Famous throughout the capital, Filigranes is really impressive. Concerts, storytelling for children and signing sessions brighten your dull Sundays. With about 100.000 books spread over 1700 m², it would be a real shame to spend Sunday in front of the TV. (Avenue de Arts 39 - 1040 Bxl)
In the heart of the rue Dansaert and its temples to fashion, Passa Porta is also a pleasant surprise. A reading area, mini bar, selection of cutting edge books in several languages, this contemporary, hype area is a place to try out and indulge in, without moderation.(Rue Dansaert 46 - 1000 Bxl) In the Louise area, the Librairie de Rome is THE place for international press. Wherever you come from, you'll find your newspaper here. There are also books on sale, and, who knows, you might end up reading your purchase cake in hand from one of the local pâtisseries. (Rue Stas 16a - 1050 Bxl)
For all comic strip fans, a temple to this art form is Brüsel, open from midday onwards, and perfect for finding that album you really want. It's all top quality here, starting with Belgian comics, new authors, mangas and so on. (Boulevard Anspach 100 - 1000 Bxl) OLIGRAPHE / van de Kerchove
