Chiado
The Chiado, a wedge of wide streets between Rua do Crucifixo and Rua da Misericórdia, is elegantly 18th century, with upmarket shops and cafés. It leads up to the contrastingly weblike Bairro Alto (upper district), a fashionable 17th-century residential quarter, now the Lisbon Soho with one-off designers, vintage boutiques, record shops, restaurants and boho bars and cafés.

Confeitaria Nacional
This quaint old confeitaria (a shop that sells sweets or pastries), founded in 1829, is a great spot to drop in for a quick café pingado (espresso with a little milk). While you're there, pick up some of the wonderfully packaged biscuits - they make a great gift... if you can stop yourself from eating them.

Manuel Tavares
The window display of this lovely Art Deco shop is jam-packed with wine, port and delicatessen items. Inside you'll find a bewildering array of ports, but what we love here is the morcelas (blood sausage) and the range of other chouriços (sausages) that make a great snack with some of the wonderful cheeses on offer.

Napoleão
This is the shop for port lovers. The staff are knowledgeable, the selection is excellent and they'll let you have a little tipple on the house. The '100 Years of Port' collection makes a great gift - a small set of Presidential Porto ports that are 10, 20, 30, and 40 years old. They know their Portuguese wines equally as well.
