You will go. You will wait in line (even in low tourist season). You will marvel at the beauty. You will struggle to take a photo past the other tourists. You will not find a good book in English.
As both a book and Harry Potter fan, this place was absolutely magical for me. One of the most gorgeous bookshops I have ever seen! 3 euro fee to get in though, and be prepared for crowds.
Beautiful but a bit annoying. Having to pay €3 to go inside is a bit absurd. But if you go, I recommend buying the ticket one day and going there right before you open. You'll go in before everyone
Wood and books makes you feel like a fairy tale. But very touristic, does not let you feel the real athmosphere. You can claim back entrance fee if you buy a book.
Otro lugar precioso devastado por la masificación turística. Lo que un día debió ser un templo dedicado a la literatura hoy es flashes, agobios y ruido. En fotos preciosa, en persona decepcionante.
Livraria Lello e Irmão, una de las librerías mas bonitas del mundo, 3€ entrada, permiten llevar mascotas siempre a que las lleves en el colo👌👋🙈🙈😂🙌🐶 #brosevadevacaciones #harrypotter #porto
1869. Terceira melhor livraria do mundo segundo o guia Lonely Planet, para o ano de 2011. Fachada com elementos de estilo neogótico. Uma das primeiras construções de cimento armado da cidade.
Livraria mais famosa de Porto. Em razão das férias de julho é preciso pegar fila, mas não demora muito. Valor da entrada €5,00 que dá direito a desconto na compra de livros. Vale a visita.
It’s famous with good reason. Apart from the Harry Potter craze, ti’s wonderful to see and worth the €5 ticket. Pick up a book and the entrance fee is deducted from the price!
It's a touristic hook. Absolute madness. Don't let anyone trick you into going there and waiting in a long-long line. Go get a good old glass of port instead.
Вход по ваучеру за 3€. Его потом можно потратить на книгу. На открытки или прочий мерч не действует.Хороших книг на английском почти нет,в основном покетбуки. Не ходите в него.
El diseño de la librería, sus techos y sobre todo su escalera es espectacular. Una pena que no se pueda disfrutar por culpa de todo el gentío. Hay que pagar entrada (3€).
You can't come to Porto and not visit Lello, but note that the books are seriously overpriced, plus the bar upstairs is severely understocked (no milk). Otherwise, this is where the magic happened!
Quite busy, too many people, only portuguese books available or rather a very tiny selection of books in English/other languages is available. Place where "Harry Porter" books allegedly were "born".
Impressionante. Não há como descrever a beleza dessa livraria. Vale visitar todos os dias durante a estadia no Porto. E se encantar todos os dias pelo local..
In the Top 5 of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, Lello is the first in Top that was actually build to be a bookstore. More than books great architecture and an old style. Amazing to see.
This shop boasts breathtaking Gothic Revival and Art Nouveau architecture, and is suspected to be part of the inspiration for the Harry Potter series' settings. 続きを見る
one of the most egregious excesses of capitalism. a bookshopJK Rowling “used to frequent” with no link to Harry Potter turned into a spectacle with absurd premiums, and no room to swing a Kneazle
5 EUR entrance to make picture with another 50 people on it is a good joke. Just go to the nearest bar and get a glass of vine. All this place is huge commerce place providing merchandise everywhere.
Not sure what all the fuss is about. Too crowded, you can't even take a foto in a otherwise bea enterier. And the line for entering the place... Do buy tickets online!
Не понравилось. Куча народу, постоянно очереди. Не стоит даже те 3евро, что за него просят. Можно смело пропустить эту достопримечательности и сходить на еще одну дегустацию портвейна.
3€ pour voir un escalier et 30 minutes d'attente c'est sans intérêt. Les livres sont les même que dans n'importe quelle librairie. Mieux vaut pas s'y aventurer.
Umas das bibliotecas mais lindas que já vi. Escadas marcantes. Prateleiras com algumas raridades. Só de saber que foi inspiração para os cenários de Harry Potter já vale a visita.
what a tragedy of the commons shame. it is such a beautiful bookstore that would be a joy to browse if it weren't for the incessant amateur photographers flashing light in your eyes.
Be sure to watch some Harry Potter before visiting Lello. Story goes JK Rowling was inspired by this bookstore and wrote the first drafts at the tables on the first floor!
Lástima dejar de ser una librería bien gestionada a ser un parque de atracciones. Pero aun así merece la pena la visita. Es preciosa. Los turistas terminarán por destrozarla.. .
Hermosa librería. Es un lugar muy especial, sobre todo si te gustó la saga de Harry Potter! Una pena no poder sacar fotos del interior (está prohibido).
It is one of the oldest bookshops in Portugal. In 2011, the Australian Travel Guides and Guidebooks editor Lonely Planet classified Livraria Lello as the third best bookshop in the world.
