Bookshops in Copenhagen: Vangsgaards Antikvariat – Fiolstræde 34-36
As I am a true book addicted person, I am stating a new category – Copenhagen Bookshops and Libraries. It will be a kind of a bookshop-guide mostly for English speakers in Denmark, or at least this is what I planed. I was really happy to find that there are a lot of books in English, so I can go book-seeing whenever I want!
I am starting with an antiquarian bookshop at Fiolstræde 34-36, 1171 København K (there is a map below), called Vangsgaards. You can check their website here: http://www.vangsgaards.dk/. They have another bookshop in Århus, but I doubt I’ll have the opportunity to see it. They have a huge catalog and ship books for everywhere, but the most important thing is that no matter how large is this bookshop, you feel really cozy in there.
There are so many bookshelves and books are sorted only in alphabetical order so one could spend a hole day just looking for something and founding some hidden treasures. There are a lot of old maps of the Scandinavian region, some pictures, and a lot of first edition books, which are not my area of interests, but can be quite valuable. It is also possible to find some old, but not so valuable fiction боокс for not more than 20 DKK.
I feel like I can sit here for a hole day, just reading some books and looking for something interesting, without even noticing how time flies.
