English Bookshops In Rome
(2 votes, average: 4.00 out of 5)
Loading...There are a number of bookstores in Rome selling English books.
Some are large and modern, located in contemporary palazzi, with elevators and computer-clad information desks, making you feel as though you really are living in the 21st century. Others are tiny, occupying unlikely spaces in medieval buildings, perhaps with completely illogical layouts, or even with irregularly formed walls. Nevertheless, they are filled to the ceiling with books, thus conveying a thrilling sense of discovery and of carrying their visitors across time to days far gone.
Below is an (incomplete) list of the most important English bookstores, old and new. Please note that all information posted here is indicative, and that it was true to the best of our knowledge at the time of posting.
