Buchhandlung Walther König GmbH & Co. KG

I habe found my favourite place on earth here 🥹🥹🥹

Amazing, one of the biggest art bookshops I've visited. Also English books!

Such a great variety of beautiful books. The staff is really lovely

Impressive size and massive selection while remaining cozy. Lots of stairs, so not the most accessible, but it's loaded with approachable staff.

Beautiful library with an endless selection of cookbooks ,lots of art,architecture,design,fashion and history related gems that are hard to find elsewhere 😄

Although I searched for books in philosophy, politics or for some auto/biographies and tried hard to find a book in my favorite genres, I was impressed with the varieties of Arts and Architecture books. It will take some time&effort to figure out the books (particularly if you are looking for books in English) to meet your taste.

However, Walther König bookstore used to be a meeting place for artists. You can feel it when you are there even for a short period of time there at the corner of Ehrenstraße in the city center. Definitely worth visiting.

This bookstore has a great selection of art related books. They run several museum book shops and those kind of books are what you can expect. I like the atmosphere in there and that you can explore in a beautiful chaos.

Lots of interesting photography related books for reasonable prices. Heaven for a photography enthousiast like me.

Such a nice surprise,
Great selection and amazing staff!

A creative's sanctuary!
Beautiful space, and lots of gems to dig.

It's a book hub.

Excellent bookstore with a special focus on art and cultural books. Could spend hours exploring the collections. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing art bookshop. Great service. Highly recommended.

Very large store, with cafe and also books in different languages. Staff very friendly

Very cool bookstore, English and German language books are mixed, but sorted per category, large collection for both languages

A paradise for photography and art nerds. A wide collection of nostalgia, technical books

Great selection of contemporary cookbooks, architecture and the fine Arts is what is showcased in this gem of a book store.

It is just amazing! Such diversity in literature. It is a must to visit!

Great selection of books! Actually, the best I’ve ever seen in a bookshop!

I love visiting this bookshop whenever I am in Köln. One of my faves in Nord-Rhein Westfallen.
