Romania
walk around the recently pedestrianised historic centre of Bucharest before it is renovated and stumble on little gems of shops, bars, old-school tailors, fur shops etc.
between Universitate and Piata Unirii
It's a tea house and bookshop all in one. Pleasant, hedonistic atmosphere. Nice music and helpful staff.
Right by Patria Cinema.
