Secondhand in Kraków, Poland · since 2001
A rambling English-language bookshop and café near the Vistula, founded in 2001, where rooms of used and new books open onto a café serving cake among the shelves. Particularly good for Polish, East European and Jewish literature in English translation.
The Atlas currently lists 872 active bookshops across 272 towns and cities in Poland. This is the number in our directory, not a claim that every shop in the area has been recorded.
85 listed shops are categorised as selling secondhand books. Stock changes frequently; ask a shop directly if you need a particular book.
The Atlas displays available source information. A listing without opening hours or access details is incomplete, not necessarily closed or inaccessible. Check each shop's website and confirm anything essential before travelling.
Yes. Send the shop's name, location and a reliable website or other source. Suggestions and corrections are reviewed before changing the Atlas.
