Your favorite pretty book place? 📚👇 Every time I go somewhere new, I research libraries//bookstores//cafes in the area. These are just a few of the gems I’ve found over the years, from the Real Gabinete Português de Leitura in Rio de Janeiro to the Cuesta de Moyano book stalls lining a pedestrian street in Madrid. Is anyone else obsessed with places like this for no particular reason? I just love being surrounded by books 😍 . . . . . #prettybookplaces #bookstagram #booklovers #bookish #libraries #books

The Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading (Portuguese: Real Gabinete Português de Leitura) is a library and lusophone cultural institution, is located in Luís de Camões Street, number 30, in the center of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is listed by the State Institute of Cultural Heritage. Elected the fourth most beautiful library in the world by Time magazine, the Cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside Portugal. Opened to the public since 1900, the library of the Royal Cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese works outside Portugal. Among the 350,000 volumes, both national and foreign, are rare works such as a copy of the "princeps" edition of Os Lusíadas of Camões (1572), the Ordinations of D. Manuel (1521), the Capitolos de Cortes and Leys (1539), Verdadeira informaçam das terras do Preste Joam, segundo vio e escreveo ho padre Francisco Alvarez (1540), a manuscript of the comedy "Tu, só tu, puro amor" by Machado de Assis, and many others. Every year, it receives about six thousand titles from Portugal. There is also an important collection of paintings by José Malhoa, Carlos Reis, Oswaldo Teixeira, Eduardo Malta and Henrique Medina. Every day, it receives, on average, one hundred and fifty visitors. Among its illustrious visitors, from the past, are the names of Machado de Assis, Olavo Bilac and João do Rio. The Royal Cabinet publishes the magazine Convergência Lusíada (semester) and promotes courses on Literature, Portuguese Language, History, Anthropology and Arts, destined mainly for university students. The history of the Brazilian Academy of Letters is linked to that of the Royal Cabinet, since the first five solemn sessions of the Academy, under the presidency of Machado de Assis, were held here.

If you haven't yet had the chance to visit this library, I highly recommend making it a priority during your time in Rio. This incredible place is truly a sight to behold, with a soaring ceiling and an endless sea of vibrantly colored books that surround you. It's nothing short of amazing! However, I must caution that the area in which the library is located can be a bit rough. While I wouldn't discourage anyone from visiting, it's essential to exercise extra caution and be aware of your surroundings. All things considered, the library is an absolute must-visit for book lovers and anyone who appreciates stunning architecture and design. If you have the opportunity to see it in person, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Lugar lindooooo demais da conta. Super vale a pena fazer uma visita por lá. Mesmo que seja uma visitinha rápida na hora do almoço gente. E quem gosta de Harry Potter vai amar e vai se sentir como se estivesse em Hogwarts 😍 **** This is a beautiful place in the downtown. I've felt like at Hogwarts. So, who likes Harry Potter need to go there. A little visit in lunch time is a good activity in the downtown. It's a great place to go and appreciate the architecture. The place open from Monday to Friday, 9AM to 6PM. And it is free!!! I've really fallen in love white Royal Portuguese Reading Room and I recommend you to go there.

I think words are not enough to describe how I was feeling in that place, but I will try. This place is historical and it's part of the city's and country's formation. Through its architecture we see the royal priorities about expending resources. Also, it's a good practice note the details in that architecture, for they are a lot. When we go inside and see those book walls it's a unique feeling, but look to the top of the room is so beautiful (I uploaded a pic of it below) that I can't explain. Thus, that's a singular place that you really should go if you're in Rio de Janeiro.
