There World history inside a museum
Few years ago while visiting Vienna I had the chance to stop by the museum of Ethnology and it was fantastic.
Part of its numbers just amazes me, over 400,000 objects from all over the world and even if some people complains about this, I believe that they are doing a great job taking care of them

Bookstore in the vaults of a medieval church!
Imagine walking into a medieval church and instead of the usual thing, you ended up surrounded by thousands of books in Dutch and English, well this is the Dominicanen bookshop in the heart of Maastricht in the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Well, this became one of my favorite bookshops that I visited in 2019 during that trip to Europe and it has been in my memory ever since, so I recommend it to anyone who is visiting the city.
Address: Dominicanerkerkstraat 1, 6211 CZ Maastricht, Netherlands

Book Xcess MyTown
This bookstore is the biggest BookXcess bookstore I have ever visited. I loved the interior design that made me feel like I wanted to stay in the store for hours. I am impressed that bookshelves were curated and artworks displayed on selected walls for purchase.
I also noticed there was a Japanese restaurant and a cafe located inside the store, which to me is convenient if readers want to eat after browsing for books, stationaries, artwork and board games.
There was also enough space for people to come and work or study, or even hang out. And a piano is placed inside the store to allow anyone to play it publicly, which is super cool! I will come again.

Garden Books - Shanghai
A coffee shop in a random street of Shanghai isn’t exactly something unusual but Garden Books is different. As you enter there’s a florist with a cafe and an abundance of old style books.
The drinks are a little more expensive, a juice costs 40RMB but the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. You can happily sit here and read or work, borrow one of the books from the shelves and enjoy.

Artsy lady sculpture
Address - THINK Stationery Store, Funan Shopping Centre, 107 North Bridge Road, #02-15, Singapore 179105
If you ever visit Funan Shopping Centre, be sure to pop by THINK Stationery Store to check out this super interesting centerpiece in the shop! It is truly attention-grabbing and there’s no way you can miss it even if you’re just walking past.
My husband and I were here because we’re both huge stationery fans and this shop is known for their lifestyle stationery products. Although the items are slightly pricier, we believe the quality and functionality is worth paying for!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not another boring bookstore!🥳📚🔖✨
Tired of boring bookstores? No worries 😁 Let me introduce: Zhongshuge! This amazing bookstore is visually appealing with its mirrored ceilings creating this reflective illusion of symmetry, an oval room with stepped shelves lined with lights underlining its shape and a kid’s reading room with a rollercoaster inspired interior! 📚🎢🪞
In the centre, there’s a corridor with tables and bookshelves on both sides. There’s also a coffee bar where you can grab a coffee and sit around with a book. I saw people working on their laptops, but I wouldn’t personally recommend as the bookstore was pretty crowded and pretty noisy. You can easily feel overwhelmed with people constantly on the move around you as the bookstore isn’t so big. Most books are Chinese books. Some books have English titles but they were translated versions.
Nevertheless it’s a great spot to snap nice photos and appreciate a creative and visually appealing interior 🤗
Address: Zhongshuge 钟书阁, Binjiang Star Avenue
江南大道星光国际广场4-213号
How to go ➡️ I took metro 🚇 line 1 to Jiangling Road and walked for 15 mins to Star Avenue (It’s a mall and the bookstore is upstairs)

Columbia O: A magical bookstore
Columbia Circle is a heritage building complex located in Yan’an area. Tsutaya Bookstore is a very popular Japanese bookstore. Located in the center of the buildings complex, and resembling more a museum than a contemporary bookstore. This is the only Tsutaya Bookstore in Shanghai.
Tsutaya offers two floors of coffee shops (3), a small crafts and many books to buy from. Architecture is breathtaking. Terrace was close in our visit. To enter the bookstore you need to make reservation, don’t be surprised if next available spot is in a week time. If you come early in a rainy day, maybe will be able to enter without waiting (like us).
📍 Yan'an West Road 1262 Haonan 90 Meters, Changning

Light Space: A Bookstore by Tadao Ando
Located in the massive Aegean Place Shopping Center is Light Space Xinhua Bookstore. An amazing place to relax, this space was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando with the goal of creating a place where people, books, and culture can intermingle.
Over 4000 square meters in size, the pristine environment features wood fittings and tall, arched shelves packed with books. The 7th floor is an open area where you can take in a full view of the whole store.
Tables are set up around the store’s coffee bar and students can often be seen doing homework and studying. Next to the coffee bar are stairs leading to the 8th floor, where the high bookshelves are set against a blue, starry sky, creating a spacious area that almost appears to have light coming in directly from the outside.
If you’re looking for a new bookstore experience in Shanghai, be sure not to miss this one.

The first branch of its kind to open in Shanghai, Tsutaya Books 📚 can be found in Columbia Circle in a villa that used to be the residence of Sun Yat Sen’s son. The store has been open for a just couple of months but has already taken Chinese social media by storm.
A number of unique books can be found in Tsutaya - many of which we haven’t really found at other bookstores. Among them, there’s a particularly large selection of books related to art, as well as architecture and design. There’s also a small section of books in English.
The store’s interior is characterized by narrow hallways and old fashioned woodwork, offering a contrast to many of Shanghai's newly opened, ultramodern stores. It’s worth a visit even if to just check out the architecture. Sculptures and other pieces of art can be found scattered among the shelves and shelves of books.
A café can be found on the first floor just as you walk in. On the second floor, you’ll find a restaurant with Japanese-American style fusion cuisine. Try out dishes like gyoza hot wings , beer steamed mussels, and cheese ebi chili. Cocktails with literature-inspired names are also on the menu, like Between Calmness and Passion and Theory of Relativity. A meal with drinks will average out at around CNY300 per person.
In all of its splendor, this bookstore is quite popular among locals looking for the next insta-worthy shot. For this reason, you’ll have to make a reservation in advance on the store’s WeChat mini program if you want to visit.
📍 Location: Columbia Circle, 1262 West Yan’an Road

Located not far from Fudan University is used bookstore that looks nondescript from the outside, but is full of hidden gems. In business for over 20 years, Fudan Secondhand Books has two floors and countless stacks of used books 📚📚📚.
The fun of the experience is rummaging through the shelves or the piles of books on the floor (and steps leading up to the second floor) in search of a book that piques your interest. You’ll find books covering topics ranging from engineering and history to poetry and comics. Due to its location next to some of Shanghai’s most well-known universities, you’re sure to run into a few students and professors during your visit.
While many of the books are in Chinese, some foreign language books can also be found. Prices are often cheaper than Taobao.
Because of planned renovations on Zhengsu Road (the street the store is located on), the book store has been asked to close or relocate within the next two months. If you’re interested, be sure to make the trip over before it’s too late.
Fudan Second Hand Books
📍 Location: 2nd Floor, 55 Zhengsu Road, Yangpu District
🚇 Metro: Around 10 mins by foot from exit 4 of Guoquan Road station on line 10

Don’t think Korea doesn’t suit a bibliophile!
I was walking HoeHyeon shopping centre and I happened to find out a wall of books. A secondhanded bookstore that I never imagined in Korea the lover of shoppers! Inside the corridor is so narrow that there can only fit one person! But many books I have not discovered inside.
And don’t think there only lies Korean books. English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese… and many variety of books you would find out there! If you are a bibliophile who thinks there is no bookstore for you in your trip in Korea, make sure to visit it!
