Worth the trip; prepare for the lines

Judi_H, May 2026

Lello is an extraordinary bookstore for its gorgeous woodwork, the iconic winding staircase, and near-Baroque-style ceilings. The lines were very manageable in the mid-morning (I was there for a 10:45 am entry), but as the day went on, it did get unwieldy, as my fellow travelers reported. I found the line to purchase a book worse than the line to get in, so I opted out and chose to seal my memory with photographs.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Judi, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you appreciated the beauty and unique atmosphere of Livraria Lello, especially its remarkable woodwork, iconic staircase, and stunning architectural details. It’s wonderful to know that your morning visit allowed for a more comfortable experience. We also appreciate your helpful observations regarding the lines throughout the day. As one of Porto’s most visited landmarks, the bookstore can become significantly busier during peak hours, and feedback like yours is valuable for helping future visitors plan their experience. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. We’re very happy that the visit was worthwhile for you and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Porto. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

Daisy_L, May 2026

There weee too many people in the bookstore. I wished they would limit the number of people going in.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Daisy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern regarding the number of visitors inside Livraria Lello and we’re sorry that the crowd levels affected your experience.

We completely understand your wish for a more controlled visitor flow to allow guests to better appreciate the beauty and atmosphere of the space. Your feedback is very valuable and will be shared accordingly. We truly appreciate your visit and hope you still enjoyed discovering one of Porto’s most iconic landmarks. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

Viator is extremely pricing

HsiaoJu_L, May 2026

Viator charged me eur26 for silver ticket which you can get eur 12 at Lello bookstore website directly.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding pricing. We understand your frustration when comparing prices with the official website of Livraria Lello. Please note that prices on third-party platforms like Viator may differ due to service fees, platform commissions, currency conversions, and the inclusion of customer support and booking assistance. That said, we fully agree that pricing should be as transparent as possible, and we regret if this was not clear at the time of booking. Your feedback is very important and helps us improve how we communicate these differences to future guests. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you still enjoyed your visit to Livraria Lello. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

Whether JK Rowing received inspiration from the bookstore or not, it is a must see. Absolutely beautiful!

Nice place, but there's a queue...

Luciana_A, Apr 2026

It was a place I wanted to see. Really beautiful the bookstore, the editions... but there's a huge queue and they're a little delayed.
