The 10 best bookstores in Berlin
Berlin is a paradise for bookworms, because the choice is huge, from the small neighborhood bookshop to the stylish scene bookstore. The spacious Einar & Bert Theaterbuchhandlung in Prenzlauer Berg is the only bookshop in the city focused on theater, dance, music and art. The totsicher Krimibuchhandlung follows a special concept, stocking crime fiction exclusively. Do you read me?! has long been more than a bookshop and is a household name for international magazines and selected titles. And Pro qm deserves the label of the most stylish bookseller in the city. In addition, there are addresses like Bucherbogen on Savignyplatz with its focus on architecture, art and design. Whether specialist book or fiction, everyone finds something here. Which bookstore is your favorite retreat?
Ellen Mehrhoff-Roddewig
For this list, I chose bookstores that are more than mere retail floors. I liked the places with a clear signature, whether specialized in theater, crime fiction or art, and the shops where the advice is still driven by a genuine passion for books. I paid attention to the range, the atmosphere and that certain something that invites you to linger.
