FamilyVerified bookingJun 20265/5It was really great. No lines—we arrived and didn't even have to wait two minutes; we went right in, even though there was a long line for other types of tickets. Buying the tickets was very quick; we bought them the same day, just a couple of hours before we went in. Inside, the experience was spectacular—a magical place. Plus, with the admission ticket, each person in my group could take home a book. They have a great gift shop.AAndrew W
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Amazing building interior with thousands of wonderful books. Great staff, all extremely polite and helpful, and speaking good English. Excellent ticketing system with entry controls highly organised.MMerigout E
FamilyVerified bookingLast week4/5It's a wonderful bookstore, and you have plenty of time to browse and choose a book. Note that the foundation isn't in the same place as the bookstore, so there's no point in visiting both. And the "free book" isn't entirely true—it's just a 15-euro coupon. So you'll have to pay extra.DDivyanka S
GroupVerified bookingLast week4/5We got priority tickets but later found out the Lello Foundation Museum was not in the same area and no address was provided. At the Livraria Lello they told us to refer to the booking which did not list the address. It is a very nice bookstore but overrated for the price.FFörster C
