About Messe Köln

Welcome to Messe Köln, the Cologne Trade Fair grounds operated by Koelnmesse GmbH. With 11 halls, the Confex center, two congress centers, and expansive exhibition space, it’s one of Europe’s premier event venues. Whether you’re attending major shows like Gamescom or Anuga, or other trade fairs, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your visit.

This page provides seating guidelines (varies by event), parking information, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you secure your seats and make the most of your trip to Köln.

Koelnmesse is accessible via multiple modes of transportation and sits near the Köln Messe/Deutz ICE station and tram stops. The venue has ample parking options with around 17,000 spaces in the surrounding area. Nearby hotels including Radisson Blu Hotel Köln, Motel One Köln-Messe, and Dorint An der Messe Köln are within walking distance or a short ride. Note that the historic Rheinhallen were restructured as part of modernization; the Congress Centre Koelnmesse now serves as a key venue space.
