City Lights is a can't-miss for its historic past. The bookstore and non-profit publisher focuses on progressive works and printed locally authored collections like Allen Ginsberg's famous Howl. 자세히 보기

If you like to browse your books late at night, this is the place to go. Open till midnight. Staff is super helpful, they don't turn to a computer straight away to find something.

Very special, old bookstore. Be sure to spend your time downstairs: it's roomier, not rushed, and have very interesting material. In the post-bookstore era, this one reminds you how great they can be.
Anna K.3월 16, 2016
Independent bookstore-publisher est. 1953 and became widely known after publishing Allen Ginsberg in 1956. Today, you can buy all kinds of books here.

A legend still doing high volume. Fun to see that they can assert a strong literary perspective in their recommendations and staff picks offline, in today's best seller, Amazon universe.
Dean Moriarty2월 7, 2017
If your looking for something new, hip or different. If you're lost and looking for a bible that's significant towards the development of your personal mythology..look no further.
Sravanti Tekumalla7월 9, 2018
The loveliest bookstore in SF. The gems are in the nooks and crannies. Very extensive non-fiction section with place to sit downstairs.
Liza P11월 15, 2015
The best book store in the world! Legendary place, and the people who work here actually read. Always ask for recommendations.
robb wong6월 24, 2013
Parada obligatoria en el tour literario de San Francisco. Después de estar viendo los libros, vale la pena tomarse una cerveza enfrente, en el bar Vesuvio, lugar al q solían ir Kerouac y los beatniks
Shawn Calhoun10월 24, 2018
The best bookstore in The City! Be sure to make it upstairs to the poetry section.
Kaitlin3월 7, 2017
A charming, expansive store! Great selection of fiction, political works, literary magazines, and poetry -- plus friendly, helpful staff.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle2월 5, 2013
Relax with a book in the original Beatnik hangout, the first all-paperback bookstore in America when poet-owner Lawrence Ferlinghetti opened the doors in 1953. - Green Guide Editor
SFist8월 3, 2014
Founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin, the independent bookstore and publisher specializes in world literature, the arts, and progressive politics. 자세히 보기

SF Weekly’s Best Of 2012 Winner – Editorial Pick - Best Place to Buy New Books. San Francisco’s status as one of America’s best book cities was somewhat threatened by closures over the last decade... 자세히 보기

One of many amazing bookstores in the city. I get lost in writers every time I come here
Milad Cerkic6월 12, 2019
My wife’s and daughter’s fav place. Must visit!!
Bobak Esfandiari2월 17, 2016
Support excellent and civic minded bookstores! This is the beating heart of our first amendment.
Allison Abbott6월 29, 2015
Not as funky as I would have imagined it to be, but great selection (and obviously a worthwhile landmark for any lover of books or beatniks) nonetheless
Tom Evans4월 7, 2013
This place is fantastic in its selection of books, historical significance and proximity to the Beat Museum! Worth the trip to visit.
Juliana Saa10월 7, 2019
Un lugar lleno de nostalgia y buena literatura. Caminar por Culumbus St., tomarte un trago en el Vesuvio y luego ir a la biblioteca.
Karen1월 14, 2023
Has a good amount of literary works. Three floors total. Take your time and browse.
.:. s8월 13, 2015
You can feel the history of this place as you go down each and every row of books. Do you like books? You have to check it out.
Owen Haupt12월 20, 2018
It's so awesome! Take the Detour (app) called The Beat Generation and visit City Lights to learn some history of the Beats.
Rodrigo Kanayama1월 22, 2015
Excelente livraria. Muita variedade, bons títulos e ótima classificação. Melhor que as grandes redes, com certeza.
Jonathan Diaz7월 19, 2015
So much history here. Go up to the poetry section and check out all the posters from Beat authors on the wall
Martina6월 6, 2019
OMG. Absolutely worth it for beat generation fans. I totally love this bookstore. I need back.

Bookstores don't get any better than this! Founded in San Francisco in 1953 during the Beat Era, it contains three floors of books, all housed in an historic building.
Robert Hawkins7월 7, 2015
This is one of the most expertly curated bookstores I've ever been to. Long after the Beat Generation faded, Ferlinghetti's voice is strong.
Henna Abbas Merchant7월 7, 2016
One of my favorites!! They're open late, making city lights a great place to hang out after a few drinks :)
SEGA1월 5, 2012
An integral part of SF's beatnik history. The original publishers of Howl, they have a great beatnik section as well as other great books. - Kellie, Community Manager
Danny Zlobinsky7월 7, 2016
A piece of history, and still a fantastic bookshop.
Angie Harmon1월 9, 2016
Extremely interesting book curation here. Really very unique in what it stocks, even among independent bookstores.

No public bathroom. The science fiction section is small and at the very back of the basement. They have great graphic novels. :)
squeasel10월 8, 2014
Any bookstore where you can shop till midnight, and catch Daniel Handler in a fez playing the accordion, cannot be a bad bookstore.
Pete Marcus6월 23, 2022
Outstanding, world-class, historic bookshop
J T11월 13, 2018
Come here for the books and for a slice of history. Also check out the room on the second floor for events.
Sarah9월 15, 2014
Amazing bookstore with a well-curated selection. Love the poetry section upstairs.
Tiana Danger4월 23, 2015
This place is magical. Get lost in it. And take a flick by the door- you'll know which one when you see it 😉
Maria Nelson1월 23, 2018
Loved this bookstore so much 😍 great selection, politically relevant, and well priced
Jon Terry6월 8, 2016
An absolute treasure! Don't forget to see the poetry and beat section upstairs.
Priscilla Bulnes2월 22, 2016
Legendaria librería, no dejes de visitar el Poetry Room y su sección de Literatura Beat.
Ellie Pines3월 3, 2013
I wish I never had to leave this beautiful three story bookstore! It feels like taking a step back in time whenever you go in!
mel5월 28, 2015
Pequeña, atiborrada de libros, con gran variedad... ¡perfecta! además de tener su propia editorial publicando escritores locales
Jonathan Kramer8월 15, 2014
Exactly what you want from an independent bookstore. It's quiet, has charm and a good selection.
Secil Sanseven7월 7, 2016
They have very nice people working and interesting walls. I liked the downstairs the most.
Alan-Arthur Aurelia7월 19, 2017
Amazing book store with tons of books on the Beats and more!

Go to the third floor and find a copy of Ginsberg's "Howl" - the book that embroiled City Lights in an obscenity trial. Sit in the Poet's Chair and read it from start to finish.
Contemporary Jewish Museum7월 6, 2013
City Lights Bookstore is the epicenter of Beat History, founded by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin in 1953.
Francois Pichard8월 1, 2012
Baladez vous dans les étages et les rayons de cette boutique culte ; vous pouvez même en profiter pr acheter un livre (soyons fou ;) )
Paul Farrell10월 13, 2015
Sure it is of historical significance, but don't lose sight of the fact that it is a cracking bookstore
