BOOK FAIR IN KRAKOW 2026

Description

The International Book Fair in Krakow is the largest and most significant publishing industry event in Poland. It serves as a comprehensive meeting point for the entire literary world, bringing together major Polish and international publishing houses, authors, translators, librarians, and avid readers. The fair is characterized by its dual nature: it functions as a professional business-to-business platform for copyright exchange and industry networking, while simultaneously acting as a massive cultural festival for the public. Visitors can explore a vast array of genres, from belles-lettres and academic publications to comic books and digital media, all within the modern facilities of EXPO Krakow.
