Cărturești Carusel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cărturești Carusel is one of the most beautiful bookstores I’ve ever visited! The architecture is simply stunning — bright, elegant, and full of charm. Every floor offers a unique atmosphere, combining books, art, and culture in a magical way. It’s not just a bookstore, but a true cultural experience in the heart of Bucharest. The café upstairs is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the view of this magnificent space. A must-visit place for book lovers and anyone who appreciates beauty and creativity! 📚✨☕️

Visiting Cărturești in Bucharest is an absolute must-do, even if you're not a bookworm. Stepping inside the Cărturești Carusel location in the Old Town is a truly magical experience. The moment you walk through the door, you're immediately struck by the stunning, almost ethereal architecture. The space is a brilliant white, with sweeping, curving staircases that seem to float as they spiral up through the central atrium. It's a breathtaking, multi-story space with delicate columns reaching toward the glass roof and books lining the walls up to the very top. It's so much more than just a bookstore. Beyond the huge selection of books, which includes a great number of English titles, each floor feels like a new discovery. There are sections dedicated to all sorts of unique and creative goods, from beautifully designed stationery and quirky notebooks to designer pens, unique games, and an amazing array of local products. You can also find a fantastic selection of music and local wines. On the top floor, there’s a lovely cafe where you can grab a coffee or a drink, sit down, and just soak in the incredible view of the bustling streets below, a stark contrast to the quiet calm inside. It truly feels like a cultural haven, an amazing escape from the busy and loud streets outside. It's a place to get lost for a while, to simply wander and appreciate the beauty of the space. Cărturești is absolutely worth a visit just to experience the stunning atmosphere, and it's the perfect spot to find a unique souvenir or simply to enjoy a moment of inspiring calm. Also I wanted to exchange something without my receipt and they were so kind to allow for it.

Cool space. Solid offering of books, gifts and games. Discounted goods section on the ground floor by the elevator. Good kids section including a reading corner. Cafe and toilets on top floor.

It’s a nice library, although I wouldn’t say the most beautiful in the world like people describe it to be. The staff are attentive and there’s a cafe in the top floor, it’s a little expensive for average Bucharest prices, but I guess it compensates because you can sit and read a book while having coffee. The WiFi password is librarie

Cărturești Carusel is a wonderful must-see bookstore — and more than just books! It’s a great space to relax and read, with a beautiful café on the top floor. The design and architecture are stunning, making it very photogenic. There’s also a wide variety of books and other items, perfect for souvenirs or gifts. 😊

One of my favorite places in Bucharest tbh. Beautiful, cozy, calm, lots of different books and pretty good coffee place. Highly recommend even just to visit for a little walk

The entire structure is beautiful, designed specifically for visitors. If you're a book lover, you might want to stop and look at everything and want everything. Prices are also affordable for tourists. The only flaw is that the bar upstairs closes too early and from there there is a nice view

This bookstore is amazing!! It’s super beautiful, has 4 floors and a huge selection of English books. The staff is super friendly, I found a book that was scratched and they immediately got me a new version from the back. The cafe on the top floor is cute, offers good pastries and a great view of the store. They also have a good offer of bookish merchandise.
