Cărturești Carusel, Boutique bookstore in Old Town, Romania
The Carturesti Carusel bookstore occupies six floors of a restored 19th-century building, featuring white spiral staircases and ornate iron railings throughout the space.
This building, constructed in 1903 as a banking house, underwent extensive renovation before reopening as a modern bookstore in 2015, preserving its architectural elements.
The establishment hosts regular literary events, art exhibitions, and creative workshops while maintaining a collection of books in multiple languages for international readers.
Located at Strada Lipscani 55, the bookstore includes a café on the top floor and offers an extensive selection of literature, music, stationery, and Romanian design items.
The central atrium extends through all six floors, allowing natural light to illuminate the white interior through a glass ceiling structure.
