There are also good shops at the city center depending what you’re looking for (“Arcádia” and” Chocolataria Equador” for amazing chocolate and “A vida Portuguesa” for retro Portuguese items that vary from very pretty soaps to tableware).
There are also lovely pins and t-shirts and other memorabilia from Porto Swing Jam at the reception desk if you want to bring something pretty to your country. 🙂
