You can't go to Lisbon and not try pastel de nata and this was probably the best place we found to get your mitts on the delicious egg pastries. Grab a couple with a cup of coffee. Happy days.

Small venue with the best concerts in town.

It´s the kind of place you automatically feel like you take a break from the city for a coffee or a light meal. The trendy Chiado area is just around the corner.

One of my favourite things to do on my travels is finding a good bookshop. Ler Devagar (meaning ' read slowly' in English) did not disappoint. Built inside an old printing factory you can find this bookshop in the trendy LX factory in Alcântara. Books fill the walls from floor to ceiling and in the middle of the shop is a large flying bicycle. Need I say more.

We found this beautiful store by accident while wandering around hilly Lisbon in the sunshine. A beautiful menagerie of vintage finds, curated designers, accessories and trinkets. Housed in a high-ceilinged, big windowed architectural treat. My perfect home (shop wise). I left with a Parisian summer dress in peacock tones, and a big smile. The staff were helpful and lovely, and coincidentally I had something in common with the gorgeous owner. We shared stories of graphic design and Leeds Art College—it really is a small world.
