Embaixada

Príncipe Real is chock full of indie stores, and one of the neighbourhood’s retail highlights is Embaixada, a shopping gallery that highlights fashion and design from Portugal and beyond. Situated in the 19th-century, Arab-style Ribeiro da Cunha Palace, the setting is gorgeous, completed with a dramatic staircase, a courtyard and a vintage elevator, it’s a striking juxtaposition to the modern lifestyle, which includes merchandise, furniture, decoration, gifts or clothes.
