Humanitas Cişmigiu is located in the former reception area of the historic Hotel Palace at 38 Regina Elisabeta Boulevard, Sector 5, just steps away from Cișmigiu Gardens. After years of vacancy, it was redesigned and reopened in 2012 as a contemporary bookstore featuring distinctive boat‑shaped lighting fixtures and a spacious, naturally lit interior . The shop blends sleek bookshelves, dedicated reading corners, and an in-house café—a serene spot where the scent of books meets freshly brewed coffee. It also serves as a genuine cultural hub, regularly hosting book launches, conferences, and exhibitions

Visitors range from avid readers of Romanian and international literature to art enthusiasts drawn by the bookstore’s active cultural calendar. The high ceilings and bright, modern finishes respect the space’s historical roots while offering contemporary charm. Recognized as one of central Bucharest’s most appealing reading and social venues, it stands as a vibrant urban gathering point.

How to get there: Easily reached via Izvor (M1) or Universitate (M2) metro stations, as well as multiple buses and trams; Cișmigiu Gardens serve as a nearby landmark.
