Lonely Planet review

Part museum, part library, part cultural centre, the Reading Room is a must-visit. The foyer of this old colonial building displays photos and information dedicated to President Xanana Gusmão. A selection of books is held in various fan-cooled rooms. Make time to watch a video from the Reading Room's comprehensive collection - videos include gripping coverage of the Santa Cruz Cemetery massacre.
