  1. Who, wouldn’t be inspired by this?

  2. Looks like Dumbledore’s office

  3. Hollly fuckkk

  4. In Porto Portugal… come see it in person

  5. Welcome to porto! Our city is so magic, it was a massive inspiration for the most well known fantasy book franchise, or, well one of them

  6. If you are okay with queuing for two hours and it’s usually packed with people – still awesome though.

  7. It’s beautiful. I still remember when you could get in for free (like an actual bookshop) and browse books and enjoy the architecture. Now you have to buy a ticket and wait in line.

    I’m not saying f*** you tourism, because I think that was what saved the bookshop and it allows for its maintenance, which I’m all for. Just rambling.

    Note that I’m 28, and when I was 18 or 19, and maybe all the way to 21, you could get in for free, so the change was kind of recent.

  8. Lol I just saw a documentary of best libraries in the world.

    And it’s not true that JK Rowling even went there

  10. I had a dream like this when I was a kid but it was all inside a tree

  11. Beautiful! I bought a copy of Os Lusiadas when I visited. Been meaning to read it:)
