The visit was very good. The golden ticket includes a book, which is available in several languages. We didn't have to wait at all; arriving 10 minutes before the scheduled time is enough.

    Entry was so smooth and easy and the full value of the ticket could be used against the purchase of a book. Stunning bookshop. Totally worth the trip

    It was not worth the money or time. The bookstore was so much smaller than zi imagined and way to crowded to move around. I was ready to leave 5min after I got there
