Lisbon City Guide | Things to Do for Design Lovers
This trip to Portugal was very long-awaited. It met all our expectations and I think that in Portugal everyone will find what he likes to enjoy.
Our travel priorities are to see the local nature, not to rush anywhere and feel the city vibe, to understand how the locals live, and to see the modern part of the city, including modern architecture, brands, cafes, and galleries. In this blog post, I want to offer a list of the best places to visit in Lisbon for those who love good design and appreciate the beauty in the details.

SANTA CLARA 1728
Lisbon is a special city, filled with beautiful architecture, art, and history. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited, and the Santa Clara hotel was one of my favorite parts about it. It was one of the most beautiful hotels we've ever visited, and I recommend staying here to anyone who wants a taste of what Portugal has to offer. Read more about our stay at Santa Clara.

LISBOAS APARTMENTS
After five years of extensive renovation and modernization, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm’s National Museum of Fine Arts, finally re-opened on October 13, 2018, offering visitors an enhanced experience underpinned by its mission to make art and design as accessible as possible. The same vision has been the driving force behind the museum’s new 300-seat restaurant and café which has taken over three impressive ground-floor galleries previously closed to the public.

Shopping
Lisbon guide for design lovers.
Lisbon has a lot of modern, conteporary brands with their pop-up stores that are worth a visit. Here are some of my favorites ones:
OJO GALLERY
Created by Marie de Carvalho, OJO Gallery aims to be the expression of the artist's eye in symbiosis with the eye of the one who falls in love with a particular piece - a story told through several exhibitions inspired by Portuguese regions that matter most to Mary. This is only possible thanks to the collaboration of craftsmen, young artists, and Portuguese or foreign designers who create unique pieces exclusively for the gallery.

Inexpressible impressions. The feeling that you are really at the end of the world! Seeing the Atlantic from the westernmost point of the continent is an event for me.

Praia De Ursa
Amazing beach! I recommend to absolutely everyone to go there. The road to it is winding and dangerous, you need to be careful during the descent, but in the end, it will be worth it an unforgettable experience and atmosphere!
