Second-hand stores are commercial establishments that sell used products, offering a sustainable alternative for people looking to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry and other areas.
These stores allow you to buy used items such as clothes, accessories, furniture and electronic equipment at more affordable prices compared to new products.
What’s more, by buying second-hand products, you’re contributing to the circular economy and reducing waste.
In times of crisis, it is often in these second-hand stores and associations that the best deals are found, with real bargains on anything and everything.
Keep an eye out for the names of these second-hand stores!
Feira da Ladra
It’s not a store in the true sense of the word, but there’s no doubt that it’ s one of the places where you can find the best bargains, even if you can’t do it every day: only on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
And you can also find furniture at the Feira da Ladra, although you probably won’t find beds, closets or sofas, but tables and chairs and decorative objects you certainly will.
Address: Campo de Santa Clara
Opening hours: Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9am to 6pm
Vintage Corner
This is perhaps the best-known place in Lisbon for selling stylish, high-quality second-hand furniture .
It ‘s located in Prior Velho, in a three-storey building covering 9,000 square meters.
Here you’ll find furniture from the 1920s to the 1970s, lamps, lighting, industrial and commercial objects, paintings, signs, toys, sofas, sideboards, chests of drawers, shelves, among many other decorative pieces that will certainly look good in that corner of your home.

Remar Association – Charity stores
Don’t throw anything away. We collect everything that can be used.”
This is the motto of Remar stores, which is why you can find everything here.
They collect, recover and put back on sale. You’ll find a bit of everything: clothes, appliances, decoration, furniture, books and shoes.
Address: There are several stores throughout the city
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, from 9am to 7pm; Saturdays from 9am to 3pm

Address: there are four stores in Lisbon
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm
Emáus Caneças
It’s a bit further away, but we guarantee it’ ll be worth it. It’s a giant warehouse, messy and full of stuff.
Be prepared for the fact that you won’t be able to see everything, because there really are so many things! Go with a lot of patience and a desire to explore old furniture.
And now there’s a new pop-up store, Emaus in Arroios, at Rua Carlos Mardel 23, opposite Pingo Doce, which, although it’s smaller, may well have what you’re looking for.
Address: Estrada Lugar D’Além 16 (Caneças); Rua Carlos Mardel 23 (Arroios)
Opening hours: Tuesday to Friday, from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.;Saturdays, from 10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Vintage World Fair
It’s not really a store, it’s a warehouse but with closed doors.
In this case, it’ s best to check out the online catalog, ask for more information and make an appointment. Only then will you be able to see all the items (and there are many) they sell.
Make your request to visit Feira do Mundo by emailing feiradomundo@feiradomundo.com from Monday to Sunday, between 9am and 10pm.
Boudoir Vintage Boutique
It’s on Avenida Almirante Reis, and although it’s mainly a second-hand clothes store, you’ll also find various objects and accessories, such as books and decorative pieces.
See the mugs with fruit on them in the photo below? I grew up in my parents’ house with some of these pieces, so the nostalgia brought me to tears.
Address: Avenida Almirante Reis 238A
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, from 1pm to 7pm
Klast Home
This store specializes in reconditioned furniture with minor aesthetic defects, but with excellent value for money for those looking for sustainability.
The difference between reconditioned and second-hand products is that the former don’t come from other homes, although they have already been used, especially in photo shoots, so they can’t be sold as new.
Address: online only
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
IKEA – Circular Area
This service resells used or discontinued IKEA furniture and is one of the most practical solutions for finding modern second-hand pieces with a quality guarantee.
The idea is to reserve your favorite furniture in the online store and then collect it from the IKEA store in Loures.
Address: online only
Hours: every day
Velharias Estefânia LX
This vintage store is right in the middle of Avenidas Novas and presents itself as a place dedicated to buying and selling vintage objects.
Address: Rua da Estefânia 33B
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 7.30 p.m.
In addition to these second-hand stores, it’ s always best to keep an eye out for garbage in the street! There are many people who put good furniture on the sidewalks to be picked up. If you’re more attentive, you’ re sure to find some great relics.
