Latina is one of the most emblematic bookstores in Porto. It was founded in 1942 by Henrique Perdigão and is known for its façade, highlighting the bust of Luis de Camões. It was the first company in Portugal to create a literary contest, right in the year of its inauguration. The winner of the contest was Prof. José Hermano Saraiva who competed with the work “Vento vindo dos montes” using the pseudonym Simplicimus. Now part of the Leya group, Latina continues to offer its customers a wide range of books. Throughout its three floors you will find all the latest Portuguese and foreign literature, as well as technical, school, children’s and artistic books and travel guides.

Bücherstube is a bookstore primarily dedicated to the dissemination of the German language and culture. A German family started Bücherstube about 25 years ago as a response to the difficulty of obtaining school books for the German School. When this family returned to Germany, two sisters, former students of the German School, acquired the estate and set up the Bücherstube company in its current location. Since then they have been developing their business in various fields, German books, stationery and other products and services, as well as school books for Portuguese schools. In 2016 they opened a similar space in Lisbon, near the German School.
