Twenty years later, and Lisbon still surprises me. This bookstore at the end of Rua de São Bento, right before it meets Rua Poço dos Negros, sells travel books exclusively.Â
You can, shamelessly, use that Saint Agustine quote “the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page” here.
Travel guides, travel memoirs, travel literature, travel-themed accessories, all organized in different nooks and levels (one for each continent). Looking for a specific travel book in Portuguese, English, or French? Step right in because they probably have it.
Rua de São Bento 34 – 1200-819 Lisbon
Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. & 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.

True! Thanks for reading 🙂
I never skip a great books and travel post! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for reading, Lauren! 🙂
I love books and I could imagine a tour just to see all these amazing places. My favorite place would certainly be Palavra de Viajante where they sells travel-related books 🙂 Such a little dream… Lisbon seems to have something magic for bookstores !
Definitely my favorite bookstore, too 🙂
Handy! Love going on a literary tour of new cities. Easy to see why Ler Devagar is popular on the ‘gram!
Definitely! And one of the most beautiful in the world too 🙂
Total bibliophile over here! Love the post. Wish I had read it before going in October. There are no book stores where I live, at least none to be found. And I should’ve spent some time wandering places like this while on my trip! Great post!
Well, if you ever need a reason to come back… 🙂 (PS – how can you live in a place without bookstores! Thank goodness for internet shopping)
Another reason for me to visit! I LOVE BOOKS! Ler Devagar looks amazing.
You should but I’ll warn you, you are likely to find many more hidden treasures around the corner. Lisbon seems to have a thing for bookstores 🙂
I’ve been to Lisbon but haven’t visited any of the places you mentioned! Shame on me. Probably time to go back!
Any reason is always a good reason to return to Lisbon 🙂
Thanks for this post! Im planning a trip to Lisbon soon and of course, as a reader these spots are must!
Ah awesome Brenda! There’s plenty to see here 🙂
Since we want to go back to Lisbon and have a wander, this post is most useful. We love books and we could imagine a tour just to see all these precious places. Love, love, love. Thank you so much for sharing. Some look so special, don’t they?
I’m obviously biased, but I love these places. My favorite is definitely Palavra de Viajante. A bookstore that only sells travel-related books is the dream!
