The Vasco da Gama Center is a large shopping mall on the east side of Lisbon. It's located near the Park of Nations, the Lisbon Oceanarium, and the Orient train station. It has both regular stores and high end stores, a great food court, cinema, and plenty of room to walk around both inside and on the outside promenade. I've eaten at several of their restaurants and those are all quite good. Highly recommend. read more

This was the nicest mall we visited in Lisbon. 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. read more

Centro Vasco da Gama is a modern shopping centre in Lisbon, it is located across the way from Cabo Ruivo on the Lisbon Metro and isn't too far away from Lisbon Airport. 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* read more

It's a mall. I always like going to other countries and checking out how locals live, especially grocery stores, because I want to see how they eat and keep a household. Malls too, can be interesting, but our world is so globalized now, it's hard to find anything culturally different in a mall. What is neat, though, is to see how products vary from nation to nation. Gap in London does not have the same line as it does in the US. Lacoste and Adidas in France are totally different from how they are stateside. Etc. So for that, the place was interesting. And, they did have some Euro brand stores not available in the US, which are fun to find. There was a popular craft beer kiosk near the main entrance, as well as other typical kiosks throughout the main skylight-ed concourse. This mall is in the Parque de las Naciones district, a district that is more for locals than tourists with redevelopment toward highrises of offices and apartments. Thus, the mall is very popular with Lisbonites, but of course tourists still find their way here and are plenty welcome. Bathrooms are clean and newly designed. The train/metro/bus hub station, Estação do Oriente, is across the street, so this is very easy to get to, from any part of the city and beyond. If you need something from the mall while in Lisbon, I recommend this place, but if you are in Lisbon from abroad, like we were, I recommend getting in and out quickly, so you can go take in the loads of old culture this beautiful city has to offer! read more

Large and modern shopping mall just across the street from the Oriente metro/train station, which you can also reach underground. Travelers will see familiar names such as Guess, H&M, Lacoste, Pandora, Nike, Sephora, Zara, Aldo, Claire's and more. (You don't often see Lacoste, H&M and Claire's in the same mall, but here you go!) Some may really like the food court where Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's all line up to nurse your home sickness. (Again, in US they don't tend to put direct competitions together.) There are still plenty of local shops and restaurants that still give you a sense of traveling and seeing new things. There's also a movie theater on the top floor and a huge supermarket in the basement. The mall is open till midnight, so if you are still full of energy after a day of sight-seeing, here's where you can shop till you drop! read more

This mall is relatively new, and the architecture is interesting--not your typical mall design. It's also a space that allows a lot of natural light in, which I liked. However, it's a mall, which means it's full of people and not much of anything interesting, unless you're looking for the same exact chain stores you'll find pretty much anywhere else. That said, the people watching is good, and even better is the riverfront not too far outside. read more

We went shopping at the Continente supermarket and was doing a self-check out but had some trouble passing some items. One of the attendants came and shouted at us, she was so aggressive and mean that I wanted to drop all the shopping and get out of there. Will never return to that supermarket. read more

If you need a mall, where you know you can find all the basic stuff: shoes, clothes, makeup, jewelry, food court, home goods, and here, even grocery mega store, this is your spot. I wished they had more little local boutiques, but such is a mall. I enjoyed just getting a feel for what a Portuguese mall in a metropolitan area is like. And guess what? Not much different from an American one. Pretty busy, and do wish they had a directory or two, but I just did laps to scope it all out. read more

Looks much more impressive than it actually is. Architecture is nice, but malls itself isn't functional especially if you're there with luggage! There also weren't any directories listing store names/location. During my visit, half of the escalators were out of order. Most stores have narrow aisles, so you won't be able to pass. Best to go with another person so they can watch your luggage while you pop in/out of the shops. Main hall does NOT have AC, and heats up rather quickly because the roof is basically a huge skylight, so it basically feels like a greenhouse. Individual stores were air conditioned though. Food court on the 3rd floor was a bit cramped. However there was a lovely rooftop patio with a beautiful view that you won't get in many places, so take advantage of that especially on a nice day! read more

Large shopping mall north of the heart of the city & adjacent to Gare Oriente. Definitely seemed to attract a crowd as it was teeming with people of all ages. Lots of shopping & dining options. We didn't stay here too long as we were really only passing through on our way to lunch and we ducked in to get out of the rain for a bit. It had something for everyone though; from Zara, to Nike to H&M. However, when I'm traveling, I leave limited room for souvenirs so my bulk of shopping was going to be done elsewhere on this trip. read more

It's a retail mall just like you'd expect except the location and hours of operation make up the lack of local and artisanal Portuguese stores that didn't make the cut. If you're in the area, it's extremely close to the airport and chances are you'll end up here because of the lack of nearby eateries. Literally everything is inside this mass center. Certain stores have a different lineup and while I was searching for more artisanal products, their Zara home store really got me giddy. Euros are pricier than dollars and while the food is a great deal, retail might not be the best option- especially when there's a ton of a Victoria's Secret stores here. It's nice to walk around though and since it's open until midnight, you can easily shop after your dinner without the rush of being closed on. It's right on the water which makes for great outdoor dining (weather permitting) and really stands out in the new eastern district of Lisboa. read more

So ... The place seems To be Nice but I was trying To find out H&M for 30mn ... The plan is not clear... Not enough escalators... At The end only wanted To leave this place ... I'll never go Back there for shopping... read more

It's one of my favourite places in Lisbon (i spent there a lot of time). Many stores, restaurants, cinema, grocery etc. But it's not as perfect as it looks. Since one year i can see renovation - toilets, roof. You never know where and how to get in. Worse part: there's not so many toilets and even if you'll finally get there it's sooo busy and unfortunately messy (don't want to say dirty). Upstairs where is restaurant part - restaurants are great with tasty food but all these trashes and dirty dishes around. Don't dress up too warm, aircondition is very poor... Shopping mall is really well located, with nice views, nice modern design. Just be patient about fixing parts and you'll survive. :) in general it's a nice place to spend time. read more
