Shopping in Portugal can be called the most unusual shopping in Europe. Surprisingly, sales here are conducted in accordance with the laws of Portugal: January 7 - February 28 (winter sale) and August 7-September 30 (summer sale). Also, all stores, except grocery, during the day are interrupted by a siesta, which lasts 2 hours - from 13:00 to 15:00.
What can I buy in Lisbon?
Shopping in Lisbon is different in that you can buy things here that you will not find in other European cities. So, in the historical center of the city - Baixa district, there are shops with original souvenirs made of cork, leather goods, clothes and shoes. There you can also visit antique shops with rare things and objects.
In Lisbon, one of the largest shopping centers in Europe is Centro Colombo. It has 60 cafes and restaurants for every taste and 10 cinemas, which already speaks of the giant size of the center. There are 440 stores in it, in which absolutely everything is sold - from souvenirs to luxury jewelry.
The most original shopping center can rightly be called Center Vasco da Gama. It is made in a creative modern design: the glass roof drains the water, thereby creating the effect of a large aquarium. In the market there are branded boutiques of world brands, a cinema, a grocery supermarket and many cafes and snackbars.
Shopping center Stivali is known as a multi-brand large store. There are shops of the best brands in it:

In this center you can buy things from past collections with a very good discount of 50%.
The most popular among locals is Amoreiras. Not taking into account the abundance of shops located on its territory, it conquers by being on top of a hill. From the windows of the center opens a spectacular view. In addition, Amoreiras is the first shopping center that was opened in Lisbon.
