Passeio dos Clérigos

Aliados & Bolhão


This funky, high-end shopping mall tunnels below the manicured lawn of Praça de Lisboa, with the iconic Torre dos Clérigos positioned at one entrance and Livraria Lello at the other. Stores include Hugo Boss, Pinko and Max & Co, and sit alongside a cluster of restaurants.

You’ll find Costa Coffee on the corner, and open-air bar Base hovers on top.
