FrankfurtWhere the world’s trade fairs are held
One of the largest exhibition grounds on earth, attached to one of its busiest airports.
The honest version
Frankfurt exists for this. Messe Frankfurt is among the largest exhibition grounds anywhere, the airport is a global freight and passenger hub, and rail connects the fairground to most of Germany within a few hours.
For exhibitors it is the most efficient large show environment in Europe. For conferences it is functional rather than seductive, which for a finance or industrial audience is usually the right trade.
Best suited to
- International trade fairs and exhibitions
- Financial services conferences
- Industrial and technical congresses
- European distributor meetings

Operating notes
What actually decides whether Frankfurt works for you.
Airlift, hotel capacity, ground and season — in that order, and before anyone falls in love with a photograph.
Access and airlift
Frankfurt (FRA) is a top-tier global hub for both passengers and air freight, with a long-distance rail station on site.
Hotels and capacity
Substantial, but major fair weeks fill the entire Rhine-Main region and rates rise very sharply.
Ground and distance
Efficient. Rail to the fairground, good road access and reliable coach operators.
Season and calendar
Driven entirely by the fair calendar. Outside major fairs the city is easy and good value.
