Add this bookshop café to your Berlin list >>

Minoa in Prenzlauer Berg combines an independent bookshop with a café that works just as well for breakfast as it does for a long afternoon with a book. Good coffee, plenty of space to sit and opening hours that make it easy to stay longer.

The location is part of the appeal. Prenzlauer Berg is full of independent cafés, small shops and bookshops, so leave some time to continue exploring the neighbourhood afterwards.

Save this for your next Berlin trip.

A literary Berlin stop for books, breakfast and good coffee.

Minoa in Prenzlauer Berg is part bookshop, part café and the kind of place where staying for a few hours is completely normal. Come for breakfast, bring a book or your laptop and settle in for the morning. It’s young, lively and open well into the evening, so it works just as well for studying or a late coffee.

Prenzlauer Berg deserves some time afterwards, too. The neighbourhood is full of independent cafés, small shops and bookshops within walking distance.

Start here, then leave plenty of time for the bookshops around Prenzlauer Berg.

Save this for your next Berlin trip. 💕📚

An independent neighbourhood bookshop in Friedenau with a carefully selected range of literature and a particularly beautiful interior.

5. ocelot, not just another bookstore
A spacious contemporary bookshop in Prenzlauer Berg with books, magazines and a café under one roof.

If you’re planning a literary trip to Paris, don’t miss this place.

The Bibliothèque nationale de France – BnF Richelieu- is one of the city’s most remarkable literary spaces.

Right in the heart of Paris, this historic library combines centuries of French literary history with beautifully restored reading rooms, quiet courtyards and architecture that’s worth seeing even if you don’t open a single book.

It’s one of those places that reminds you why Paris has remained a city of writers, readers and publishers for generations.

If you’re planning a literary trip to Paris, don’t just visit the bookshops. Make time for the libraries too.

Save this literary place for your next visit to Paris.
