As a tourist who can't speak German, I still wanted to visit a bookstore! When I went in, I asked…read moreat the counter, and the staff member told me they take American Express, so I started to look around. Huge selection of books, school supplies, gifts, and much more. I was inside for almost 2 hours.
It is quiet, but the staff was attentive to those needing help. There was a visiting author on the second floor that I would have loved to sit in on, but it was obviously in German, so I didn't.
There is only one small area with books in other languages, about 200 titles in English, and a few in other languages. All of the books looked like either recent releases or the classics....I had a hard time resisting buying too many to fit in my suitcase!
When I paid for my items, they put the small things in a paper bag, but on my way out I found a beautiful German copy of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice for only €9....it's coming home with me! I went back in and bought a cute tote bag to carry it on my walk....the tote was €2.50, but it's another souvenir!
