Ian Bourgeot offers a warm cup of tea and a wide selection of books in Arkadia International Bookshop.

Arkadia International Bookshop became a part of Helsinki life when Ian Bourgeot opened its doors in March 2008.

Arkadia provides a broad range of second-hand book, and a gathering place to enjoy a show or discuss all sort of cultural topics in a friendly atmosphere.

Arkadia’s bookshelves hold a comprehensive collection of books in English and other languages. Free weekly cultural evenings make Arkadia a different and special bookshop. The events include scholarly and book presentations, poetry and literature, plays, political debates or concerts while enjoying a cup of green tea and feeling relaxed.

The intellect and culture highly present in Helsinki, can certainly be found in Arkadia the perfect place to rediscover the importance of the written word in our society. Technology and the Internet have brought to our lives e-books and audio-books which can be easily stored in our virtual library and yet, the feeling of holding a book while resting in our comfortable chair is a heartwarming experience.
