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.
Actually, the perfect size for snacking on. I bought a small bag full, hehe.
If you get a chance to go up to the roof, there is a nice view of the nearby river, the bridge and the magnificent statue of Christ.
The food was great and reasonably priced. Their seemed a good mix of locals, national and international tourists on-site to enjoy all those tasty meals too. However, we opted for the Burger Factory for lunch.
The atmosphere was lively with a quirky décor. They offer a wide range of burgers with a good selection of tasty toppings and condiments. We went for the Francesinha, which is a typical dish in north of Portugal. The burger came in a very special, delicious sauce. They were made to perfection as were the french–fries.
At the end of the day, LX factory is a very creative and unique place. I loved it there. Totally worth a visit if you have not experienced one of these converted industrial sights which ooze character and offer some good industrial art photo opportunities!
A must see in the great city of Lisbon.
在里斯本短短的几天里，我就爱上这座迷人的城市！
漫步街头小巷，你会有很多意外的收获哦！其中一个就是里斯本的街头艺术。城市内大大小小的建筑基本上是以彩色，瓷砖和涂鸦为主题！其中内容丰富多彩，有国家历史或是流行文化等题材，以及各种各样充满想象力的创作！
LX工厂是一个很酷的地方。它位于里斯本市中心的外围，搭乘15号电车非常方便。
这里是工业时代的老纺织工厂改造成的创意园区，为我留下了深刻的印象。经过改造，现在这里布满了各种各样的商店，从艺术，书籍，古董，葡萄牙当地纪念品，咖啡馆和餐馆等等，所有你需要的东西都可以在这里找到，呵呵。
我们来到LX工厂的时候，正好碰巧是这里周日的热闹市集。市集上销售着各类商品，当地出产的新鲜水果，蔬菜和奶酪尤其受欢迎！
一个小有机农场的摊位吸引了我，好多水灵灵的西红柿，大小颜色不一，起码有十多个品种。摊主非常友善，拿起几个小番茄让我试吃。浅绿色葡萄形状的西红柿是我最爱，它们呈椭圆形，虽小但味道特别清甜。我惹不住买了一小包当零食吃，哈哈。
还有很多艺术和手工艺品摊位，大家看图片吧，我就不一一细说了。
如果你有机会上屋顶，还可以瞭望附近的河流，桥梁和宏伟的基督雕像，风景挺美的。
在LX工厂，大家除了尽情购物，还能满足饮食乐趣哦。这里不但有葡萄牙当地菜式还有各种国际美食可供大家选择。我们来到了汉堡工厂吃午餐。
汉堡工厂门面不大，但内部装饰奇特，气氛也相当活跃。他们家主打当然是一系列的汉堡包以及各种配料的选择。我们店了来自葡萄牙北部的一个典型佳肴Francesinha汉堡。厚厚的肉馅配上秘方酱汁，非常美味，连薯条也酥脆可口，太享受了！
LX工厂从昔日的旧纺纱厂到如今充满想象力的创意空间，吸引了许多时尚人士，创作者，自由旅行者甚至涂鸦艺术家等等。这里是一个非常独特的地方，很值得一游。来里斯本的朋友们， 不要错过哦！

We love Lisbon! The last time we were around, we saw a similiar art work (a racoon, like the bee you photographed), so we're pretty sure it was from the same artist :)
