Commercial centers and concepts stores in Lisbon
Like any big city, Lisbon is full of shopping centers... But some come out of the lot! One of the best known is probably the Embaixada The Príncipe Real district. This shopping centre is housed in the magnificent Ribeiro da Cunha Palace, a huge neo-mauresque-style building. Inside, there is a multitude of designer boutiques in chic and trendy style: clothing, accessories, cosmetics, ceramists, restaurants... For a more urban experience, run to the LX Factory , a center-commercial-coworking-galerie that self-defined as “a factory of experiments”. Hosted in an old industrial building, there are now designer boutiques, bookstores, workshops, restaurants and cafes...
