The Messe Berlin - Berlin fairgrounds

Fast local transport connections surround the fairgrounds. Because there are separate routes for automobile, bus and train traffic - as well as three different entrances to the fairgrounds themselves - all arrivals are swift, comfortable and stress free. Traffic jams are minimized by separating vehicles carrying visitors to the fair from normal daily neighborhood traffic. There are plenty of parking spaces as well as bus stops and taxi stand near each entrance.

The Messe Berlin can be reached extremely easily by:

By Plane: Germany’s capital city can be reached directly, and conveniently, via national and international air routes. Berlin has three commercial airports: Berlin-Tegel (TXL), Berlin-Schonefeld (SXL), and Berlin-Tempelhof (THF). All three airports are connected with the city center and the Messe Berlin (Berlin Fairgrounds) by trains and buses at standard public fares. Tegel, the main airport is only 15 minutes via the autobahn. Schonefeld Airport has a direct 35 minute S-Bahn Train link the Fairgrounds

By Bus: Berlin is served by 23-30 bus lines with a number of destinations in Germany and the rest of Europe. Arrivals and departures: Zentraler Omnibus Bahnhof, and ZOB (Central Bus Station) near the Funkturm (Broadcasting Tower). 

South Entrance or the Deutschland Hall Entrance are the closest to Halls 1.2 and 2.2

Reached by: U-Bahn (underground) trains every 2.5 minutes at peak intervals; S-Bahn (city) trains and regional trains arriving at nearby "Witzleben" station every five minutes; central bus station (Busbahnhof) across the street (literally) serving domestic and international bus lines.

By Train: Berlin can be reached by train from all directions. The principal train stations are Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Berlin-Friedrichstrasse and Berlin Hauptbahnhof.

By Car: The Messe Berlin is at the intersection of Autobahns 115 and 100. It is very well signposted - take either the Messedamm - Nord or Messedamm-Süd exits. Look for signs to the ICC also. Parking is excellent. Parking is available directly outside of the Exhibition halls. Halls 1.2 and 2.2 are on the South side of the Fairgrounds. The landmark to look for is the very tall Funkturm Radio Tower and the Deutschland Hall.
