Saint Georges

Prenzlauer Berg


Laid-back and low-key, Saint Georges bookshop is a sterling spot to track down new and used English-language fiction and nonfiction. The selection includes plenty of rare and out-of-print books as well as a big shelf of literature by German and international authors translated into English.

When you're done, you can even return the book for 50% store credit on the purchase price.
