The maritime themed Vasco da Gama Centre is one of the most modern and eye-catching of Lisbon's shopping malls. Located in Parque das Nacoes east of the city centre, the centre features 164 stores and boutiques, including 36 restaurants. A multiplex movie theatre with 10 cinema screens, and a health club provide further distraction for the discerning shopper. Well-known international chains mingle with Portuguese retail outlets, and the choice is what you'd expect from one of the biggest and most popular malls in the capital. A huge hypermarket on the ground floor acts as a suitable anchor. Visually, the building is stunning, particularly at night when cleverly placed lighting illuminates the facade and the three-story interior. For non-shoppers, a table on one of the upstairs cafe terraces offers respite and a fine view of the immediate vicinity and the river beyond.
