Lisbon, Portugal, is getting fancier every month......

Lisbon’s metamorphosis comes vividly to life at LX Factory, a disused manufacturing complex housing young architecture firms, Internet start-ups, boutiques and cozy cafes.

The spot, situated almost under the Lisbon 25th April Bridge, is a group of abandoned 19th century warehouses and factories, now Lisbon's biggest hub of creativity, an "island" in the center of the city for companies related to art, fashion, advertising, and design.

Every space has an industrial look, attracting curious crowds to regular events like "Open Day," with exhibitions, music, and other activities throughout the day.
Every Sunday there's an open-air market of a variety of products, from second-hand articles to original crafts.
A hangarlike space is filled with enormous old printing machines, where the bookshop, for instance, is packed from floor to soaring ceiling with new and used books (many in English) on everything from Madeira architecture to Jack the Ripper.
