About
Mexerica is a charming children's boutique located on Calçada do Combro, one of Lisbon's most evocative hillside streets connecting the vibrant Chiado and Bairro Alto neighborhoods. With a 4.8 Google rating, it ranks among the best-loved children's shops in the city.
The shop specializes in products for babies, toddlers, and young children — expect a thoughtfully curated selection of toys, clothing, and accessories that leans toward quality and character over mass-market appeal. The kind of shop where parents pick up something genuinely special.
The location is as much a draw as the shop itself. Calçada do Combro is a picturesque stepped street that embodies everything charming about Lisbon, and a visit to Mexerica fits naturally into an afternoon spent exploring the Chiado district. After shopping, families can walk down to the waterfront and the Time Out Market at Mercado de Ribeira, or head up into Bairro Alto for dinner.
Mexerica is open seven days a week with a midday break, making afternoon visits the natural timing after lunch. For families who want to bring home something meaningful for their youngest — or who are looking for a special Portuguese toy or gift — this boutique is well worth seeking out.
