Best vintage shops in Lisbon: where to shop second-hand

Lisbon has a strong vintage and second-hand shopping scene, with everything from carefully selected designer pieces to large thrift stores where finding something good takes patience.

Baixa and Chiado are the easiest areas for a short vintage-shopping route. Arroios, Anjos, Estrela and Alcântara have smaller shops worth visiting if you want to move beyond the busiest streets.

Stock changes constantly, so the experience is never exactly the same twice. Check each shop’s Instagram before visiting for new arrivals, temporary closures and updated opening hours.

1. A Outra Face da Lua — a Lisbon vintage classic

A Outra Face da Lua is one of the most established vintage shops in central Lisbon. The family-run store has operated in Baixa since 2005 and specialises in vintage clothing and accessories for different styles and decades.

Its selection usually includes colourful shirts, dresses, denim, jackets, kimonos, hats, scarves and bags. The presentation is more organised and curated than a traditional thrift store, making it a good starting point if you want vintage pieces without searching through crowded rails.

Prices are generally higher than at a charity-style second-hand shop, but the work of selecting and organising the collection is reflected in the experience.

Best for: colourful vintage, accessories and a carefully presented collection
Location: Rua da Assunção, 22, Baixa

2. Ás de Espadas — statement pieces in Baixa

Ás de Espadas is another strong choice for curated vintage in central Lisbon. The shop is known for clothing from several decades, including leather jackets, printed shirts, evening dresses, denim, handbags and more unusual statement pieces.

The collection includes clothes for women and men. It is particularly useful if you want something distinctive rather than basic second-hand clothing.

Ás de Espadas has had locations around Baixa and Chiado, so confirm the current address on Instagram before starting your route. Its shop on Rua da Conceição is close to A Outra Face da Lua, making the two easy to visit together.

Best for: retro dresses, leather, bags and statement clothing
Location: Rua da Conceição, 117–119, Baixa

3. Paraphernalia — the former Flamingos Vintage Kilo

Paraphernalia Vintage Store occupies the space previously known as Flamingos Vintage Kilo Lisboa. The concept changed in 2026: clothing is no longer primarily sold by weight, and the store now focuses on a smaller selection of individually priced vintage pieces.

You may find jackets, shirts, dresses, branded items, scarves, bags, jewellery and sunglasses. The central location makes it easy to include in the same shopping route as the vintage stores around Rua da Conceição and Rua da Assunção.

Travellers who remember Flamingos should not expect the old kilo-sale format. Check the current collection and any special promotions on Instagram before visiting.

Best for: selected vintage, accessories and an easy stop in Baixa
Location: Rua dos Douradores, 168, Baixa

4. Retro City Lisboa — a larger collection in Anjos

Retro City Lisboa is worth the journey beyond the main tourist-shopping streets. Located near Anjos, the shop carries a broad collection of vintage clothing, with pieces associated with different periods from the second half of the 20th century.

Expect denim, military-inspired clothing, leather jackets, coats, patterned shirts, sportswear and accessories. The wider selection makes Retro City better for browsing than for finding one guaranteed item.

Prices depend on the type and condition of the piece. As with most curated vintage stores, this is different from low-cost thrifting: you are partly paying for the shop’s selection and organisation.

Best for: denim, outerwear, military pieces and longer browsing
Location: Rua Maria Andrade, 43, Anjos

5. Humana — affordable second-hand shopping

Humana Portugal is one of the most accessible options for shoppers interested in price rather than a highly curated boutique experience.

The organisation has several shops in Lisbon, including standard second-hand stores and locations with a stronger vintage focus. Stock is renewed regularly, and prices may be reduced during sales cycles before a new collection arrives.

Humana requires more patience than the smaller vintage boutiques. Rails can contain a wide mix of styles, brands, sizes and conditions, but that is also where some of the best-value finds appear.

Check Instagram for current store addresses, collection changes and promotional days. If one branch has nothing suitable, another may have a completely different selection.

Best for: budget shopping, everyday clothes and unexpected finds
Locations: several shops across Lisbon

6. DearVains — curated 1990s and Y2K fashion

DearVains started as an online vintage project before opening a physical shop in Alcântara. Its collection is aimed at shoppers interested in 1990s and Y2K fashion rather than formal vintage clothing from much earlier decades.

The selection may include tops, dresses, denim, skirts, jackets and accessories. Pieces are individually curated, so the shop is easier to browse than a large second-hand store, although prices reflect that selection.

The physical collection can differ from what appears online. Contact the shop through Instagram if you want to try a particular website item during your visit.

Best for: Y2K style and curated casual clothing
Location: Rua Pedro Calmon, 22B, Alcântara

7. Odacieuse — premium second-hand fashion

Odacieuse in Estrela concentrates on premium and higher-end second-hand clothing. This is the place to consider if you prefer timeless pieces, better-known labels and a smaller selection chosen for quality.

The experience is closer to a resale boutique than a conventional thrift shop. It is not the best option for very low prices, but it can be useful if you want a coat, dress, bag or wardrobe staple from a more expensive brand.

Its location also provides a reason to explore Estrela and Campo de Ourique, away from the most crowded part of central Lisbon.

Best for: premium labels and carefully selected second-hand clothing
Location: Calçada da Estrela, 741

Feira da Ladra — Lisbon’s best-known flea market

For a less predictable shopping experience, visit Feira da Ladra at Campo de Santa Clara. Lisbon’s historic flea market takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays, normally from 9:00 to 18:00.

Clothing is only part of the market. Stalls also sell books, records, ceramics, old photographs, household objects, antiques and souvenirs. Quality and prices vary considerably, so inspect everything before buying.

Arrive in the morning for the fullest selection. The market can be combined with the National Pantheon, São Vicente de Fora and a walk through Alfama.

An easy vintage-shopping route in Lisbon

Start in Baixa with A Outra Face da Lua, Ás de Espadas and Paraphernalia. All three are close enough to visit on foot and provide a good comparison of curated vintage styles.

Continue towards Anjos for Retro City and one of the Humana shops around the Almirante Reis area. Allow extra time here if you enjoy searching through larger collections.

DearVains and Odacieuse are better treated as separate stops. Visit DearVains while exploring Alcântara and LX Factory, or combine Odacieuse with Estrela and Campo de Ourique.
