]]> Located in Lisbon’s vibrant Chiado district, the Bertrand Bookstore (Livraria Bertrand) stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of literature. Since its establishment in 1732, the store has earned the prestigious title of the world’s oldest operating bookstore, proudly displayed on its door through a Guinness World Records certificate, regularly drawing visitors from around the globe.

Shelves Full of Literary Treasures

The store is comprised of multiple, interconnected spaces displaying a diverse collection of bestsellers and literary classics. If you notice another distinct scent other than that of aged pages, you’re not making it up—it’s the freshly brewed coffee in the café nestled at the back. Other than all the Portuguese literary gems, there’s also a small (yet noteworthy) English-language section.

Celebrity Literary Gatherings

When it comes to the most ancient bookstore in the world, there must be some fine celebrity gossip involved! Throughout history, Livraria Bertrand played host to intellectual giants like Alexandre Herculano, Eça de Queirós, and Ramalho Ortigão, who gathered there to discuss literature and politics.

How to Get There

The store is located a short distance from the Baixa-Chiado metro station, accessible via the blue or green line. For those exploring Lisbon with a Lisboa Card, the metro ride is free.

]]> If you love to read, or even if you’ve just read some of the classics for schools, you might enjoy getting a better vision of the plots of your books by visiting the scenes where they take place. Luckily, plenty of book settings are real places or based on real places that you can visit today. Here are some of the best!

Harry Potter: King’s Cross Station (London, England)

If you’ve been waiting since you were 11 to cross over to platform 9 3/4 and take the train to Hogwarts, you can visit this real train station and test your luck. There’s even a sign in the place where you can try to go through! It’s a cute destination if you have some free time while visiting London.

The Shining: The Stanley Hotel (Estes Park, Colorado)

This Colorado hotel has been reporting ghost sitings for years, and apparently spooked Stephen King so much that he decided to write what would become one of the most well-known horror books and even more classic horror movies in recent history. They’ve even got a tour of the hotel’s history and the book it inspired.

Twilight: Bella Italia (Forks, Washington)

There’s a lot of spots around the Forks, Washington area that are known from the Twilight series, which sparked a worldwide crazy not too long ago. One such spot is the restaurant where Bella and Edward first go to eat, where you can eat yourself and pretend you’re also on a date with a vampire.
