Librari Adrion Tirana

A place for book lovers

""Librari Adrion" in Tirana is a great bookshop - it's central, it has every book you want, and they have great couches to sit and read in!"

I need to point out the positive things about Librari Adrion or maybe what makes it better than other places so:

1. It is in the center of the city, so there's no chance that you can't find it. While you visit the Skanderbeg statue, you might also take a break to go buy an amazing book for example;

2. I've started to believe they have every book you want, even in different languages (probably not the one to summon the devil, but a lot of other great, old and new books from different genres)

3. They have these tiny couches where you can sit and read while in the store. Also if you haven't made up your mind on what book to buy yet, you can decide while still there.

The only negative thing I can think of, sometimes it's too crowded there since it's one of the most famous bookstores in Tirana and it might be a problem if you just felt like going there to read some good stuff. But all bookworms probably know the feeling of waiting in order to read an awesome book. And yeah, I could literally spend the whole day there!
