Year of the Snake

Prettiest bookshop

July - Charlotte

On the top floor of the bookshop, in the background are bookshelves, above the bookshelves are art deco style paintings decorating the walls. The majority of the room is taken up by the wooden frame of a grand staircase, in the centre is a bridge which leads to the steps. Through the wooden frame, you can see downstairs where the bottom of the red steps are visible along with more bookshelves. Both floors are full of people admiring the beauty and taking photos.
Possibly the prettiest bookshop in the world! Nearly two weeks in Portugal for the World Scout Moot ended in possibly the most beautiful bookshop in the world.

While the books on sale were pretty limited in choice (although Spanish, English, French and Portuguese titles were available with many in special editions), the bookshop itself was worth the visit itself.
