4 Impressive Bookstores Worth Visiting Around the World
Housing Works Bookstore Cafe & Bar (New York, America)
As part of a non-profit organization, the bookstore donates its income to help with AIDS and homelessness. The spiral stair leading to the second floor of books gives the feeling of an old-style library in the heart of New York’s chic Soho area.
EI Ateneo Grand Splendid (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
This book store changed from a 1919 theater become a special connection between the performing arts and books. It keeps the fresco (壁画)ceiling and velvet curtains of the former theater. Books line the walls, including where the audience once sat in the box seats.
Word on the Water (London, England)
This floating bookstore on the Regent’s Canal is known as “The London Bookbarge (书)”. Moving around before, it has now found a home where visitors can come over all year round, getting warm by a wood burning fire in winter and enjoying music and art performances on the rooftop stage in summer.
Zhongshuge Bookstore (Hangzhou, China)
Each location of this Chinese chain is architecturally unique, but the location in Hangzhou stands apart. Stairs and seats built into round bookshelves combined with mirrored ceilings give the optical illusion of never-ending books.

The modern and navigable (可航行的) city of Copenhagen combines the best of European cafe culture and Scandinavian architecture and design. It’s charming and compact, with lots of local history to dive into. Although spending time in Copenhagen can become expensive, there are many ways to experience the city on a budget as well.
Like Amsterdam, Copenhagen is one of the world’s best cycling cities. To see the city with ease, rent a bike or take a small group tour to see the sights, including the Little Mermaid, the island of Amager, and the community of Christiania. You can also take a canal boat tour to see the city from a unique perspective. The Tivoli Gardens offer a sense of romance in the evenings, and there are some excellent museums to explore. Make sure to add the National Museum/Ny Garlsberg Glyptotek, and the Museum of Art and Design to your travel itinerary (旅行日程).
If you are a beer lover, you can enjoy learning about the brewing process and tasting some samples at the Carlsberg Museum. And fashionistas will enjoy taking a wander down Stroget to browse designer goods, jewelry, and china. For a unique take on the standard museum experience, make a point to visit the Experimentarium and Museum Erotica during your stay. If you visit between June and August, it might be warm enough to take a swim at Copencabana on Vesterbro or Havnebadet at Island Brygge on Amager.
Kastrup Airport is how most visitors arrive to Copenhagen by plane, and it typically takes less than 15 minutes to get from the airport to the city center by mainline train. Public transportation is easily accessible from the Central Station and Norreport Station, which are hubs (中心) for intercity trains and buses. Canal boat tours are the easiest way to see the city’s attractions. Cycling is the fastest and most flexible way to get around, and it’s a refreshingly pedestrian-friendly city as well. Take a wander down Stroget, the longest and oldest pedestrians-only shopping street in Europe.
