Such a beautiful landmark! Loved the interior, it was so comfortable ever though there were so many people inside!! The staff was so very helpful. I wanted to purchase the English version of the Porto coffee table book, but you were all sold out!! I wish I had an option to order it and have it shipped home!

Tickets were easy to locate, purchase and access. Entry lines were labeled clearly indicating signs time slots and entry was efficient. The bookshelf itself was busy but that was to be expected, checkout was a breeze. No complaints!

Easy to find and biard. The boat and seats afre clean. There is a space inside if it's cold or rainy. It would be even better if the route extends to ocean (or at least near).

There are frequent boat departures, so there’s little waiting time. The “cruise” is enjoyable, offering a beautiful view that’s different from what you see on land. At each of the key points of interest, commentary is provided in several languages, including French. A wonderful experience worth recommending when you’re in Porto.

Lello Bookstore is truly an authentic and beautiful place. It has a very special, intimate atmosphere. The architecture is unique. The spirit of Harry Potter reigns supreme there. The staff are friendly, cheerful, and speak many languages.

First vendor wanted me to wait an hour and not check times with the other vendor - who had immediate openings. Wanted me to scan in and change if other was available.
