Lello Bookshop, the Harry Potter Bookshop in Porto

Right in the heart of Porto’s historic centre, just a stone’s throw from the Clérigos Tower, stands one of the world’s most famous bookshops. Lello Bookshop is not just a space dedicated to literature, but also a true architectural gem and one of the great cultural icons of this Portuguese city. Definitely a must-see in Porto!

By booking this ticket, you’ll gain access to this building, which opened in 1906, and can explore its elegant rooms at your leisure. From the very first moment, your attention will be drawn to its impressive central staircase made of red wood, designed with curved lines and Neo-Gothic ornamentation that look as though they’ve been plucked from a fantasy film.

Did you know that many people associate this place with the world of Harry Potter? Although it was never officially confirmed, the bookshop is linked to the period when J. K. Rowling lived in Porto and worked as an English teacher. Its interior is inevitably reminiscent of the settings at Hogwarts!

During your visit, you’ll also be able to admire the ceilings decorated with plaster mouldings, the carved wooden bookshelves and the spectacular polychrome stained-glass ceiling, featuring the motto ‘Decus in Labore’, which means ‘dignity in work’. Every corner of the bookshop combines elements of Art Nouveau and Portuguese Neo-Gothic styles, creating an atmosphere that is as opulent as it is photogenic.

As well as exploring the premises and discovering its special and collector’s editions, you’ll receive a 15EUR discount on book purchases. It’s undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to take home a souvenir from one of Porto’s most fascinating places. You’ll fall head over heels in love with Lello!

Audio Guide

When you make your booking, you can choose the option that includes an audio guide in English. Thanks to this, you’ll be able to learn unique details about the history and architecture of the Lello bookshop whilst exploring every corner of it.
