    We went at 2pm and it was very crowded. Might be better if you booked a later time. Beautiful Bookshop though.

    The Livraria Lello bookshop is beautiful. The only problem I found was that it was overcrowded and this made it difficult to appreciate the place.

    Ganz ehrlich, die Treppe und handwerklich Leistung ist schon ein Hingucker ! Aus meiner Sicht ist aber die Buchhandlung in den Hintergrund getreten und als Einnahmequelle steht nur noch die mögliche Ideenquelle für Harry Potter im Vordergrund !

    Para começar a organização das entradas não é organizada A organização e disposição dos livros não é de todo a mais adequada numa livraria (sim mesmo sendo uma livraria centenária) é uma livraria portuguesa, pelo que é expectável que a maioria dos livros estejam em português, no entanto não é o que acontece, ainda percebo os livros em inglês no entanto não justifica a oferta medíocre. Tanto hype à volta da livraria e a verdade é que é bonita mas esperava mais, é pequena e depois o aspeto acima
