About Shakespeare & Sons

Shakespeare and Sons began in Prague in 2002 in a former brothel in the Vrsovice neighborhood, eventually relocating to the charming Mala Strana district to accommodate the ever-growing book collection. In 2011 we opened a second branch in Berlin's Prenzlauerberg, and in 2014 moved again to Friedrichshain to take over the historical bookstore at Warschauerstrasse 74. We also own and operate the Fine Bagels bagel bakery and cafe alongside the book business. Come visit us for a read and a bagel!
