The "Carmo Archaeological Museum", built at an old church that barely survived the 1755 earthquake, enchants me every time I visit. Open-air concerts, too!

"Marvila & Beato" are two neighborhoods in Lisbon going through beautiful and well-thought out gentrification which when done bad has spoilt other places.

Livraria Ler Devagar

Industrial bookstore

"Livraria Ler Devagar" Lisbon is inside a giant factory that was once abandoned. What I love about the bookstore/cafe? The 'Gepeto meets industrial' vibe.

Loja Açores

Atlantic culture in Lisbon

"Loja Açores" Lisbon is the closest you can get to Azores islands without leaving the city. I love having their 'Bolo Lêvedo' for breakfast...
