Oh, Lisbon, you are such a happy place! I can’t get enough of your energy, beautiful light, good food and lovely people! Let me introduce you to some of my favourite things to do in the Portuguese capital.
Do some vintage shopping at a flea market:
You might discover unexpected treasures at Lisbon’s fantastic flea markets. The Feira da Ladra each Tuesday and Saturday is truly a gem. Get up early and be there right when it opens best.
Feel like royalty at Embeixada:
This is probably the most impressive concept store you’ve ever seen, located in an old palace. You will discover shops brands dedicated to brands with Portuguese origins. If you feel like having a drink: Gin Lovers is at your service in the garden.
Be artsy at LX Factory:
What Camden is for London, LX Factory is for Lisbon! Have a stroll through the shops and studios in the area of an old textile fabric. There is a lot of good food right here too. Best come on a Sunday, because there is a maker and vintage market too.
Have an Asian Fusion dinner at Boa Bao:
You have come to Portugal for Portuguese food, but I promise that the best spring rolls, dumplings and steamed eggplants will not disappoint you. As the menu says: Oh darling, let’s be adventurous!
Have a drink at Lisbon’s most unusual bar:
Pavilhão Chinês feels almost like a museum, but it’s a bar. The decor of various antique collectables, bric-a-brac and random finds is genuinely unique and makes you feel like being in a movie.
Discover the best Portuguese Products:
La Vida Portuguesa has several shops in the city and offers an extraordinary selection of the most beautiful things manufactured in Portugal.
