Sadly it will doubtlessly become yet another Gucci or D&G boutique - which interests me not!

Actually they were so concerned about their maps that they often seemed reluctant to show them to customers! Service there was pretty Soviet IMO. And actually I've heard that it will become a BMW motorrad shop! (haha, just kidding).

No real logical order to them, but worth a browse on a lunch time!

I've been to Biblioglobus many times, it is right by my house, but the map selection there has never impressed, partly because it is so poorly organized. I usually look for regional rather than city maps though, so maybe that's the difference. Look forward to seeing you soon. |
