Book Fair (Targi Książki) Kraków

Initiated in 1997 in the historical city of Krakow, Poland, Targi Książki today represents the country's largest publishing fair and enjoys wide recognition as an outstanding media and cultural event. The name of the fair is firmly associated with the world of books and literature, providing a stage for all those passionately involved in the book industry.

Hosted annually at the International Exhibition and Convention Center Expo Krakow, this international fair unites publishers, authors, booksellers, translators, librarians, and of course, book enthusiasts to share their passion for literature, knowledge, and culture. The organizer, Targi w Krakowie Sp. z o.o., is committed to creating an inspiring space for exchange, discussion, and business opportunities in the field of literature and publication.

Targi Książki is more than a fair – it's a cultural event that revolves around the key themes of literature, publications, and media. The exhibitors, which include Polish and foreign publishers, bookstores, cultural institutions, digital media retailers, printers, and paper manufacturers, present a wide range of products and services here, from books and literature to modern digital publication solutions. This comprehensive offer reflects the broad and diverse market, and includes the international competition "The Best Publications on the Subject of Mountains," which honors publications from all over the world that deal with various aspects of the mountain world.

The fair’s close connection to the city of Krakow and to Poland is emphasized through its focus on national and local literature, culture, and history, opening a window through which the world can discover the riches of Polish literature and culture. It also serves as a platform for Polish authors and publishers to present themselves internationally.

Exhibitors and visitors primarily come from the fields of literature, publishing, and media, but the fair also attracts a wide audience of literature enthusiasts and professionals from related industries, such as education and librarianship.

The Expo Krakow exhibition center, where the event takes place, is a modern and easily accessible location and proves to be a perfect backdrop for an event of this size and significance. The venue is not only functional but also offers a marvelous opportunity to combine the fair visit with exploring Krakow, a UNESCO World Heritage city, due to its proximity to the historic city.

In total, Targi Książki in Krakow represents a symbiosis of tradition and modernity by providing a platform for physical books as well as digital media, thereby uniting the best of both worlds in the inspiring environment of the historically and culturally rich city of Krakow.

The Book Fair (Targi Książki) will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 23. October to Sunday, 26. October 2025 in Kraków.
