What the map tells us about bookstores in Moscow
248 of the 356 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — bookshops keep civilised hours, so the listed ones are usually reliable.
229 have websites listed. Worth a look for events — readings and signings get announced there first.
Most of the bookstores in Moscow list a phone number. Useful for checking whether a specific title is in stock before you visit.
5 of the shops are tagged as selling used books — the second-hand shelves are where out-of-print gems and first editions turn up for pocket change.
The Moscow bookstore crawl
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Книги, Дом книги, Дом технической книги, Карандаш on 16/1 улица Дзержинского, Москва on 8 к1 Тверская улица, Книжный, Читай-город, and Мир Школьника. That's 356 stops on the Moscow bookstore crawl. 348 more are listed below.
Bookstore tips for Moscow
A few things worth knowing before you work through Moscow's bookstores:
- Magazines and journals matter at Книги. The little-magazine rack is where new writers appear first. Cheap, weird, and full of discoveries.
- Check for a café corner at Дом книги. A bookshop with coffee is a trap in the best way. Plan accordingly; you won't be leaving soon.
- Poetry lives in bookshops. Poetry barely exists online as a browsing experience. The poetry shelf in a real shop is a different world.
- Check the cookbook section. Cookbooks are the most browsed and least bought section, which means the used shelf is full of barely-touched gems.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Moscow — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new bookstore in Moscow can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 356, or a bookstore we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't list prices — they change constantly and vary by edition. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers, in alphabetical order with no favourites.
If you run one of the 356 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Bookstore listings for Moscow: 356 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
