                <description><![CDATA[I am one of the old-fashioned music lovers, who loves to hang around in record stores. V-records stocks vinyl, from Sixties funk to modern electronica. Find out here what's on in Lisbon - by carefully examining flyers and quizzing discerning staff. Shop is run by a local DJ. Monday to Saturday 1pm-midnight.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's a chain of shops selling books, CDs, software, computers and other stuff. They also do photo processing, ticket sales for concerts and events, hold photo/art exhibitions, and have a juice bar.<br><br>I think it's French but you'll see them in the big shopping areas in Lisbon. Open until late. It's a sort of modern-funky Ikea.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A modern(ish) shopping centre that looks like it's straight out of Blade Runner. It's black inside, grimey, very 'low rent' and people carry giant sacks of stuff about.<br><br>Great for exotic fruit and African fabrics and the like. It's not a usual tourist destination.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A trip back in time: a small shop where two (very) old ladies spend the day packing cans with vintage 1950s labels. What´s inside? Almost anything you can figure out from the sea, with sauces ranging from mild oils to Thai-hot spicy stuff. A treasure.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Beyond Estrela lies the smart, chic and self-contained district of Campo de Ourique: a grid of tree-lined streets with an almost Parisian feel, with plenty of small shops, cafes and a fresh produce market. Off the beaten track, but a pleasant (and mercifully flat) area for a stroll. South-west of here is the huge Prazeres ('Pleasures') cemetery, which has great views across the Ponte 25 de Abril.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This shop on the edge of the Baixa, near the Sé, sells an excellent range of ceramics, linen, figurines etc from all over Portugal. The hand-painted clay figures from the north are delightful. Not especially cheap, but probably the best place in Lisbon to buy well-chosen handicrafts.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Forget hands-on interactive high-tech experiences, this is a museum like they don't make them anymore. A charming and dusty old collection of fossils, rocks, prehistoric tools, etc, it feels like no-one but you has been here for years, which is possibly true. Watch out you don't trip over a dinosaur's tail.<br><br>This is a lovely, quiet corner of Lisbon to walk around, between São Bento and Bairro Alto. Ratton, a small gallery/shop selling hand-painted tiles by contemporary artists, including local hero Paula Rego, is at Rua Academia das Ciências 2.]]></description>
