City Center
It is easy to get lost in the sprawling multilingual Stauffacher (also owned by Orell Füssli), emporium of books, maps, and multimedia, but there are far worse fates. The substantial English Bookshop occupies the third floor of the west wing; regular readings (some in English) are held in the Café Littéraire.
