Livraria Lello is one of the most visited attractions in Porto, and certainly one of the most famous bookstores in the world.
The opening of the Lello bookstore in the 20th century was the highlight of Porto's cultural life.
Its interior, with many old details, can create an environment capable of transporting us a century ago. The staircase is one of the main attractions, but also has stained-glass in the ceiling, shelves and pillars where are carved great names of Portuguese literature.
This neo-Gothic ambiance matches the universe described by the English writer, J.K. Rowling.
