Livraria Lello

Livraria Lello is located in Porto, Portugal, with a history dating back to 1881. It is one of the oldest bookstores in Portugal and was named the third best bookstore in the world by Lonely Planet in 2011.

Since its opening in 1881, Livraria Lello has captivated numerous visitors with its stunning and intricate interior design, becoming a source of pride for the people of Porto. Every customer who steps into the bookstore is deeply enchanted and awestruck by its beauty, as it is a fusion of Art Nouveau and Gothic Revival styles. At the center of the bookstore stands a magnificent wooden carved staircase that leads all the way to the rooftop, where readers can gaze up at the sky through the colorful stained-glass skylight in a full 360-degree view. The shelves surrounding the staircase are filled with a wide variety of quality books, including both English and Portuguese titles. Upstairs, there is also a small café where you can choose a good book, immerse yourself in the cultural environment and artistic atmosphere, and momentarily forget the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
