beautiful collection from a couple of interior designers 

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.

Flea Market. Tuesdays and Saturdays.

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.

On the Founder's Colletion building you can travel from Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Islamic to the Far East art and to the eighteenth-century French decorative arts. On the Modern Collection building some of the most important Portuguese modern artists from the 20th century. The library is perfect spot to study and the garden is very beautiful.
