Porto

Shopping in Porto

  1. A

    Cc Bombarda

    Amid the galleries along Rua Miguel Bombarda, the small, unique CC Bombarda is well worth a peek. Inside this shopping gallery, you’ll find stores selling locally designed urban wear, bonsai trees, stylish home knick-knacks, Portuguese indie rock and other hipster-pleasing delights. There’s a shop (Frida) where you can order a doll made to your own likeness and a cafe (Pimenta Rosa) serving light fare on an inner courtyard.
