Collectors Treasury

Visiting Johannesburg without checking out Collectors Treasury is like never going at all. With millions of items on its shelves, this is the largest shop of used and rare books on the entire African continent, and we wouldn’t judge you if you spent hours exploring its floor-to-ceiling shelves.

Bridge Books

One of the most popular independent bookstores in downtown Johannesburg, Bridge Books puts an effort into showcasing African writers, but international titles are also on sale.

Love Books

Located in the Melville neighborhood, this bookstore is known for its cozy décor and quaint atmosphere. It has an amazing children’s selection and hosts frequent events for kids.

L’Elephant Terrible

If you’re a huge fan of second-hand bookstores, this quaint shop is just the place you need. Located inside the 44 Stanley complex, L’Elephant Terrible perfectly captures the vibe of this retro shopping complex and it will win you over with its cozy vibe and crowded bookshelves.

Do Your Research

Use Google, Instagram, Pinterest, and all the other internet tools at your disposal to find all the amazing bookstores that the city has in store. If your time is limited, make a list of priorities, and visit the most beautiful bookstores that are in close proximity to each other.

Ask Around

Even if your research is very thorough, you probably won’t be able to discover every bookstore there is, especially if you’re visiting a small country and don’t speak the native language. Luckily, you can always ask locals for recommendations or simply walk around a new city and discover amazing new things along the way.

Leave with Memories

After learning everything there is to know about bookstores you’re checking out, you should leave with something that will remind you of your visit. You can take a picture, buy a souvenir, or pick a book that you want to take home with you.

Libreria Acqua Alta (meaning bookstore of high water) sells books, magazines, and maps—all stacked in bathtubs, waterproof bins, and even a gondola. The whole vibe is amazing —the bookstore’s fire escape is actually a door leading directly into a canal. There are several stray cats feeling at home here which only makes the place more perfect.

Over half of the books being sold here are new, but there are also plenty of used and vintage editions that make the hunt very exciting. When you first arrive at its door, you won’t be sure if you’re in the right place, but one step inside will prove that it was all worth it.

The bookstore’s address is 5173 Calle Lunga and it’s very close to Scuola Grande di San Marco.

The Otis and Clementine’s Books and Coffee owner Ellen Helmke came up with the idea of rescuing kittens around a year ago. One unexpected consequence of this was the increase of social media buzz about her store, which got her more customers than ever before. People who visit are thrilled to hang out with the cats and they often take photos and post them on social media, spreading the word about this lovely store.

How amazing would it be if every city had a bookstore that’s also a foster home for kittens? Until that happens, head to Nova Scotia if you have a chance and enjoy the adorable atmosphere of this amazing bookstore/café.
