It was in the distant year of 1912 that the centenary Livraria Académica, located at Rua Martires da Liberdade, opened its doors. Specializing in Portuguese-language authors, her wide selection covers a number of other important topics such as science, technical books and history. With prices for various possibilities, the Livraria Académica is a landmark in the city, receiving for many decades, always with the knowledge only possible by years of experience, a legion of lovers of literature, who will be lost in this historic space and will find inevitably, among their vast offerings, some book that appeals to them, whether they are rarities or options at very inviting prices.

In this shop, the main vocation is to disclose the work of small creators, essentially Portuguese. Their mentors, a couple who loves to “build dreams”, have tried to pull into this space those who, like them, share the same vision. The project is inserted in a multifunctional space of interaction between that which the creators like and the taste of other people who, like them, appreciate “quality, design, simplicity, creativity”. Besides its brands, 100% Portugal and Mum Who Loves to Sew, you can find other authors who are environmentally conscious and make handmade pieces. There is a great bet on illustration, but also on ceramics, author costume jewellery, and decoration, among others.
