This specialty bookstore tucked away in the corner of a street offers some of the best travel books you can ever lay your hands on. Travel Book Shop's unassuming demeanor is quite misleading and gives no indication of the treasure of knowledge it confines. Maps and books in German and English are strewn all over the place and so are several pictorial atlases and brochures. Probably the only travel bookshop in the city, it is touted to have one of the most exhaustive map collections in Europe. Travel Book Shop also stocks trekking maps to guide back-packers from all around the world. If you don't know where you are headed , it is strongly recommended that you pay a visit here first.
