Three Lamps District

Located away from the main touristy shopping areas, Three Lamps District is the place to be if you're looking for a somewhat more authentic experience of shopping where the locals do. The area is basically a street market packed with stores, private vendors and food stalls.

Shopping

Due to its tax free status, shopping is a delight in Macau with prices considerably lower than the USA, Europe and other Asian centers. Thanks to recent developments, you can find designer shopping centers though there are plenty of exotic Asian markets and traditional shops selling Chinese medicines and Portuguese antiques. Other things to shop for including electronics, jewelry, fabric, porcelain and wine. Prices vary according to quality so be wary of imitations. Avenida Almeira Ribeiro is the main commercial center and has many designer boutiques.
