Entering is already magical ... despite the number of people there is an atmosphere of a book tale of bibliitecs.... wood.... shelves ... smell of books.... thousands of them.... The interior is amazingly beautiful with its floors and ceiling.... It is a beautiful place full of stories waiting to be told or read.

The architecture of this bookshop, especially the typical interior. But too many people, even at lunchtime...

Guess I must have missed the part about losing the app before going. Slight delay at the door. Extremely crowded but interesting and beautiful inside

In spite of the large crowd, we got in nearly in the exact time. Was worthy to buy tickets online, made it all easy. Just to queue in the specified time and be patience. The place is a bit small for so many people but security people ard helping to move one group in one way and let other ones follow. Beautiful library, very unique, absolutely worth to visit 🥰👍👍👍👍
