Or just flip through the pages and admire the beautiful photographs. The perfect place to stock up for moments like these is Book Therapy. This bookstore is more than just a place to buy books—it’s an oasis of calm and inspiration. Its interior is cozy and sophisticated, with wooden shelves filled with carefully selected titles.

The ideal place to pick up a new book—even one in a foreign language—is the Book Therapy bookstore in Vinohrady, located at Římská 35. Photo: company archive.

To create the perfect at-home reading atmosphere, we recommend picking up one of Pigmentarium’s home fragrances or a scented candle from Meadows along with your book. And if you’ve ever wondered, during an evening stroll through the quiet city, what it would be like to be inside one of the empty stores, you can try it out at Book Therapy. They offer private tours that will be an unforgettable experience—especially if you pair them with, say, a glass of bubbly.
