A Centenary House of Culture
We promote reading as an act of freedom and imagination. At Livraria Lello Porto, books are regarded as essential goods; objects of culture and investment. We are a publishing and artistic house that preserves heritage, nurtures readers and projects culture.
Join us!
We work as a team and, together, we make Livraria Lello Porto a global reference in culture and literature. Every visitor is a potential reader; every gesture is an invitation to discovery.
We strive for excellence, achieved through ethics, dignity and responsibility at work. We take pride in our history, trust in the present and are eager to discover what we will achieve in the future.
We are passionate about the city we call home, Porto, and its people. We are proudly tripeiros. With every step we take, we act as ambassadors for sustainable development, caring for our community in the process.
Mission
We believe that reading is one of the most transformative acts of the human experience — which is why inspiring the world to read has always been Livraria Lello Porto’s mission.
We want to contribute to a more cultured, more sensitive and more beautiful world: with more readers, more books and, therefore, a happier world.
We consider books an essential good for emotional well-being and the prosperity of societies. And we make reading a driving force for freedom and belonging.
Vision
— Transform culture into a space for creation, desire and value.
— Make books, heritage and the literary experience drivers of growth, desire and the future.
— Be a global reference in book culture — as a space, a brand and a driver of cultural growth.

“— What is the end of a city under construction if not a city? Where is the plan they are following, the design?
— We will show it to you once the day is over; now we cannot stop — they reply. The work ceases at sunset. Night falls over the construction site. It is a starry night.
— Here is the project.”
— "As Cidade Invisíveis", Italo Calvino
