Shopping
Downtown - the area frequently called Baixa comprises the Rossio, the Augusta Avenue and its transversal streets, the recently renewed Chiado and the Liberdade Avenue . This is one of the oldest commercial areas in Lisbon. You will easily find streets named after the business or job that was done there once. Prata (Silver) Street, Ouro (Gold) Street and Ferreiros (Blacksmiths) Street are some of the examples we can quote.

Shopping Centres - shopping centres are almost everywhere in the city. Bigger or smaller, they will do their best to suit your needs. We decided to list the bigger surfaces: Colombo, Vasco da Gama, Amoreiras and El Corte Inglés. These areas include several shops of different branches of business, including restaurants and leisure facilities like movie theatres and mini playground sets. Almost all business establishments in Portugal are open on weekdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm and between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm, and on Saturdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm. There are many shopping centers that are open from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm every day, including weekends. |
