Moscow, the capital of the biggest country on the planet, has always been a central spot for the latest trends. The modern capital has been taking on a new look recently with an influx of hipsters, who have been setting trends and dictating what is cool throughout the capital. Here’s where to find the best hipster joints in Moscow.

Respublica Bookstore

If there was an award for the most beloved bookstore in Moscow, Respublica Bookstore would undoubtedly win. Located in the heart of the city surrounded by other small shops, Respublica Bookstore is easy to find and easy to spend hours in. The staff picks are absolutely incredible, and you’ll always find something special. You’ll find fiction and non-fiction books along with a unique fine art and photography section on the second floor. There’s also a huge music and rare books section upstairs and locally made souvenirs at the check-out counter. If you love books, we highly recommend a visit to Respublica Bookstore!
