Frequently ranked the world's most beautiful bookstore

Livraria Lello, opened in the city of Porto in 1906, is known for its ornate neo-Gothic interior, curving wooden staircase and stained-glass ceiling. Travel writers and major outlets have repeatedly ranked it among the most beautiful bookstores in the world. The shop has become such a tourist draw that it now charges an entrance fee, redeemable against a book purchase.
