Bertrand Bookstore – Chiado, Lisbon

Founded in 1732, Bertrand is the world’s oldest operating bookstore — a quiet landmark in the heart of Lisbon’s Chiado district.

Walking through its halls is like turning the pages of Portuguese literary history. From worn wooden shelves to the scent of old paper, everything tells a story.
