Shopping in Lisbon

Lisbon is an exclusive and classic place to do exciting shopping.  Visit the elegant Chiado district that was reconstructed and redesigned by Oporto architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, since it caught fire back in 1998.  In downtown, you can spot a larger variety of shops.  In Bairro Alto there are funkier places to shop and you may find exclusive designs by Fátima Lopes (Rua da Atalaia 36, 213 240 546, closed Sun), and specialists such as candle maker Casa de Velas Loreto (Rua do Loreto 53, 213 425 387, closed Sun).

If you are looking for the best edible souvenirs, visit Martins & Costais (Rua Alexandre Herculano 34, 213 141 617, closed Sun). In the Centro Commercial Mouraria, you will find a wider variety of merchandize and to find a great mix of Chinese, African, and Indian shops, visit Largo Martim Moniz.
