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.

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.

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

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.

interesting and exciting art exhibitions
