Hidden Belgium: Librebook

Head to Librebook in Brussels’ Matonge district to discover the exceptional richness of European fiction, art and political thought. Founded by Antonio Parodi in 2016, this quirky corner bookstore stocks serious books in at least 30 European languages.

It’s a slightly chaotic place filled with old furniture salvaged from local offices. But Parodi has turned his space into a lively cultural hub with readings, book launches and jazz sessions.

Derek Blyth’s hidden secret of the day: Derek Blyth is the author of the bestselling “The 500 Hidden Secrets of Belgium”. He picks out one of his favourite hidden secrets for The Brussels Times every day.
