The Most Unique Bookstore I've Ever Walked Into: Giunti Odeon

Giunti Odeon is a must-visit for your next trip to Florence, Italy. It was the most unique bookstore I've ever walked into. Steeped in art and history in the heart of Florence, Giunti Odeon is both a working bookshop and cinema, with daily book readings, presentations, exhibitions, concerts, and Italian films.  To sit in the cushy vintage theatre seats of the balcony and listen to Italian authors read and explain their craft is a bucket list moment for any bookstore lover. During my visit, I met the sweetest employee who helped me find some new Italian-inspired books for the flight home which truly completed the experience. Truly a must-experience bookstore!
