A truly lovely experience! You can enter the bookstore every 30minutes and you can buy a ticket for 8€ via their online booking QR code. The attendants inside are very knowledgeable and helpful and they have a selection in a few languages including English, French, Portuguese etc. The 8€ ticket is also a discount on a book so it’s a lovely memento from the bookstore. I highly recommend this bookstore as a must see, especially in Winter when it’s not so busy!

Many magic bookstores (Livraria Lello), walk into the inspiration scene of JK. Rowling's magic world.

That day is the key sales date for the little prince. So someone is selling the appearance of the little prince, and one of the interesting ones is the truck with the tracks.

If you know what you're getting into, this place is fantastic and beautiful, it is a piece of history and amazing architecture that is truly a gem. To avoid long queue it is suggested to buy a ticket in advance which will refunded when you buy something and It lets you pass the waiting line too. If you are in Porto and nothing to do, so it will be a place where you can spend few hours. My opinion is 50/50 and crowdy .....................
