Bookstores are one of the most underrated tourist attractions on the market, but you should consider putting them on your bucket list. Even if you’re not a passionate bookworm, you’ll find something inside them worth exploring, and you should give them a visit for more reasons than one.
Book Cafés
Bookstores often come with their own tiny café and that makes them a great place to sit back and relax with a cup of coffee and a good book after a long day of sightseeing.
Amazing Architecture
Some of the world’s most beautiful bookstores are worth the visit for their architecture alone. They tend to be located inside stunting historic buildings that look truly impressive inside and out.
Local Culture
Bookstores will do a great job exposing you to local culture. In addition to selling books in the local language, they also often host events, from reading nights and book clubs to art exhibitions and mini-concerts.
Book Collection
A visit to a bookstore in a foreign country allows you to enrich your book collection with new titles that you couldn’t have found at home.
Great Souvenir
Even if you don’t intend to buy any books for yourself, bookstores are a great place to find souvenirs for your loved ones who enjoy reading.
