Livraria Bertrand is a Portuguese bookseller that dates back to 1732. While you can now find multiple locations throughout Portugal, the original bookstore in Lisbon's Chiado neighborhood is the oldest operating bookstore in the world. A charming spot with vaulted ceilings and arched doorways, the shop sells a diverse range of books primarily in Portuguese.

The original Livraria Bertrand location is on an unassuming side street in the Chiado neighborhood of Lisbon. It is within walking distance from the Baixa-Chiado metro station or accessible by tram or bus. There are now over 50 other Livraria Bertrand locations throughout Portugal, as well as an online bookshop.

In addition to shopping opportunities and a café in the back, the bookstore hosts reading clubs. There are also literature courses offered, plus classes for children (to encourage the next generation of readers). Customers looking for a particular title can place an order and the bookstore will source the book for you.

Livraria Bertrand's location in Chiado makes it the perfect stop on a walking tour of Lisbon. Visit the Estação do Rossio to see the stunning architecture, and then head to the Santa Justa Lift for a panoramic view of the city. The Church of St. Dominic is also worth a visit.
