The principal activities in this region are tied to the service sector, with commerce and agriculture also representing an important part of the economy. In particular [[viticulture]], since the municipality (and other municipalities in the region) have been designated as part of the ''Denominação de Origem Controlada'' (DOC), a control used to classify wine products as a locally produced product of origin, for national and international marketing.

Lamego has a large shopping centre, with approximately 30 main shops, three malls of medium-size and several small traditional shops. Industrial activities are concentrated in the industrial zone in the parish of Várzea de Abrunhais. Local textiles are also promoted but tend to be small-scale production runs, with few medium- to large-companies involved in mass-production. The Portuguese Army's [[Special Operations Troops Centre|Special Operations]] regiment is also based in Lamego.<ref name="CTOE">{{cite web|url= https://www.exercito.pt/pt/quem-somos/organizacao/ceme/cft/brigrr/ctoe|title=Centro de Tropas de Operações Especiais |access-date=20 May 2025|publisher=Exército Português}}</ref> 

The tourist sector is primarily associated with the monuments and religious buildings, and has been a growing part of the local economy. The extension of the A24 motorway has been important in attracting more visitors and businesses to the region.
