The best bookshops Berlin

This sumptuous bookstore, which extends under several of the arches that support the S-Bahn tracks, is a veritable Ali Baba's cavern for art books and specialist literature (cinema, dance, theatre, design, fashion, architecture, etc.). It has many books in English and a good selection in French. There are even the Cahiers du Cinéma, that's to say! If you stroll around Savignyplatz or the Ku'damm, take the time to stop by, you might leave with a book on Berlin or Charlottenburg.

This small, committed French bookstore is located in the heart of the former squatter's quarter, which has become a tourist and bourgeois district, and is valiantly trying to resist the onslaught of gentrification. You'll find the great literary classics, but you'll also find more specialized books on Berlin. A wide range of novels, comics, and children's books. The bookstore is bright, and the booksellers are a good source of advice.

To continue the cultural adventure at the exit of the Museum Island or at the bend of a stroll in the district of Mitte, this very charming bookstore, small in size but young and bright, welcomes you and offers you a beautiful assortment of books and magazines from all over the world. The themes of architecture, photography and design are particularly well represented, making it an institution in this district rich in art galleries. In the same street, just across the street, you will find, for example, the very remarkable Galerie Deschler.
