Tip from Content Creator
Are you a bookworm and a Potterhead? Then take a short 10-minute walk to Livraria Lello for a wonderful time! Built in 1906, this is Porto's most famous bookstore and is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Not only is it stunning, but it is said to have inspired J.K. Rowling while writing the Harry Potter series, perhaps serving as a muse for the interiors of Hogwarts!
While this has not been officially confirmed, the bookstore undeniably exudes a magical atmosphere that any Potterhead could appreciate. It is definitely easy to feel like you have been transported to Hogwarts when you are inside.
Tip: There is usually a long queue for enterting the store as they limit the amount of people inside at once. You can purchase vouchers online for around 16 EUR (17 USD) to enjoy priority entrance.
