Add to favorites
  • Your date starts in a calm and serene bookstore, where you both lose yourselves in the captivating world of literature. You exchange your favorite genres, authors, and books, and maybe pick a book for each other. This setting also invites meaningful conversations and lets both of you understand each other’s intellectual interests.
  • After you both have picked a book, you move to a nearby intimate café where you can unwind. It's a cozy place with ambient background music, warm lighting, and comfortable seating, providing the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed date. While you both sip your coffee, you can enjoy discussing the books you’ve chosen.
  • The day ends with a walk around the quiet streets of Saint Petersburg. The crisp October air and the sight of leaves changing color adds a special romantic charm to your date. You can share stories, dreams, and laughter as you enjoy each other's company.

Preparation steps:

  • You don’t need any extensive preparation for this date. However, do a quick research on the most popular bookstores and cafes in Saint Petersburg to ensure a smooth transition between locations. Check the bookstore and café opening hours to plan your day accordingly. Dress in comfortable and warm clothes since October in Saint Petersburg can be chilly.
  • Consider preparing a list of books you enjoyed in the past, authors you admire and would recommend to your partner. This will spark interesting and engaging conversations. On a mental front, prepare yourself to be open, receptive, and patient. This date is about sharing and understanding each other’s interests and preferences.
  • Make sure to have some cash or a card handy for purchasing books and coffee. If you choose to buy a book for your date, it will make a sweet and thoughtful gesture which they can remember the date by. However, remember that this is a low-budget date, so buying an entire library might not be the best move

Some tips:

  • Try to choose a book for your partner – it’s a fun and engaging activity that shows you are attentive to their tastes and preferences. If you're unsure of their favorite genre, asking them makes for a good conversation topic.
