The bookshop is very nice, unfortunately it was very crowded. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth a visit. The option to use the entrance ticket as a voucher. To buy a book is a good option, we bought two books at once👍 from us its clear recommendation!!!!

The ease of being able to combine two interests into one purchase. I've done many HOPON/OFF tours. This one puzzled me a bit going through residential areas as a tourist. Didn't know the yellow line was part of it, which we were staying in Gaia, and ran out of time in the 24hr slot to do. I wish the 24hr ticket was a timed 24 hr from when you validate it and not the calendar day. The library was wonderful and they did not boot you out which I was surprised about !

The ticketing with Headout was uncomplicated and simple ! Livrario Lello was marvellous but very growded. We just had a short look around. It would be important to communicat that there is no possibility to enter without booking a ticket!! The day before we tried to get a time to enter by standing in the queue. It was wasted time 🤷‍♀️

Enjoy a value-packed combo featuring a 50-minute Douro River cruise, entry to the iconic Livraria Lello, and a redeemable book voucher.

Sail beneath Porto’s six iconic bridges on a traditional rabelo boat for sweeping city and riverside views.

Step inside Livraria Lello, one of the world’s most beautiful bookstores, and take home a special edition book.

This combo offers unbeatable value and convenience for discovering Porto’s top sights in one go.
