Book lovers and bibliophiles have plenty of choice in Ghent to find something they like. The city can boast a great list of bookshops. In some you’ll find exclusively new books, others sell second-hand books. The interiors of the shops also vary from authentically messy to fashionably contemporary. But all Ghent bookshops have one thing in common: they have plenty of expertise to give you tailored book recommendations. Every Sunday morning, a cosy second-hand book market takes place along the bank of the river Lys.
