Livraria Bertrand

Livraria Bertrand, located in Lisbon’s Chiado district, has been a haven for book lovers since 1732, making it the world’s oldest operating bookstore. The azulejo-tiled facade, adorned with an art deco sign, invites visitors into a space that combines history and modernity. Inside, historical paintings and murals adorn the walls, while dedicated sections highlight the works of Portuguese literary giants. Today, the store not only offers a wide selection of books but also hosts a café, book clubs, and various courses and classes, creating a vibrant community hub for both locals and tourists.
