One of the most impressive architectural examples of art nouveau in Porto, Lello bookshop offers a truly exceptional visual and intellectual experience.

Created by an engineering teacher named Xavier Esteves in 1906, Lello Bookshop is an acclaimed bookshop within the book loving community in Porto, in Portugal, and around Europe. But it's not only for book lovers: The beautiful architecture and design; the entrance and the sprawling steps (which are apparently inspired by the ones in Gallery Lafayette); the colours and the numerous shelves packed with old and new books, all make for a wonderful experience.
