At the heart of the Book Fair: the Agora

The 10,000-square-metre-space between the Forum and Halls 3,4 and 5 is the heart of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
All roads lead through the Agora at the Book Fair, and every visitor makes a stop here at some point - whether it's to get some fresh air, to eat, shop or have a chat...

Staring this year, we're offering the opportunity to host large-scale events at the Book Fair's most central locations:

New: Open Stage
