Definitely one of the world's most beautiful bookstores, worth a visit even if reading is not an essential part of your life. The red-carpeted, sensuously curved Art Nouveau-style stairs; the stained glass; the bronze busts of Portuguese writers; the arch-like bookshelves; the smell of wood and ancient books: the room alone sets your thoughts in motion, just like a good book. The tiny, almost secret second-level cafe is the place to enjoy some coffee, Port wine or a fine cigar and exchange a word or two with the co-owner Antero Braga who knows everything there is to know about books published in Portugal.

It’s impossible to keep them to yourself, and probably the best investment you will ever make. That is why we have created anothertravelguide.com.
