Now you&#8217;ll know where they are and how to visit them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see lots of beautiful literary pictures on the web every day. Book sculptures, book fountains, beautiful old libraries, or cozy bookshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our friends share them on Facebook or Twitter, usually with a short text such as &#8220;love it!&#8221; or &#8220;absolutely beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-background has-system-sans-serif-font-family is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#dedede;border-width:1px;background-color:#ffffff;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-top:1em;padding-right:1.5em;padding-bottom:1em;padding-left:1.5em\"><ul class=\"has-dates has-small-font-size wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/top-free-ebooks-christmas-2023\/'>Free ebooks for Christmas 2023: here are the top 20 downloads<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-12-15T14:05:39+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Dec 15, 2023<\/time> <\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/best-personalized-library-gifts\/'>12 best personalized gifts for librarians and library supporters<\/a><\/div><time datetime=\"2023-11-18T11:11:37+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-rss__item-publish-date\">Nov 18, 2023<\/time> <\/li><\/ul><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is these literary places exist not only on photos. They are real. You can see them. And sometimes they are surprisingly close to major attractions of the city you are going to visit quite soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve made homework and found some of the most beautiful literary places on Google Maps. Seeing a location on Google Street View is one step closer to deciding to see it in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll know the address, and &#8211; thanks to Google Street View &#8211; you can immediately see the direct neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you will notice right away, even the most fantastic and picturesque places (such as Shakespeare &amp; Company in Paris) look not so attractive on Google Street View. That&#8217;s why, below each Google Maps frame, we&#8217;ve added a photo or photos (most of them are also from Google Maps or Panoramio) so that you can recognize the place, and compare impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple lesson is that there are lots of amazing literary spots in the cities we visit, but they may come unnoticed just because we haven&#8217;t had time or energy to go inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are planning a trip to any of the cities listed below, make sure to add to your list of things to do these beautiful bookish spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enlarge each Google Street View image and start exploring the neighborhood, click on &#8220;View on Google Maps&#8221; link in the top-left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to add a literary location to this list? Please leave a suggestion in the comments or on social media.
