Atlantis Books in Santorini, Greece.

Atlantis is really just a big treasure cave for book lovers filled with tons of character and charm. The walls are full of messages to go over as you look through the many shelves of books around each corner.

Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon.

This indie bookstore was once a car dealership which means that while it not be as fancy as a former church or a theater, it's definitely enormous. The store is a well-known Portland landmark and a good reminder of the fact that people still appreciate new books, writers and titles.

Librairie Avant-Garde in Nanjing, China.

Moving on with the theme of cars, welcome to one of the world's only car garages converted to a bookstore. You can still see the yellow line on the floor as you look around and enjoy the simplistic but modern design.

Books Actually in Tiong Bahru, Singapore.

A refreshing and quirky mix of classic and modern, this bookstore has a collection of books that matches its appearance. Indie titles, local authors, and plenty of cute little knick-knacks sit next to modern classical books. It’s a small but intimate book store, the kind you think of when you picture the ideal bookstore in your favorite book.

Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal.

The old saying "don’t judge a book by its cover" is a perfect match for this "little" gem. The unassuming exterior of the store hides its beautiful rich dark wood, a sweeping staircase and stained glass windows. It is one of Portugal’s oldest bookstores and a much recommended place to visit for just about anyone.
