The wait outside the Lello bookshop at 9.45am was very short. No more than 5-10 minutes. As we had bought a book, the entrance fee was refunded. The visit was pleasant, but the number of tourists blocking access to the staircase to take the perfect photo was annoying. The bookshop wasn't overcrowded, but people are blocking your way to strike a pose. They want a photo that looks like they're alone, but they're not.

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 !

In spite of the large crowd, we got in nearly in the exact time. Was worthy to buy tickets online, made it all easy. Just to queue in the specified time and be patience. The place is a bit small for so many people but security people ard helping to move one group in one way and let other ones follow. Beautiful library, very unique, absolutely worth to visit 🥰👍👍👍👍

    Everything was lovely, and appreciated the voucher to get a book 📕 The only problem was too many people and not enough cold air.

    Entering is already magical ... despite the number of people there is an atmosphere of a book tale of bibliitecs.... wood.... shelves ... smell of books.... thousands of them.... The interior is amazingly beautiful with its floors and ceiling.... It is a beautiful place full of stories waiting to be told or read.
