About Forum Viseu

Forum Viseu opened in September 2005 and is owned by CA Património Crescente – Open Real Estate Investment Fund. It is a modern, urban space located in Viseu, in the heart of Portugal, a city with over 2500 years of history!

As the main highlight, Forum Viseu covers a total shopping area of 19.500 m2 and boasts a variety of renowned brands such as: Inditex Group (ZARA, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius, Lefties), Calzedonia Group (Calzedonia and Intimissimi), Mayoral, Rituals and Timberland as well as various services: NOS Cinema, MultiOpticas, Smile Up and Fitness Hut Gym.

In addition, Forum Viseu is committed to environmental responsibility and has been ISO 14001 certified by Lloyd’s. All waste generated in the centre is sent for recycling and measures are taken to minimize the consumption of non-renewable energies. Also as part of its environmental policy, Forum Viseu promotes good practices among suppliers and collaborates in environmental awareness actions at a local and regional level.

The architecture of Forum Viseu also merits highlighting. The complex is composed of two independent urban blocks, connected by a central square. Multi Development invited the renowned Catalan architect, Prof. Joan Busquets, to integrate the design of Forum Viseu in the city centre. The use of granite stone, typical of the region, was carefully considered to better harmonize the project with the urban environment of the old side of Viseu. The redesign completed in 2015 ensured the connection to the upper floors, through escalators, pedestrian stairs and a panoramic lift.

With its privileged location and wide variety of shops and services, Forum Viseu is positioned as a center of notoriety, providing a unique shopping and entertainment experience for those who visit. Visit us and enjoy all we have to offer you!
