Taking place at the Zagreb Fair, Interliber offers visitors thousands of books at discounted rates. It spans three pavilions with four exhibition halls, all containing hundreds of vendors selling titles that include anything from recent releases to history, philosophy, poetry, chemistry and classics, to name just a few. Though most are in Croatian, there are extensive foreign-language collections available.
Alongside the vendors, Interliber will host a number of discussions, panels and workshops throughout its run. The full programme, as well as a floor plan, can be found on the Zagreb Fair website.
The staggering scale of Interliber is worth experiencing in its own right. The event, now in its 45th year, consistently draws huge crowds of all ages around an excitement for books and literature in general. All of the country's major publishers attend and set up stands, but a huge number of smaller ones with niche portfolios are present too, providing an enticing range of options for visitors.
There are plenty of cafés and dining options available at the venue, including food trucks outside of the exhibition halls. Be sure to bring a bag – it’s rare to see a visitor leaving without new books for their collections.
The event runs until Sunday, November 12.
