Lisbon’s Best Independent Boutiques?
American Express features independent shops in Europe.
Now more than ever, it’s important to shop local and help small stores weather the storm. The fact that your shopping spree now counts as a good deed, well that’s just a plus. To gather inspiration for our next trip to the shops, we asked top bloggers, influencers and insiders in ten of Europe’s best-loved cities to tell us about the independent local shops they love.
And they didn’t disappoint: From milliners to chocolatiers, artists, designers, toy makers, jewellers and peanut butter purveyors, their tips tell of shop owners with a passion for what they make and curate.

I keep getting invitations to participate, collaborate or contribute with ideas, content, mutual linking etc from smaller and bigger international magazines and blogs.
I don’t consider myself as top bloggers or influencers. I just blog about our life and interests and don’t mind sharing if we feel we have something relevant to share.
Like when American Express asked us for tips to independent and interesting shops in Lisbon.
Instead of ‘just’ listing random tips we used the occasion to feature our favorite part of Lisbon: Graça, Penha de França and the iconic Arroios east and west from Almirante Reis from Lisbon’s Chinatown in the south, to green and spacious Alameda in the north. It’s here you find the young and multicultural shops, and classic ones that survive, alongside cosy galleries, cool co-working spaces and countless interesting places to eat and drink.
There are so many cool places in Lisbon. So our picks may not be the best-of-the-best. BUT if you follow the list on AmExEssentials – they will take you through the two most happening part of town right now: From Arroios to our favorite places in Graça.
