I visited Lisbon recently, and came upon this shopping center in the heart of downtown Chiado. It's…read moreunassuming from the front, but once enter, you discover a modern bright shopping mall inside. To be completely transparent, I only stopped in to use the restroom. I really didn't do any shopping here. It was fun to walk through and see the lights and lovely holiday decorations. (And a tip - if you need a restroom - here's a spot.) But what makes this place special are the holiday lights on the exterior. They have a lovely light and music display that runs at certain times (not sure how often), which passersby stop by and watch. It's really fun to watch. We came upon it by accident, but so glad we did. So for me, the fun is in people watching, and the decor outside. For shopping in Lisbon - you may find what you need here, but you may also really enjoy stopping in the many shops on the streets.

Armazéns do Chiado is a shopping centre within the city centre of Lisbon, although quite small…read morecompared to European / US standards, it is still quite an impressive building and the opening hours until 11 PM remain useful for shopping into the evening. There aren't a great deal of stores here, the total on the website states 50, and that felt accurate based on my experience. Some international brands which have stores here include Kiko Milano and Sephora, Mango, Tommy Jeans, and The Body Shop. There are multiple options for food and drink including large American chains such as McDonald's and Starbucks. There is some seating around the small, again which is handy if you're looking to sit down while shopping, or walking around the city, without heading into a cafe/restaurant. 3* - Certainly dwarfed by the Colombo Shopping Centre which is further out, but the best out of limited options if you're looking for a mall in central Lisbon, it is an impressive building and the Starbucks / McDonald's are particularly useful in this location.

It lacked men's fashion stores. Overall it's a very beautiful space inside and a good hang out place at the Atrium. It was super close to the hotel we stayed at so we decided to check it out. However I wouldn't go out of my way to find this place to shop. Eating wise, they have a few food court style eateries. We ended up getting some ice cream from Mubaba cafe which was really yummy. The eatery right next to it had fresh juices and sandwiches. The food area has food seating and hanging out area. Atrium is decent but they need to add more stores and variety.

Centro Colombo is a large shopping centre in Lisbon, Portugal, the stadium is across from Estádio…read moreda Luz, the largest football stadium in Portugal and home to S.L. Benfica. Colégio Militar/Luz Metro Station has an entrance pretty much right outside if you're visiting on public transport. The look/feel of the mall is very interesting - it has parts that show a little need for TLC, while other parts are modern or showcasing the stunning traditional Portuguese architecture, I did find the layout of the mall to make it quite difficult to navigate overall though. There was a giant Christmas tree in the central area of the mall, right in front of Nespresso which was a festive touch as I visited in December. It is home to the largest Primark in Portugal. Other international brands located here include Adidas, BOSS Menswear, Foot Locker, Nespresso and many others. There is also a supermarket (Continente) and a blast from the past, as there's a bricks-and-mortar Toys "R" Us store here, a brand which vanished back home in the UK many years ago. For food and drink, there are a couple of options for fast food including Burger King and McDonald's, but there aren't many options for coffee. I was surprised to see Starbucks absent from the mall. One of the coolest things about the mall for me is that most of the stores are open until midnight. A mall like this would likely close around 8-9 PM back home in the UK, so for a night owl like myself this is awesome! Although, this is traditional in Lisbon as a whole. 4* - The best place to shop in Lisbon, not without its flaws but certainly worth a visit on a rare rainy day in the city or if you have to pick up something while visiting the Portuguese capital.

This was the nicest mall we visited in Lisbon…read more It was a short Metro ride from Rossi and close to Parque de Nacoes, the aquarium and the Arena. It contained both local and international stores as well as some restaurants. A huge Continente anchored the first floor and sold both groceries and some apparel. Very reasonable pricing. It's a bit outside of Lisbon, closer to the airport, so head here if in the area.

Late-night shopping is a big thing in Portugal, so the mall is open until midnight, although individual store opening times will of course vary. The selection of the stores within the mall isn't great, but the most impressive thing about it is the Architecture, the mall is stunning, with a whole glass arcade, and a mini arch which reminds me a little of London's Wembley Stadium. There weren't many international brands that I was familiar with here, I only really recognised Claire's, JD Sports, Nespresso and H&M. Many of the stores I'm sure will be interesting to the local Portuguese population though, with more familiar brands for me being elsewhere in the city. For food and drink, you can find Burger King amongst other smaller brands. The toilets aren't free, while I understand public toilets for free is less common around Europe, you shouldn't have to pay to pee, especially when you're spending money and shopping anyway. For shopping in Lisbon, I much prefer Colombo which is larger and has a better selection of places to eat and drink, but this isn't a bad alternative if you're looking for a change, something a bit more modern, or close to the Airport. 3*

(McDonald's in Portugal while moving from one place to another - 1 of 2)…read more You may come across this McDonald's if you are a local and are shopping at the huge Vasco da Gama indoor shopping center in the Parque das Nacoes complex. You may also come across it if you are at the Oriente train station minted as a landmark for Expo 98 and you decide you don't like the food options in there while waiting for a train or a long distance bus. In this regard, this McDonald's is a win ... because I don't like the food options in the Oriente station. There are very few things I like at McDonald's and most of their food isn't really that good for you. I could go for a Filet-o-Fish but the price difference for a Big Mac isn't that much more, so that's what I order when at a McDonald's in another country and I make it a combo, with medium fries and a medium soft drink. Note that the prices for this meal are fair here and more favorable than in Italy or Spain. They will also give you some ketchup whereas in Italy you have seemingly have to pay for it at most McDonald's. To me, that's like not giving you napkins with your meal. I have wandered over from the massive and unique multi-modal Oriente station and have eaten here twice. On both occasions, they were packed with folks having lunch. For that matter, all of the food court merchants were very busy and finding a place to sit was not easy. When you find one, you move quickly. On both occasions, my hat was off to the employee who saw that I had luggage and could not wheel it to the table and carry a tray with a Big Mac meal without having it tip over. They helped me by carrying the tray to the table I had found. It's all there at this McDonald's - the food you know, service that is better than that provided by sullen teenagers in the U.S., a value priced meal, and, most of all, the interior of the Vasco da Gama center is big, open, and airy, featuring regular stores, high end stores, and a big (possibly on steroids) Continente "hypermarket" at the ground level. Getting here from the Oriente station across the street is easy, either via the pedestrian crossing at street level, through a below street level passageway, and, if I recall, there has been a footbridge over Avenida Dom Joao II as well, though it seemed to be closed this last time. Except for how busy it is, this is a good McDonald's and you can be among the few token tourist gringos (a term definitely used in Brazilian Portuguese) in here having a meal.
