The organizers of the International Book Fair in Kraków® have introduced many new solutions aimed at improving the comfort of all participants of this literary event.

    Expansion of the exhibition space

    The most significant change is a substantial expansion of the exhibition area. Especially for the Book Fair, we are building an additional Karpaty Tent Hall with an area of 3,000 m², which will include, among others, author zones, a stage, a cloakroom, and exhibitors’ stands.

    Outdoor food zone

    Additionally, we are preparing an outdoor food zone with street food, where visitors will be able to eat and relax. It is worth bringing your own (non-glass) water bottle to the fair, which can be refilled at drinking fountains located throughout the exhibition area.

    Lower ticket prices

    Ticket prices are lower on Thursday and Friday. This option is ideal for those who are primarily interested in purchasing books.

    Free admission and discounts

    Free admission is available for children under 7, people with disabilities and their caregivers. Discounts are offered to pupils and students, seniors, and holders of the National Senior Card, the Large Family Card, and the Kraków Family Card 3+. Family tickets (2+2 and 2+3) as well as 4-day passes—solutions that proved successful in previous years—will also continue to be available in the coming years.

    Entry limits

    Entry limits have been introduced for the Fair. The आयोजers reserve the right to suspend ticket sales for a given day of the event.

    Changes of the entry and exit system

    Organizational changes will also affect the entry and exit areas. Separate queue lines will be designated for holders of online tickets and those purchased at ticket offices. For safety reasons, security checks of persons and carried items will be conducted upon entry to the venue. Additionally, on Saturday and Sunday, a separate entrance will be available for seniors, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.

    Re-entry to the Fair

    The possibility to leave and re-enter the Fair is another important organizational change introduced this year. When exiting, simply inform a security staff member of your intention to return to receive a stamp allowing re-entry on the same day.

    Book Shipping Point

    Another convenience for visitors is the Book Shipping Point located within the Fair grounds. Visitors will no longer have to worry about transporting their purchased books. Simply use the service, and the books will be delivered to the indicated address.

    EXPO Kraków – the largest exhibition venue in Małopolska in terms of flat exhibition space

    It is worth noting that EXPO Kraków is the largest exhibition venue in Małopolska in terms of flat exhibition space. The facility is air-conditioned, equipped with a modern ventilation and air exchange system, and fully adapted for hosting trade fair events. During the Book Fair, additional changes have been introduced to improve visitor comfort, including reducing heat emission by replacing stand lighting with LED systems.
