Scenic point
Lello Bookstore
Lello Bookstore (Portugal) is located in the Lello Bookstore in Porto, Portugal's second largest city, with a history of nearly 132 years. It was also selected as "one of the top ten most beautiful bookstores in the world" by many British newspapers and Lonely Planet. The bookstore adopts a peculiar Gothic architectural style. The most special thing is the Gothic wooden staircase leading from the center of the bookstore to the top of the building. The bookshelves around the staircase are filled with various books in Portuguese and English, which perfectly interprets the meaning of "Stairway to Heaven". The store is illuminated by a stained glass ceiling, with bronze-toned decorative lights in the dark.
Since its opening in 1881, Lello Bookstore has attracted a large number of readers with its good design. There is a beautiful wooden staircase in the middle of the bookstore, leading to the top of the building. Readers can look up at the sky 360 degrees through the glass roof. The bookshelves around the stairs are filled with all kinds of good books, making "bookworms" linger and forget to return.
