Lisbon Shopping

Lisbon, Portugal travel guide

The Elevador de Santa Justa
(far end of street) lifts tourists and locals from the Baixa to the
Bairro Alto shopping district. It opened for business in 1901. |
General Shopping Information
I'm not a shopper, but even I find it hard to resist the azulejo tiles
and handpainted dishes of Portugal. I also have a prized collection of records
and CDs from Portugal, including albums from Madredeus and Mísia.
And I wouldn't dream of leaving Lisbon without a kilo or two of Portuguese
coffee.
