Exploring The Gorgeous City of Lisboa.
A few days in Lisbon was all I needed to fall in love with this charming city!
Wander down the streets of Lisbon and you will find many cool little surprises! One of these being discovering Lisbon’s street art. The buildings within the city are intrinsically themed with colour, tiles and graffiti! The are multifaceted, symbolising the country’s history, pop culture as well as some imaginative abstracts.
A cool venue that I cannot recommend highly enough is the LX factory.
LX factory is a re-developed industrial complex of buildings, situated slightly outside of the centre of Lisbon. Just a short tram ride away on the Number 15.
I am very impressed with the way this space was re-purposed from an old factory into this very edgy, cool area. The converted spaces are now home to a variety of shops ranging from art, books, vintage items, local Portuguese souvenirs, cafes and restaurants, etc.
Almost everything you need in one convenient place!
I went there around noon on Sunday and the market was in full swing with stalls selling all types of merchandise.
Of course, the most popular being the locally produced fruits, vegetables and cheese.
A small organic farming stall attracted my attention. The owner was very friendly, offering for me to try their various tomatoes on sale. The slightly green coloured grape-shaped tomatoes were my favourite. They are in oval shape, quite small but extra sweet in flavour.
