Alameda Shopping opened in May 2005 and is part of a project which brings together a residential complex and a hotel. The project was developed as part of the urban regeneration of the Antas area. Alameda Shopping hosts around 100 shops distributed over 5 floors and 38.427 square metres. It features a Continente hypermarket and leading brands such as Zara, Massimo Dutti, Pepco, Fnac, Worten, Sportzone and Bertrand, as well as a seven-screen NOS cinema and a variety of leisure activities for the whole family. There is a covered car park with around 1700 spaces which is free of charge to customers. Alameda Shopping is conveniently located in the city of Porto next to the Estádio do Dragão and the VCI (the Porto ring road), and it is also only 3km from Porto Campanhã train station and 15km from Porto airport. Alameda Shopping is a fantastic shopping and leisure destination for the whole family. The project’s architecture has already invited international recognition for Alameda Shopping, and in 2007 the shopping centre was awarded the accolade of Best Shopping Center in the World by the ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers).
