Born in Portugal to an Angolan family, DJ and producer Vanyfox now splits his time between Lisbon and Paris.

The 22-year-old artist stitches together batida, kuduro and Afrobeat in his work, and has seen his music released via labels such as Enchufada, Boukan Records and Moonshine. Most recently, he put his own spin on Karen Nyame KG's single 

As someone who frequently makes the trip between two major cities, we tapped the producer for some advice on where to go in Lisbon. To explore the cultural underbelly of the Portuguese city, hit up Vanyfox's recommendations below, which cover sportswear shops, restaurants and music venues.

Antù is a community of restaurants, bars, agencies, artists, vintage dealers, fashion designers, digital creators and cultural producers with a gastro bar, art gallery, clothing store and many musical events. Antù offers a new food and beverage experience in spaces that breathe culture and creativity. If you are an artist, a lover of fashion and food, this is the right place to be cozy and jiggy and gain a new experience. You can chill with your friends and have a great time.

A fresh space in Lisbon’s chiado area, the heart of Lisbon. Latte is a new project in the Portuguese market, introducing new brands in streetwear and sportswear.

You don’t know where to buy fresh new sneakers? Komum offers a connecting hub for sneakers and Portuguese culture. Everything you need you can find at Komum, easy. Retro Nike Jordan and Dunk to Yeezy and ACG silhouettes. Local streetwear and music in the heart of Lisbon.

You can't go to Lisbon and not go to Solar das Carnes. Bifes na frigideira is the best dish of the restaurant, became my favourite. Great music and excellent food.

Another favourite spot. You can't leave Lisbon without showing your dance moves at Musicbox. This is a house for me and became my favourite spot. You can and you will find the best DJs and artists. They always have a good vibe and good music.

Like views of the city? Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara is my favourite in Lisbon. Best place to put your mind right, sometimes I go there to search for inspiration to make music.
