The new store places a strong focus on Northern Portugal’s identity.

Portugal Duty Free has officially unveiled its newly transformed store at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, doubling the size of the retail space and placing a strong focus on Northern Portugal’s identity and heritage.

Spanning two floors, the redesigned Porto Duty Free store introduces a more immersive and premium retail environment, with an expanded offer across all categories. At its core is a celebration of the region, brought to life through a curated selection of local products and experiences.

A key highlight is the dedicated Port Cellar, featuring one of the country’s most extensive assortments of Port wine, with more than 230 varieties across over 25 brands. The space is designed to showcase the craftsmanship and heritage of the region, reinforcing a strong sense of place throughout the store.

Travellers can also explore a wide range of Portuguese specialities, including Aveiro’s ovos moles, traditional preserves, Arcádia chocolates and freshly delivered pastéis de nata. The inclusion of heritage brands such as Claus Porto further strengthens the local narrative.

The beauty category has been significantly enhanced, with the addition of globally recognised names including Jo Malone, Tom Ford, Sol de Janeiro and Kérastase, creating a more diverse and premium offering.

The store also integrates a range of digital and convenience-led features, including a 30-metre LED façade showcasing regional landscapes, alongside self-service checkouts, mobile solutions and Click & Collect services.
