Wow, lucky you! Are they as nice as in the photos? The Porto one looks nice enough to live in. Love the staircase!

Polare is a special experience. It's inside a (former) church, but the railings and metal podiums give it a bit of urban atmosphere. There is a great selection of books, both new and second-hand. Livraria Lello was a bit of a disappointing. The picture we saw in the City Guide was similar to the one in the link- in reality, its not so spectacular. The stairs (there is a rumor that they were the inspiration for Hogwarts after J.K.Rowling visited the place) are quite short, actually. The books were also a let-down. I really wanted to buy something (there were plenty of tourists that came just for sight-seeing, without any intention to buy a book), but there was nothing reasonable to choose from! Still, it was a nice experience :)

I would live in Livraria Lello, in Portugal.
Which would be funny because I don't speak Portuguese.
