Gigantic bookshop with everything your heart desires. Costs a fraction more than the blue web shop, but I would be happy to wander between the shelves or sink into an armchair with your (upcoming) purchases.

A literary experience. From poetry to comics, from bestsellers to niche literature, from second hand to fresh from the press. Scheltema offers more than just buying books. You can drink coffee while you read a magazine, you can look at a puppet show and there are sofas and armchairs everywhere to throw you in a new book. Enthusiastic and experienced employees and wheelchair accessible!

A cozy bookstore. The inside is clean and fresh. All staff are friendly and friendly. Each of them knows a little German, they speak excellent English. Instead of stairs to the 2nd floor - there are squadrons. You can enter with the dog.

I should actually give 10 stars but unfortunately that is not possible. Super store. So many books. There is something for everyone. Also great that there is a small restaurant / cafe in it or something to drink. And also nice that the staff knows so much about the books. If you want a particular kind of book just ask and they know where it is.

Wonderfully relaxed bookstore with multiple floors and seating areas everywhere for a quiet look in a book. Extensive range of books and magazines. There is also a floor with second-hand books. Events such as lectures, book presentations or a cooking demonstration are regularly organized. There is also a restaurant where you can eat and / or drink. Nice side effect; meanwhile you can charge your mobile in a safe.

Forget the Dam, the Red Light District, the Rijksmuseum. Scheltema would be one of my first tips for a day in Amsterdam. Very well-known bookstore! The interior, the mega-extensive range (nowhere else seen such a large section of foreign-language literature) and the fact that you can drink coffee there (and have lunch) make a visit to this bookstore a party!

Rude staff, even after a complaint email no response. I was a customer here for a very long time, but will never set foot in it again.

As member of a weekly writing group, I end up here every other week. It is a large bookstore, with a huge assortment and staff that knows their titles and can always make recommendations. Because it s located on the Rokin, part of Amsterdam s biggest tourist area, the bookstore is often busy so don t expect a quiet space. There are also very limited nooks to sit for a bit while making up your mind about books, it s actually the only downside to the classic bookstore.
Keep an eye out on their calendar though. Scheltema often hosts book signings, presentation, or other book related activities.
