LIVRARIA LELLO
You can certainly judge this bookstore by its cover. This neo-gothic facade features ornate reliefs and painted figures representing science and art. The inside of 100-year-old Livraria Lello in Porto is just as magical, with a stained-glass ceiling, arched shelves and intricate curled staircase. Visit www.livrarialello.pt READING CORNER: Hunker down with a good book at the The Yeatman. This glamorous hideaway that features its own two-star Michelin restaurant comes with its own tome — The Wine Book, which is an anthology on the best Portuguese wineries. Worth thumbing over.
