Found My Favorite Bookstore in Lisbon – Ler Devagar! 📚✨
When the Rain Gods Targeted Me… But I Found Heaven Anyway! 🌧️😅 From the moment I landed in Lisbon, the rain started pouring – and my weather app confirmed it: three solid days of downpour ☔. Typical, right? But little did I know, this soggy start would lead me to the coziest bookstore escape 💖. FX Factory’s Hidden Gem – Ler Devagar! 📖 Wandering through Lisbon’s hilly streets (so similar to Chongqing’s maze-like alleys!) 🏙️, I stumbled upon Ler Devagar at FX Factory. Book lover’s dream come true! 🎉 Grabbed a random book – turns out it was "Her Side of the Story" by an Italian-Cuban author. Instantly hooked 😍. Second-Floor Paradise – Reading with a View! 🪟📖 Headed upstairs, found a window nook, leaned against the wall, and got lost in the pages. The ambiance? Pure magic ✨ Industrial-chic vibes, vinyl records and posters for sale, and just enough quirky decor to make you feel at home 🏠. No Fancy Seats, But Who Needs Them? 😌 Limited seating, but that’s the charm – people sit anywhere, from floors to windowsills, making the space feel alive 🌿. No pretentiousness, just pure bookish bliss 🤓. When the Book Costs More Than Your Flight… 💸😱 At checkout, I joked to my friend: "This book’s pricier than my plane ticket (€25)!" 🤣 She laughed, but I meant it – this moment was priceless 💎. Supporting local bookstores is how I fall in love with cities 🏙️❤️. The Lisbon Vibe – Slow, Literary, and Beautiful 🌆☕ Not about rushing to churches or tourist spots – just sitting in a bookstore, watching people take photos and sip coffee ☕📸. That’s the real Lisbon experience ✨. #QuietReadingSpots #IndieBookstores #Lisbon #LisbonTravel #Portugal #SlowTravel
