Souvenir shopping is part of every traveler\u2019s routine but it doesn\u2019t have to be that tedious task on the way to the boarding gate.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why take home a snow globe or a fridge magnet when you can buy the most authentic and original Lisbon souvenirs? Quite honestly, anything can be a souvenir as long as it reminds you of the destination you visited. But we at Devour Lisbon narrowed down the list to the four souvenirs we believe represent the essence of the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Canned Fish<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A product of the early 20th-century industrial era, canned fish<\/a> still is today one of the most affordable foods. Canned tuna, for example, goes great with a salad in the summer and students use it for their budget-friendly signature dish massa de atum<\/em> (tuna and pasta). Mackerel, tuna, and sardines<\/a> are the most common fish preserved in a variety of sauces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The colorful cans and the varieties of fish inside them are one of the most authentic Lisbon souvenirs you can buy. They\u2019ve become so popular as a souvenir that stores are selling only canned fish in the city center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where to buy it:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
• Supermarkets – any supermarket or grocery store has a canned fish section. It\u2019s the most affordable option, but the range of sauces will be smaller.<\/li>\r\n
• Conserveira de Lisboa<\/a> – founded in 1930 it\u2019s one of the historic shops of Lisbon, specialized since then in selling canned fish.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
