Shopping centers and malls: Colombo Shopping centers and malls Review

First off, let me say I just despise this place because it is incessantly huge and overwhelming (let me state that I am an atypical female and despise shopping in general)....but if you're looking for a good mall I'd recommend Colombo. It is the largest mall in Iberia. Used to be the largest in Europe, but times have changed.

Aside from more than 400 stores, there is an indoor/outdoor amusement park, a supermarket (called Continente), cinema, health club, and a variety of international restaurants.

You can probably find anything you're looking for here.

Open daily 10am to 12pm

What to buy: anything and everything

Address: Avenida Lusiada

Directions: Metro: Colegio Militar/Luz
Linha Azul (Blue line)
near Benfica Stadium

there is an entrance to the mall from the Metro station - how convenient

Shopping centers and malls: Armazéns do Chiado Shopping centers and malls Review

The shopping mall Armazéns do Chiado is a good place for tourists to visit. Aside from its central location and proximity to Baixa-Chiado, it has a variety of shops and restaurants that will appeal to tourists of all countries.

The most noteable store here is FNAC, a huge music, books, and electronic store. Come here and peruse the lusophone and english book selection, or listen to a fado CD.

Eat a typical portuguese meal at one of the restaurants here, or opt for the easy way out with the everso notorious golden arches.

Browse the rest of the stores to find fashionable Portuguese shoes, clothing, and accessories.

There is also a large sporting goods store within the mall.

There was a fire that destroyed much of Chiado in 1988 and it started in the mall. Since then, much renovation has taken place to restore the neighborhood.
