Brussels Book City | Passa Porta

Brussels through a literary lens

Looking at Brussels through the lens of a writer, opening a book in a literary café, giving the floor to literature lovers, and revealing the many ties between book and city. #BrusselsBookCity introduces you to the literary sides of Europe’s most cosmopolitan city – some of them rather familiar, others quite surprising!

Brussels in stories, stories in Brussels

Passa Porta highlights the wide-ranging and thriving literary scene of Brussels with #BrusselsBookCity, made possible thanks to the ‘Promotion de Bruxelles’ of the French-speaking Community/Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

Seen through a literary lens, the streets and squares of Brussels suddenly appear very different. Texts by local and foreign writers as well as interviews and pictures help you to discover the literary topography of Brussels.
