Orell Füssli Basel

Long heralded as the place to go for English language books in Switzerland, Orell Füssli’s new Basel branch continues the trend with a smart modern interior spread over three storeys. As you’d expect, the store boasts an extensive selection of English language books, from travel to crime to non-fiction to children’s titles. There’s a family department (featuring a wooden playhouse for kids), a cosy café – Barfüssli – and regular events and author readings. It’s also a popular meeting place for expats.
