Chernivtsi is a literary city. This is the city of Paul Celan, Rosa Auslander, Olga Kobylianska, Yuri Fedkovych, Joseph Burg and many other writers of Romanian, Jewish, Austrian and German origin. This is a city where literature, as art, is original, self-sufficient, continues to develop. Where authors are remembered and glorified, where publishing thrives and bookstores are constantly replenished with new unique publications. German publicist Georg Heinzen once wrote that Chernivtsi is "a city with more bookstores than coffee shops." It seems that these two passions - the love of coffee and the love of reading - have been fighting in Chernivtsi for as long as they can remember. And it was in Chernivtsi that they became one whole.

On the tour we will visit places where famous Ukrainian and world literary figures lived, worked, studied and rested. Let's find out where Ivan Franko graduated from university, where he wrote a textbook on the psychology of criminology, according to which Conan Doyle wrote his famous Sherlock Holmes. We will visit the place where the first literary salon was located in Chernivtsi, where Yuri Fedkovych met his only beloved Emilia Maroshani. We will walk through the streets where Olga Kobylianska and Lesia Ukrainka walked, and Osyp Makovei sometimes joined their walks.

The tour lasts 2-3 hours.
