    This is a wonderful spot. The building is beautiful and all the shops are focused on sustainability. The staff are lovely. Unfortunately, everything costs a fortune so I was just browsing. What a gem to come across.

    One of many concept stores you will find in Lisbon but this one is definitely the classiest. You can buy scent, clothes, oil paintings as well as dine in. It’s a bit out of way from the tourist hotspot but still quite accessible via public transit. It’s a beautiful neighborhood with wide streets lined by stores and a large park nearby. Stop by!

    Definitely the most beautiful "shopping center" in Lisbon, showcasing Portuguese and ecological products, in a beautiful, renovated old building. Well worth a visit!

    Very nice building! Went there on August 21st, it was pretty dead inside... Due to the Covid I’m guessing. Not too much to see inside except a couple of stores. I wouldn’t say it’s a “must do” if you are visiting Lisbonne.

    A principe real gem! And a great way to while away time by strolling up the grand staircase and browsing the eclectic assortment of vendors on display... Have a drink at Gin Lovers while you're at it!

    More appealing for the building than the shops, which are tiny boutiques, on the expensive side. The building, though,is fascinating and makes it worth a look if you're in the area. I wouldn't make a dedicated trip. The building is a mix of Art Nouveau in the paintings and decorations, but the structure is Moorish Revival, an unexpected pairing. Be sure to check out the ceilings, which often have some adornment. Not easily accessible for anyone who struggles with stairs.

    Very nice shopping and cafe/restaurant venue in Principe Real area of Lisboa. Very charming shops in historic building in Lisboa. Unique shops and restaurants compared to big shopping malls in Lisboa. Definitely worth checking out.

    Feels more like an art gallery or museum than a shop, being in an old palace type building. Several independent chops for clothes, art and cosmetics dotted around, as well as a cafe

    Lisbon. Definitely the most beautiful shopping place we’ve seen! So charming & quaint with its little boutique shops. If you have extra time, do pass by & the neighborhood surrounding it seems very nice & where we’d potentially look into if we wanted to retire in Lisbon!

    Even if you do not intend to shop I would recommend to have a look at EmbaiXada. It's a beautiful location, full of various different shops and pop ups. On the pricy side, but looks like quality as well. It's worth it simply for the inspiration :)

    Is this the most beautiful shopping palace in the world? I do think it might be! Not large, but absolutely stunning! And art gallery and lovely food/bar options downstairs. Don't miss this!

    Assortment of local vendors selling locally made goods in an “Arabic Palace”. Well-done, community-focused spot to shop, sit and relax.

    Das Einkaufszentrum EmbaiXada in Lissabon verdient von mir vier Sterne. Die Location ist wirklich beeindruckend – ein historisches Gebäude, das sehr geschmackvoll modernisiert wurde und nun eine einzigartige Mischung aus Tradition und Moderne bietet. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die zahlreichen portugiesischen Shops, die von Kleidung bis zu Schuhmarken eine Vielfalt an speziellen Produkten anbieten. Ein Highlight ist definitiv die Bar von Gin Lover innerhalb des Einkaufszentrums, die mit einer speziellen Auswahl an eigenen Gins überzeugt. Jeder Drink wird dort mit viel Liebe zum Detail zubereitet, was den Besuch zu einem besonderen Erlebnis macht. Die Shops im EmbaiXada sind tendenziell eher boutique-mässig, was sich sowohl in der Exklusivität der Produkte als auch im Preisniveau widerspiegelt. Sie sind teuer und speziell, was sicherlich nicht jedermanns Sache ist, aber einen Besuch wert, wenn man nach etwas Einzigartigem sucht. Aus diesem Grund vergebe ich vier Sterne – das EmbaiXada ist ein besonderer Ort in Lissabon, der zwar nicht für das alltägliche Shopping, aber definitiv für ein aussergewöhnliches Einkaufserlebnis zu empfehlen ist.

    Fun shopping center of boutiques in an old palace. Center atrium is seating for Gin Lovers.

    Nice decoration shopping mall with creative fashion and lifestyle design products in a nice suburban Principe real

  • 4/5 Sheila B. 5 months ago on Google • 123 reviews
    This beautiful, old palace now houses many stores, bars, and restaurants selling fine-quality goods made in Portugal. We climbed lots of stairs to get here, plus we climbed more stairs in the building, so wear comfortable footwear.

    A diferent and classy place in Lisbon, with a wonderful balcony. The gin and cocktail options are plenty and wel prepared. The service is nice and friendly.

    The place is very beautiful and the selection of stores interesting. Good for a quick walk around

  • 2/5 Nuri �. 10 months ago on Google
    The building is nice but it is small and nothing special about the stores inside. Did not need to see this place in my limited time in Lisbon

  • 5/5 Natalie A. 10 months ago on Google
    Worth it even if you buy nothing. Stores are expensive but the building is unreal. So gorgeous!!

  • 5/5 Petr V. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Steffi M. 8 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Wunderschönes Gebäude mit vielen tollen kleinen Läden. Alles in gehobener Preiskategorie aber dafür auch qualitativ hochwertig. Im EG gibt es noch eine Bar mit vielen verschiedenen Gin Sorten und einem kleinen Balkon. Ist definitiv einen Besuch wert.

  • 4/5 Claudia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very characteristic, the palace is old and fascinating and the collections are quite unique and interesting to look at

  • 5/5 Lleemm 1 year ago on Google
    Gin lovers oddly had some of the best food we had in Portugal. It’s also a very beautiful building.

  • 3/5 Rui S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fancy without being super expensive, however too oriented for the tourist, without the nice and smart touch they had 10 years ago. Where it was more known for the alternative.

  • 5/5 Inês M. 1 year ago on Google
    Arabic style building with several stores and restaurants inside. The building is super cool and the shops are worth checking out

  • 4/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice art and small stores, but the whole building smells like a toilet from ancient times

  • 5/5 Jerry Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Stumbled in not knowing what this was. And was treated to a most beautiful venue of dining and wonderful botoque shops. The name means Embassy and the building has that grandeur. Shopped at Ecola that has wonderful wool clothing at very reasonable prices. Full wool cloaks for €290. Wonderful scarves of all colors for €25. Service was excellent and friendly. Def come see this building shopping is a plus!

  • 5/5 Mustafa (. 6 years ago on Google
    Super cool place with small shops with high quality goods. Artists and a very good restaurant. Typical Portuguese food and modern kitchen. Cool surroundings, botanical garden of Lisboa,... I can hardly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Agnese N. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely and unique place in Lisbon. Everything is special about this place. Great gin bar(in such a lovely October weather could have open outside terrace(was closed)), have fab place to eat stake too. Art surrounded and creative. Advice to see and enjoy

  • 5/5 Alexis A. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food with great decor and wonderful staff. Ceviches are fresh and made of local products, desserts are unique and flavorful.

  • 5/5 K. N. 5 years ago on Google
    This is an awesome concept store in a absolute unique location. You can find small new brands, a restaurant and a gin bar. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Frank jr J. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice boutique shops.

  • 4/5 Carolina W. 5 years ago on Google
    The building is super beautiful and it’s worth a visit just to look around. The stores sell design stuff and a lot of beautiful things with good quality, but the prices are high. It’s located right next to a park and there is a viewpoint nearby so it’s probably worth it to go uphill to come here! You can also eat here.

  • 3/5 Juan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Sangria is not good enough, meat is great and service depends on which waitress you order, sometimes it is friendly, sometimes it is not. To be honest, I thought it was much better (having in mind how much I paid)

  • 5/5 Aleksandra Le Bailly de La F. 2 years ago on Google
    An architectural gem! Charming restaurants and shops, promoting exceptional Portuguese products, in a truly precious historical building.

  • 5/5 Sarah Z. 2 years ago on Google
