Buch Wien 2017

Book enthusiasts and passionate readers are once again spoiled by choice at this international book fair happening over 4 story-filled days at the Messe Wien and 32 other locations around the city. The organisers promise the event to be bigger and better than last year, and more international than ever! So pack your reading glasses and warm up your fingers for some serious page-turning this month. There is a total of 451 readings and discussion so you might want to plan ahead and choose whatever sparks your interest. If you feel extra motivated, go crazy and join the opening event, the so-called ‘Long Night of Books’ that starts at 7:30pm and goes on until midnight, on the first day of the fair.
