 The Academic Bookstore |
39 Pohjoisesplanadi Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 121 41 |
With 450,000 titles in stock, the Academic Bookstore is the largest bookshop in town and one of the largest in Europe. You will find everything here: books, newspapers and magazines and stationery. You can even order newspapers or magazines here. The shop has a good selection of literature in English and other foreign languages, as well as numerous books about Finns and Finland. You will be served in Swedish and English, as well as Finnish. At Micronia, on the lower ground floor, you can buy computing equipment, including software, hardware and accessories. Within the shop is also café Aalto, where you can enjoy refreshments in an environment designed by Alvar Aalto himself. Its own bakery produces an excellent variety of pastries and pies, and the café serves tasty lunches. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 One of the best |
35 Fredrikinkatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 649 291 |
This antiquarian bookshop is the best place in town if you are searching for Nordic literature, but it is not cheap. The interior is very interesting even for window-shoppers, decorated with skulls. The Hagelstam family also hold antiques auctions. This shop will serve you in Swedish or English as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bookshop for children |
61 Fredrikinkatu Helsinki 00100 Finland +358 9 694 4420 |
In this bookshop the child is the king. Everything that a nice bookshop for kids should have is included here, including books, games, toys, music and art and craft materials. Adults are welcome as well—to help with the shopping. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Second-hand Store Seppo Hiltunen Ky |
6 C Sofiankatu Helsinki 00170 Finland +358 9 627 161 |
Philosophy, theology, history, politics, literature, science and mystery are all among this humanity and theology-based second-hand bookstore specialties. It is a shop meant especially for students, founded in the 1930s; the same family owns it still. The services are very good and prices are reasonable, but always have cash on you, as they don't take cards. Hiltunen is easy to find between Senate Square and Kauppatori, and if you still need advice on where to find it, ask: everybody in Helsinki knows where Hiltunen is. Review © 2007, Wcities |
