It's a chain of shops selling books, CDs, software, computers and other stuff. They also do photo processing, ticket sales for concerts and events, hold photo/art exhibitions, and have a juice bar.

I think it's French but you'll see them in the big shopping areas in Lisbon. Open until late. It's a sort of modern-funky Ikea.

Colombo shopping centre, and at other locations around the city;
Metro: Colegio Militar (the station is inside the shopping centre);

The airport is a confusing maze of roads and is on the edge of a very fast through route (Segunda Circular) with crazy drivers, missing road signs, and other road signs that are just plain wrong.

Bad accidents on this road are very common. Parking is near impossible anywhere central, and even expensive hotel carparks are so small that getting in and out takes some serious precision driving.

If you're staying in the downtown area Metro, walking is all you need.

A modern(ish) shopping centre that looks like it's straight out of Blade Runner. It's black inside, grimey, very 'low rent' and people carry giant sacks of stuff about.

Great for exotic fruit and African fabrics and the like. It's not a usual tourist destination.

Metro: Martim Moniz, which is actually inside the shopping centre
