The main shopping street in Porto is the Rua de Santa Catarina in the city center. Here you can find a wealth of clothes and shoe shops as well as stores offering a variety of design items and all kinds of trendy accessories. Via Catarina, Porto’s most charming shopping center, is located along this street, at the corner of Rua Fernandes Tomar. The storefronts inside are replicas of the kinds of facades typical of old Northern Portugal village shops.
On some of the side streets to Rua de Santa Catarina there are some excellent food shops with lovely, tiled facades. Other Porto shopping
centers include the Centro Comercial Peninsular and the Centro Comercial Cidade de Porto on Rua do Bom Successo. Visitors interested in buying port wine should visit
Garrafeira do Carmo, Rua do Carmo 17-18, which has a large selection of wines, some of which are more than hundred years old.
Shops are generally open Monday to Friday 0900-1300 and 1500-1900 and Saturday 0900-1300. Shopping centers are open daily 1000-2300/2400.
