Lello Bookshop, Stock Exchange Palace and Sé Cathedral

Itinerary

Admission included30 min

The Porto Cathedral is a Romanesque-Gothic building from the 12th and 13th centuries, which underwent major renovations in the Baroque period (17th-18th centuries). Inside, it still retains the appearance of a fortress church, with battlements. Of particular note is the beautiful rose window (12th century) and the loggia or side galilee (1736), the work of Nicolau Nasoni, facing the city. Next to the doors are monumental holy water fonts from the late 17th century. Next to the 17th century baptismal font, there is a bas-relief by Teixeira Lopes (Father).

15 min

Visit Porto’s historic São Bento Train Station and admire its stunning main hall, decorated with thousands of traditional Portuguese azulejos. Take some time to appreciate the detailed tile panels depicting important moments from Portugal’s history and enjoy the station’s beautiful architecture before continuing your experience.

Admission included30 min

Livraria Lello (formerly Livraria Chardron, 1869-1919) is a Portuguese bookstore and publishing house whose headquarters are located at 144 Rua das Carmelitas, in the historic center of Porto. Classified as a Monument of Public Interest and in the process of becoming a National Monument, Livraria Lello preserves the original beauty of its building.

30 min

Explore Porto’s historic center and discover its charming streets, historic buildings, and lively squares. Walk through the heart of the city, admire its traditional architecture, and see some of Porto’s most iconic landmarks while enjoying the experience at your own pace.

Admission included30 min

The Palácio da Bolsa, or Palácio da Associação Comercial do Porto, a neoclassical building, began to be built on October 6, 1842, the solemn date of the laying of the first stone, given the closure of the Casa da Bolsa do Comércio, which forced Portuguese traders to discuss their business in the open air.

Disappointing experience at an exorbitant price, to be avoided.

I visited this bookstore, paying an exorbitant ticket of 15 euros to see 2 very small rooms based on the suggestion of Harry Potter. I also discovered that the staircase that would seem to have inspired Rowling is actually not even made of wood, but of plaster. It is simply a commercial operation that is absolutely not worth visiting, unless it is free; upon leaving, you really have the feeling of having been used. Better to spend the money on something else.

Operator response

Dear Annamaria, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Livraria Lello did not meet your expectations and that you felt the admission price did not represent good value for the visit. We understand that the bookstore’s popularity and its association with Harry Potter can create high expectations. However, Livraria Lello is primarily a historic bookstore known for its architecture, design, and cultural significance, and we regret that the experience did not resonate with you in the way you had hoped. We also appreciate your comments regarding the staircase and the Harry Potter connection. We understand how important it is for visitors to have accurate information and realistic expectations before booking. We respect your opinion and are sorry that you left feeling disappointed. Your feedback is valuable and will help us continue to improve how the experience is presented to travelers. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we hope you enjoyed other cultural and historical experiences during your time in Porto. Warm regards, Luka Destinations

Everything was handled very informal. Having paid and booked I was changed time of the event and one of the places to know was not available

We sincerely apologize for the change in the scheduled time after your booking and for the fact that one of the planned locations was not available during your tour.

Great way to see the historical area

We enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Porto. I highly recommend taking the tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we learned so much about the area and the history that you could not learn but walking around on your own. We especially enjoyed the Stock Exchange building. Don’t miss it!
