A Vida Portuguesa is a charming Portuguese artisan shop in Chiado, originally opened in 2007 by journalist Catarina Portas. The acclaimed store, which has been featured in Time Out Lisbon, has since grown to offer three locations, including outposts in Porto and Lisbon. Classic Portuguese artisan and home goods are sold at the store, ranging from kitchenware and stationery to craft beer and floor waxes, striving to create a visual inventory of the country's most time-tested and beloved artisan brands and goods and highlight the country's manufacturing output on the world stage. Many goods are packaged in beautiful custom wrappings and boxes, making purchases perfect ready-made souvenirs for tourists to take home to loved ones.
