A guide to attending German trade fairs: travel, lodging and cost sharing
Getting to German fairs like Anuga, Hannover Messe, Ambiente, ISM and Domotex adds up fast once you count flights, transfers and lodging. Sharing those costs with the many others heading to the same fair makes the trip lighter.
Which fair, and when?
Köln, Frankfurt, Hannover and Düsseldorf host fairs with heavy attendance from Türkiye throughout the year. Fixing the dates and planning flights and lodging early is critical for both price and availability.
Why lodging gets hard during fair week
During fair weeks hotel prices multiply and central hotels fill quickly. Instead of booking a room alone, sharing an apartment or a twin room with someone attending the same fair cuts the cost significantly.
Ways to share the cost
- A shared taxi or shuttle between the airport and the fair
- Splitting an apartment or hotel room
- Sharing a booth to split space and setup costs
- Finding a travel companion on the same flight or route
