Livraria Lello & Irmão
Porto, Portugal
It stands out with its spiral staircase and stained-glass ceiling, being a bookstore opened in 1906, not a theatrical venue.
Livraria Lello & Irmão is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, opened in 1906, famous for its Neo-Gothic facade and Art Nouveau interior. Particularly impressive are the spiral staircase, stained-glass ceiling, and carved wooden shelves. The bookstore is an inspiration for Harry Potter fans, and J.K. Rowling allegedly drew ideas from it. It is a popular tourist attraction, often with long queues, which requires purchasing an entrance ticket. Here you can admire the architecture and the richness of the book collection.
