Souvenirs from Lisbon Shopping is great fun in Lisbon, and there are many stores selling lovely Portuguese crafts. The area known as the Chiado, in downtown Lisbon, is the smartest shopping district, with streets lined with numerous classy clothing and jewelry boutiques. Carpets from the village of Arraiolos are a superb buy, as is the exquisite porcelain manufactured by Vista Alegre. Linen and cotton sheets and tablecloths are another Portuguese specialty. You can even have the lovely glazed tiles, azulejos, made to order, or track down something made from cork, one of Portugal's biggest exports. |
