One of the oldest bookstores in the country and one of the most coveted bookstores in the world, Lello is an important landmark of the city of Porto and a must-see for tourists visiting the city. Opened in 1906, the building boasts a neo-Gothic façade, standing out from the surrounding urban landscape. Inside, bookcases and ceilings are copiously worked out, with special mention being made of the extraordinary staircase leading to the first floor and the large stained glass window that bears the monogram with the Decus in labore Bookstore border. In 2016, the façade and the stained glass were carefully restored and restored to their original look and brightness.

Bardo Creative Ground is more than a shop, more than an agency, more than a studio – it is a creative space. The Bardo is, in the same space, a communication agency, a magazine and design shop. The magazines are selected in order to focus mainly on interior design and architecture, and there are also music, business and lifestyle publications, as well as cookbooks. On the lower floor, there is the photography studio, for fashion and product productions. At the entrance, there is the showroom, with some design pieces on display. Preference is given to Portuguese pieces, although those from other countries are not set aside, as long as they meet sustainability requirements.

It started by offering other types of articles and products, besides the usual publications, and extended its opening hours. At this time, in addition to its normal opening hours during the week, it is also open from 10 pm to 4 am on weekends. This differentiating time opened the tobacconist to a new audience. In addition to a place where people will buy their newspapers and magazines and tobacco, they have started to serve another type of audience that uses the tobacco shop almost as a convenience store.
