Book from the Livraria Lello Edition
Guided tour
Nice building and interior staircase/decor. However, long queues to get in and fairly small and very crowded once you eventually get in. Would only recommend to a bookworm who is happy to pay over the odds for a book. Bonus however, Clergios church and tower are very close and worth a visit.
Step into the enchanting world of Livraria Lello, a bookshop that has captivated visitors since 1906. This architectural gem, designed by engineer Francisco Xavier Esteves, is a treasure trove of unique details that blend seamlessly with modern artistic installations and exhibitions.
As you explore the space, you'll discover why it is considered one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world. The building's intricate features showcase the craftsmanship of the early 20th century, while contemporary art displays highlight the ongoing commitment to celebrating literature and its creators.
Livraria Lello offers more than just books; it's an immersive experience that honours the written word and those who bring it to life. Whether you're a book lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply curious, this Porto landmark promises a memorable visit that bridges past and present.
