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.

Saturdays are the perfect days to visit Chiado and look for a rare or second-hand book calmly exhibited on the booksellers’ stalls all day long. From 10 am to 5 pm, a bit of Portuguese history can be found here, from comic books to recent releases, illustrated postcards and special editions.

Lovely little cafe with beautiful decor. Excellent pastries and friendly atmosphere.

Off-the-beaten-path, just outside Lisbon. The best seafood! Humble and local atmosphere. Check the opening times first + Sr. Domingos doesn't open when his football team plays!

Unique interiors. You can enjoy the bar, the food and other events.
