The story

Book Square Herceg Novi in Herceg Novi Old Town

Book Square, or Trg od Knjige, is Herceg Novi's International Book Fair, held each July on Herceg Stjepan Square, also known as Belavista Square, in the Old Town. Running roughly 15 days, the event pairs publisher and bookseller stands with nightly author talks and book presentations, making it a literary fixture of the town's midsummer cultural calendar.

Book Square, known locally as Trg od Knjige, turns one of Herceg Novi's Old Town squares into a dedicated literary venue each July.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Book Square's distinction lies in dedicating one of Herceg Novi's named Old Town squares entirely to books for about two weeks each July, combining a commercial book fair with a nightly program of author talks and presentations rather than functioning as a static market of stands alone

02

The mystery stays covered

Holding the event on Herceg Stjepan, or Belavista, Square ties the fair directly to the town's branded system of Old Town squares, giving it a fixed and recognizable location year after year

03

The city starts moving

The nightly author programming distinguishes it from a typical book fair by giving visitors a reason to return across multiple evenings rather than browsing stands once, effectively turning the square into a temporary open-air literary venue for the duration of the fair
