The Lello bookshop in Porto is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Currently has an average of 4000 daily visistas, which disturbs the tranquility that a bookstore should offer to their customers. To combat this lack of tranquility in 15 days, entering the bookstore will now be paid. “It is very difficult to reconcile the fact that we are a tourist attraction and we have this enormous pressure either from visitors or from people here in with the tranquility that a bookstore there,” he told Jornal de Notícias José Manuel Lello, head of the bookstore.
Making the distinction between customers, who will have a card Friends Lello, and visitors which will pay 3 euros to visit the bookstore. The Friends Lello card has a cost of 10 euros, this amounts are then deducted from the purchase of a book. For visitors 3 euros are also discounted some book that visitors get.
There is already outside the bookstore a reception center for visitors, so you can maintain the tranquility necessary to assess not only space, but also books. Visitors agree with the idea, since the amount paid on entry is then deducted from the purchase of books, consider that may be a way to encourage people to read.
