Livraria Lello
Livraria Lello has been a bookstore very much of its times ever since 1906, carrying within it over a century of history and stories, imbued into its architectural surroundings and also into the bookish knowledge that shape the experiences of those who visit and those who read. In our Milestones, we take a look back at the most defining moments, introduce some of the most influential personalities and witnesses to the many odd stories that have cropped up along the successful route journeyed by Livraria Lello!Porto · 56.4 km from Aveiro

Pena Park
Pena Park is a vast royal forest garden surrounding Pena Palace, spread across the heights of Sintra mountain. Built in the mid-19th century by Portuguese King Ferdinand II concurrently with the palace, it covers over 200 hectares of undulating terrain with dense woods. The crisscrossing garden paths form a labyrinth connecting stone bridges, grottoes, fountains, and floral pergolas. Combined with the frequent mountain mists, strolling here feels like stepping into a fairy-tale forest. Viewed from the palace side, the entire green expanse spreads like an ocean across the slopes, with the red-and-yellow palace towers as the focal point. This garden embodies distinct romanticism - the king ordered exotic trees planted from distant continents, including North American redwoods, Chinese ginkgos, Japanese cryptomerias, and magnolias. In the "Queen's fern valley," Australian and New Zealand tree ferns thrive densely along the stream. The lake valley features duck houses built like miniature castles on ponds, one mimicking the Moorish castle. A knight-themed "Warrior statue" by sculptor Rusconi stands in the woods, while the Swiss-style "Countess cottage" on the western side, decorated with cork and painted wood textures, was built for the king's opera-singer second wife, surrounded by camellias, rhododendrons, and granite boulders. Visiting tips: Wear comfortable shoes and allocate half a day due to the vast area with many slopes and forks. Don't just make a round-trip to the palace - explore deeper paths to quieter, photogenic spots like the lake valley, fern garden, and countess cottage. Spring brings particularly vibrant colors when camellias bloom.Portugal · Sintra

The most beautiful bookstore in the world! What can I say. Magnificent. It’s just that there’s just so many people. But what do you expect? People also wanna see the most beautiful bookstore in the world.

Definitely worth the visit. It is beautiful. Try to get there later in the afternoon so the clouds will clear and you get to see far.
