🇵🇹 Most Photogenic Bookstore @ Livraria Lello, Porto

Livraria Lello (Lello Bookstore) in Porto, Portugal is a historic bookstore founded in 1906 by the brothers José and António Lello. The bookstore's enchanting atmosphere, including the prominent red staircase, is said to have influenced the description of Hogwarts' magical library in Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling who used to live in Porto. Even if you're not a fan of Harry Potter series, this cultural and architectural gem is still worth a visit. The bookstore charges an admission fee of 5 euros which can be used to offset the purchase of any books. Tickets can be booked online or bought on-site. The bookstore is usually quite crowded so it's better to visit during off peak period. 📍 Rua das Carmelitas 144, 4050-161 Porto, Portugal #solotravel #porto #portugal #livraria #lello #landmark #historic #bookstore #harrypotter #jkrowling #tripblazers #europe
