We are traveling with a group of colleagues to Lisbon for a conference. We live in the center, in the hotel Azoresh. Virtually no free time. Heard that in Lisbon there is a large multi-story Anglo-Spanish shop and there is very convenient shopping, tax-free decorations and so on. That is, everything is very convenient for tourists. Tell me how to find it, opening hours. What do I need to do for freeze fees and do they immediately return the money?

Answer Ekaterina Belyaeva
Yes, you are right, there is such a center - ElCorte Engles. Most European brands are represented here, and it is really very profitable and convenient to make purchases, especially in terms of saving time and effort.

Before it from your hotel in a straight line 5-10 minutes to the south.

You can get a discount card first 10%, she works for the whole day in all stores of this hypermarket. Next, when you first buy you are given a special form with a barcode on which you make purchases, but do not take them with you and do not carry around the store, but calmly choose and relax. The receipt and payment of the goods is carried out in the cash department

To apply for TaxFree, you will need a foreign passport and a master or visa credit card number (tax refund will be applied to it). But if you plan to make purchases not immediately, but within a few days, then each time you need to get a discount card, and TaxFree is better for all purchases on the last day of visiting the shopping center. All the design can take time, I advise you to lay 30-40 minutes. The store's opening hours are 10-22 every day.

Money is returned to your bank card. Things will need to be presented at the request of the customs officer at the airport for the appropriate mark on the texture of the store. After receiving the mark of the customs you can seal the documents in an envelope (it is attached to the checks) and put it in a special mailbox. Within a few weeks, the money will be returned to your account.
