The Netherlands will be the guest of honour at the 28th Budapest International Book Festival held between September 28 and October 1 at the Millenáris Park, organisers said.

Katalin Gál, head of the association of Hungarian publishers and book sellers (MKKE), meanwhile said this year’s Book Week would be held between June 8 and 11 in Vörösmarty Square and on the embankment of the Danube on the city’s Pest side.

Both events were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
