Centro Colombo is a large shopping centre in Lisbon, Portugal, the stadium is across from Estádio da 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. read more
