Without denying its origins, the bookstore still believes a book is a king however it also provides free wifi as well as creative cocktails and a selection of wines. The bookcases are lit with Tiffany lamps and visitors can either buy a book or read one on the spot.

One must be a bad mouth if she or he believes that because we’re in the old town of Geneva, the prices are high. It’s quite the opposite; so if you feel like reading a book or having a drink or doing both, head to this Art Nouveau bar just to make sure fairy tales do exist.

PS: the Café Slatkine is also the perfect spot to enjoy an early breakfast and read the newspapers… on paper or your iPad.
