Twenty years later, and Lisbon still surprises me. This bookstore at the end of Rua de SΓ£o Bento, right before it meets Rua PoΓ§o dos Negros, sells travel books exclusively.Β
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 SΓ£o Bento 34 – 1200-819 Lisbon
Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. & 3 p.m. – 7 p.m.

True! Thanks for reading π
I never skip a great books and travel post! Thanks for sharing π
Thanks for reading, Lauren! π
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 π Such a little dream… Lisbon seems to have something magic for bookstores !
Definitely my favorite bookstore, too π
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 π
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… π (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 π
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 π
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 π
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!
