This place is one of my favourite secret spots in Lisbon. It is famous for its stunning formal gardens and 17th and 18th century decorative tiles with some of the country's finest, depicting hunting, battles, and religious scenes, statuary and fountains. So let's keep it as a secret between us.

Renovar a Mouraria is a non-profit public benefit organization created to revitalize the Mouraria neighborhood, where more than 50 nationalities coexist, where the fado was born, and where countless Portuguese traditions still manifest themselves in everyday life...

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.

In the very touristic Graça area, there is this heaven place, hidden from tourists. This café belongs to the theater da Garagem. It has an amazing view, the atmosphere is peaceful and with a lot of light. They don't have wifi if you plan to work there though..
