Fora

Portugal’s best-known eyewear brand.

Another story of someone discovering that something in Portugal wasn’t available in decent quality — in this case, glasses. Fora changed that about ten years ago and now offers a wide range, especially sunglasses. By now, they are also a full-fledged optician, likely catering to many customers who are just visiting and need their lenses quickly. There are always some discontinued models available at a discount, but otherwise, the prices start at around 140 euros. Flagship store in Chiado, branches in Baixa and Campo de Ourique.
