The academic book shop is a rare treat.

Its the largest book store in Scandinavia, and also one of the most beautiful.

Designed by Alvar Aalto, but of course 😉

The Academic Bookstore is a quality bookstore in modern time. The Academic Bookstore offers a wide selection of books, office- and stationery supplies, and it also has a small café in the back of the store. Hours can be spend here for both children and adults. Small couch corners are implemented in the corners of the store and with more than 450.000 books the selection is wide and ready to accommodate different taste and age group.

A visit to this amazing space should be a must for all tourists visiting Helsinki.
