Travel Information
Numerous flights from North America operate on a daily basis with service to Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Brussels or Amsterdam. Cologne’s airport is currently not serviced from destinations in North America. The most convenient connection is available via the Frankfurt Airport: High Speed trains from here take less than 1 hour to reach the Cologne fairgrounds. Alternatively we recommend flying into Düsseldorf and take public transportation to Cologne.

German Railway: Cologne has 2 train stations – the main one is called “Hauptbahnhof” the one in front of the fairground is called “Koeln Deutz” – all trains stop at both stations. For connections and time table visit: www.bahn.de
Via Car: Ten highways lead to Cologne. Roads to the fairground are well marked. Look for "Green Traffic Road Signs" pointing to Koelnmesse and its 14,500 parking spaces. Free shuttle buses take you to the entrance areas.
