"This enormous bookstore is worth a visit if in LXFACTORY. The store has a cute café where you can sit and dive into a book while sipping on a glass of rosé. You can also work from there and take a meeting - the wifi is great, the coffee is black and it is nice and quiet. Atm there is an interactive installation and there is always something going on in the space. You will find new and old books, music of all kinds and childrens' fold out books." - Relax, we are the good guys

Ler Devagar is one of the most unique and atmospheric bookstores you can visit in Lisbon. Set inside a converted industrial space, the towering bookshelves, art installations, and quiet mezzanine levels create a truly inspiring environment. It’s the kind of place where you can wander slowly, discover unexpected titles, and enjoy the creative atmosphere. The café inside makes it easy to sit down and spend some time reading or just taking in the surroundings. A must-visit spot inside LX Factory, especially for book lovers and anyone who appreciates thoughtful, artistic spaces.

Such a great-looking setup. This store appeals from the moment you enter it. It has a wonderful and unique layout, with a good variety of books. There’s some sections of English books (both new and classics) that you can spot when you browse the tables and shelves.

Very unique experience in the heart of LX factory. Great collection of English, french, Portugese, spanish titles. The decor of the place is equal parts retro and neo-garage fusion. Aside from books they also have a surprisingly large collection of vinyl records and vintage DVDs as well, the tarantino fan in me loved the pulp fiction availability. They're also stocked with other memorabilia. Still didn't get "an anthology of Portugese short stories" here after missing that in Liveria lello in Porto. So yea, it didn't solve that problem tragically.

Amazing bookshop with a very big selection of books, including English titles. There are also vinyls and DVDs. The decoration is beautiful and full of character, and there’s a small cafe inside.

Despite it looking very nice, the store has a clad agenda in what books it brings to the front. Specifically, the books put on its cashier are advocating for hate against Israel (interesting it didn’t cover any other conflicts in the world, like the ones in Somalia, Eritrea, Armenia, and the killings of thousands of protestors in Iran just last week) Specifically the one book it chose to highlight was written by an individual who publicly joined the PFLP, which is a sanctioned organization announced as a terrorist group by the EU, US and other countries. I noticed this only after completing my purchase, and respectfully asked for a refund immediately, and was denied for it not being “store policy” to offer refunds. Only after insisting and getting the manager involved was I granted my refund. If you like books, it’s a good store, but if you care about agenda, be mindful of theirs..

We stumbled into this bookstore to escape the rain, and it turned out to be one of the best surprises! The selection of books is fantastic, with something for everyone, and the prices are very reasonable. What makes it even better is that it’s not just books—they also have a great collection of art and records. The space is cozy and inviting, and we could’ve easily spent hours exploring everything. Whether you're a book lover, art enthusiast, or music fan, this place is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!

Iconic and very cool book store in the vibrant and trendy LX Factory. It offers multi-lingual offerings, and has a small section selling vinyl upstairs. It’s an impressive space, dominated by the original printing press being preserved above.

Truly amazing book store, even if you don’t speak portugese you’ll find something I would even go as far as saying even if you dont like books you will enjoy this place!

When you get to the LX factory, there is a lot to look at. But if you can, stop by this really cool bookshop with floor to ceiling shelves of books, and their jazz music section on the second floor. Very cool vibes!

Ler Devagar is special and I don't know how to completely explain it. It's located in the LX Factory, which is a cool area to hang out in to begin with, and there's just something about this bookstore that is completely charming. My eyes widened and I smiled the moment I walked in. The atmosphere and the way that the books just seemed to go on forever woke up the curious child in me and made me want to get lost for hours... exploring every shelf... every hidden corner... in order to find out what magical stories waited for me. It is a delightful place. I had been looking for something to take home with me from my visit to Lisbon, a souvenir, and it was here I found an adult coloring book of tile patterns which was just the perfect thing. When I find myself in the area next, and I'm sure I will eventually... I will definitely be back to hunt for another treasure.

Worth checking out to see the magnitude of books they carry. It's an old paper mill turned bookstore. I liked taking pictures inside and staring at all the books but didn't need to buy one at the time.
