Foreign language bookstores in Budapest

Budapest has many bookstands on the streets and a number of larger bookstores. While the street stands mostly offer dime novels, and the smaller shops usually specialize in a particular field (e.g. technical, music, etc.), the bigger stores have a wide variety of foreign language books. The largest bookstore in Hungary is the Alexandra Bookhouse, with a store on the Nyugati square and another one on Móricz Zsigmond Körtér. The Nyugati branch fills a five-story building and is open late into the night. Although it feels a bit unorganized, at least all the books in foreign languages can be found together. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, your next bet would be the Libri store on Rákóczi street, between Astoria and Blaha Lujza square. This shop focuses less on dime novels, and more on technical and political literature, with a wide selection of foreign language books. If you cannot find the book you are looking for in either of these places, there are a few foreign language bookstores throughout the city, the most well-known is probably the British one in Váci street. And, as a last resort, most of the bigger book store networks have stores on the internet, too, where you can browse and order all the supply of the stores, and even more (www.libri.hu is a good example). The delivery is cheap and relatively fast (2-3 days at most), but the books themselves usually cost a bit more than their list price in the US or the UK. N.
