A
little
hidden
gem
in
plain
sight.
It
has
a
small
storefront
on
Praca
da
Figueira,
where
they
sell
all
sorts
of
collectibles
and
doll
accessories,
and
it's
a
5th
generation
Portuguese
family
owned
business.
The
most
interesting
part
is
the
doll
hospital/museum
itself,
which
you
get
to
visit
for
3
euros
pp.
It
takes
about
30
minutes,
where
they
explain
about
the
doll
repair
process
and
materials
used
and
also
show
you
the
dolls
that
are
"up
for
surgery"
plus
you
get
to
see
the
huge
assortment
of
old
collectible
dolls
from
several
parts
of
Europe
(mostly
from
Portugal,
Germany,
Spain
and
a
few
ethnic
ones),
and
some
from
the
US.
This
might
very
well
be
the
last
repair
shop
of
it's
kind.
Even
though
I
don't
particularly
like
dolls,
the
stories
and
the
beautiful
displays
were
really
interesting
for
me
and
my
family.
The
location
of
the
"doll
hospital"
itself,
on
the
upper
level
of
the
store
and
within
an
apartment
building,
give
this
place
a
very
particular
charm.
Don't
expect
a
fancy
location/tour,
it
is
more
like
the
store
owners
letting
people
in
on
what
the
particulars
of
their
unique
business.
BTW,
our
tour
was
in
Portuguese,
so
I
don't
know
if
they
do
it
in
other
languages.
Very
nice
experience
and
something
different
to
do
while
in
Lisbon!!!
