To Shop in Sintra
Sintra offers something unique to shoppers because its historic center was declared a UNESCO Heritage of Humanity site in 1995. The old town is called Vila Velha and there are plenty of shops in quaint buildings to keep you busy for a while. While there are many trinket shops aimed at tourists, if you get a bit off the beaten path you will find fine art and handcrafted ceramics at reasonable prices.
Many of the historic sites have their own gift shops and
offer unique souvenirs to remember your time in Sintra. One thing
to remember while shopping in Sintra is to look at the shops
themselves. Many of them have a fascinating history that the store
owners may share to those interested in stories to go with their
souvenirs.
