AWESOME visit in Porto! I loved everything about this bookstore visit--the gorgeous interior, the selection of books in 5 languages, the hidden details and "Easter Eggs" hidden throughout--and, above all, the personable and knowledgeable staff. Your ticket price can be applied to any book purchase inside the store--and I happily walked out with two! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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 book store is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth going into. The only drawback is the people. And obviously I'm part of the problem if you consider that I'm complaining about the people. But if more people were more conscientious of everyone wanting to enjoy the ambience, the views, the beauty and they took their 10 seconds to take a quick photo and move on more people Would have an opportunity to do that. The reality is not every tourist is in social media influencer so get your picture and get out of the way. You don't need to check your shot and re-shoot it 10 times there are hundreds of people trying to file through here every day and trying to get that shot. If you're uninterrupted photo is that important schedule a private tour. And honestly, this goes for everything if you're standing in front of something that you know is popular for photos and people are waiting. Take three quick pictures have your camera on live you can pick the best frame and move on especially with digital editing and AI editing there is no reason a single group of people is taking One to two to even three minutes for a singular photo.

We were able to take good photos as the place wasn't too crowded. Amazing bookshop and I managed to redeem 10€ from my ticket to buy a book.

Very nice place, and a magnificent, unique library! It's worth the detour, but... We're so tightly packed together that we can't move forward, we just stand there, almost unable to move. I'd love to see a fire drill, to see how effective the evacuation is with the same number of people present as I've seen. I don't doubt that the safety rules are well respected, but I must admit that at the time, I wasn't very reassured. But otherwise, once again, this library is magnificent, a source of Portuguese pride!
