Vasco da Gama Shopping Center
And from the space where Expo ‘98 (1998 Lisbon International Exposition) took place, as a phoenix reborn from the ashes, rose another great shopping center of Lisbon.
Here the theme is the Oceans, which is visible from the ceilings to the elevators, not to mention the bathrooms. Even the name of this shopping center serves as a tribute to the great discoverer of the sea route to India: Vasco da Gama. Inside, in addition to fishes and other marine animals on the walls, you'll find over 150 shops, restaurants and even a health club. And if you do not do well in enclosed spaces, you can always take a short hop out at Parque das Nações and enjoy the wonderful view over the Tagus, the Vasco da Gama Bridge and the south edge of Tagus. For the little ones, Parque das Nações is a must-see! The Pavilion of Knowledge and the Oceanarium are two of the possible suggestions.
