Feltrinelli Bookstores — Local services in Padua

One of the coolest place in Padova. I liked the decoration, who they divide the place in sections. child section is supercoold with lots of books and some games. The atmosphere is good too.

They can improve the English sections by increasing the number of available books, variety (instead of fiction foreign books) and quality! I think the section for foreign books is the only cons of this place. But I like to go there look around and spend time...

English is usually not spoken by the clerks, but I found other patrons can be helpful....
