Main shopping areas:
There are some areas in Lisbon specially devoted to shopping. Clothing, jewellery, shoes, purses, perfumes, ceremony customs, trinkets and almost everything you might need are just some of the things that you can find on those areas.
Downtown – the area frequently called “Baixa” (downtown) comprises the Rossio, the Augusta street and its transversal streets, the recently renewed Chiado and the Liberdade (Freedom) 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.
Nowadays, you will be able to find here some of the best shops, restaurants, theatres and many more. This is Lisbon’s heart and the place to find names like Emporio, Augustus, Benetton, Levi’s, etc.
