Peninsula, and this quality was strongly played up in all advertising brochures.

Colombo Shopping Center is located opposite the Benfica football team stadium. And if you are a fan, be sure to look at the stadium territory and in the company store, where you can usually admire the main symbol of the club.

But let us return to the Colombo shopping center: under one roof, they managed to accommodate 340 stores, 60 points with food from coffee shops and fast food to restaurants, a bowling alley, a cinema, a children’s room, a sports club.

The interiors of the Colombo shopping center should refer us to the era of geographical discoveries: sculptures, fountains, and the names of the streets themselves.

A little more detail on the assortment. From children’s stores, there is a favorite of all Disney Store, where you can buy a princess dress or superhero outfit. All kinds of Disney cartoon characters are at the display. You can even find a great gift for any kid until 14 years old.

Several sports shops, as well as well-known brands, are presented there, and of course all Portuguese love a big budget hypermarket Primark. There you will find everything your kid needs for a very democratic price.

We are highly suggesting to visit Massimo Dutti for kids. There you will be able to find not only a good basic wardrobe but also good quality Spanish shoes for school. Almost all the shoes and boots are made of genuine leather, so your kid would wear it for a long time. They always have a great range of autumn and winter coats, blue jeans and cashmere sweaters.

Amoreiras shopping center

To the Amoreiras shopping center, Lisbon people have special feelings. This is the first shopping pier, in the modern sense, which appeared in the capital in 1985.

The glass towers of office centers, the marble walls of the residential complex, and the first branded boutiques in Lisbon. That is why the residents of the city behind this shopping center got the status “for the middle class”.

This is the perfect place to find good quality pieces for your kids. For example, at Lacoste Kids, you will definitely find a great polo or even perfectly white trainers. Pay special attention to wool blend sweaters for boy and girls.

A Chicco store is also presented here, where you can buy everything a mom to be would ever need.

The Portuguese love the Lanidor kids’ store. This space is very special for them because it is a Portuguese brand. Check them out if you are trying to find something for a ceremony like a party dress for a girl or beautiful shoes for a birthday.

El Corte Ingles shopping center

El Corte Inglés (port. El Corte Ingles) – seven floors of commercial space. This is a Spanish shopping mall network, united by the idea that everyone can shop in one place. Here you will find everything: cosmetics, bags, shoes, stationery, home appliances, jewelry, toys, clothes, household goods and much more.

All this wealth is located on different floors, in one common space, without separate stores and a set of partitions and signs.

Each floor has its own set of products, for example, brands like Burberry, Etro, Lauren, Ralph, Lauren, Zadig & Voltaire, Missoni, etc. are represented on the floor of Senior fashion right next to democratic things of less well-known brands.

Our most favorite kids’ corner would be Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap kids, Pepe Jeans, and Tomy Hilfiger. You can never make a wrong choice when shopping at these brands. From a wide range of basic wardrobes like jeans and a sweater to very beautiful ceremony outfits. Make sure to check them out at the season of sales in August and  January. Their prices will definitely surprise you!

Shopping in El Court Ingles has its advantages for people living outside the European Union: you can get a tourist card with a cumulative discount that you can start using after the first purchase. Those. If you bought points, the discount amount is credited to the card, and you can use the money on the card as a discount for the next purchase.

Usually, Tax-Free is used for purchases above 61.5 Euros, but in El Court Ingles you can collect checks for 3 days of purchases and issue fries for the total amount. And as in Freeport, you can immediately get a tax payment. The card can be issued at the information desk and there you can clarify all the details. Read more about what taxfree we wrote here.

Dear Lisbon visitor, this just to remind you to pay attention to the season that you are planning to come. If you were thinking to commit to a substantial shopping for the family that would be a great idea to come in the early season of sales. We are reminding you that this summer it will start in the middle of August and the 23rd of January winter time.

If you try to focus on kid’s clothes solely try to pick the place where the basic wardrobe is located in one place. We would highly advise you to visit Freeport in that regards. That will save you money and time for sure!

Do not stay ignorant of the location you are visiting. Always try to seize the day and enjoy Lisbon time especially in summer near the ocean. During your shopping try to find a coffee place and try espresso shot – that will energize you for the rest of the day!
