On Sunday, the Buch Wien 25, Austria's largest book fair, concluded with a new visitor record.

The addition of one hall and a 20 percent increase in exhibition space resulted in a visitor increase of more than ten percent compared to the previous year. According to the organizers, around 72,000 interested individuals were counted over the five days of the fair at Messe Wien, where a total of 516 talks, workshops, and discussion formats were offered.

Next Buch Wien to take place from November 25 to 29, 2026

"For several years now, we have been delighted to be able to inspire even more people with literature each time," said Benedikt Föger, President of the Austrian Publishers and Booksellers Association (HVB), in a statement. "The Buch Wien has developed by far into the most important platform for visibility around the book in the domestic market - and is increasingly shining beyond national borders." Patrick Zöhrer, Managing Director of Buch Wien, stated: "With this momentum, we look forward to new projects in the coming year." The next Buch Wien will take place from November 25 to 29, 2026.
