Barrier-free exchanges

So that all visitors reach their destinations quickly and easily, the state-of-the-art Frankfurt exhibition grounds provide short, simple routes. A barrier-free access and connection network ensures that mobility-impaired visitors can move about with ease as well. The Via Mobile covered moving walkway allows you to reach every hall easily.

Please be aware that the opening hours of gates and public entrances vary depending on the different events. More information can be found on the corresponding event website.

The Rebstock multi-storey car park offers parking facilities for many trade fairs. Elevators on all levels will take you to Level 0, where there is a shuttle bus service to the exhibition grounds. Please note that the shuttle bus is not suitable for wheelchair users. You will find specific information on the current parking situation on the website of the event in question.

People with a disabled parking pass or an “aG” type disability pass for severely impaired mobility are requested not to go to the Rebstock multi-storey car park but rather to the North Gate (Tor Nord), where our traffic attendants will provide them with a suitable parking space on the exhibition grounds.

Our information hotline can provide details about alternative parking options for visitors with restricted mobility who do not have an “aG” disability pass for severely impaired mobility. The hotline also provides information about special permits that are issued owing to specific conditions or on presentation of appropriate proof.

If you are a disabled visitor with an accompanying person, he or she is entitled to free admission to Messe Frankfurt events. This is on condition that:

• You have purchased a ticket at the relevant admission price
• You have a B-type disability pass and/or depend on an accompanying person

This is valid for one accompanying person only and in connection with your admission ticket.

For guest events (such as concerts in the Festhalle), the regulations of the organiser in question will apply. In this case, please contact the organiser of this event directly.

During trade fairs, you have the option of borrowing wheelchairs and scooters for a deposit of 50 euros from the clinic in the Operation & Security Center (OSC, Hall 4) and the clinic in Hall 8.0.

All of the sanitation facilities for the disabled on the exhibition grounds have been equipped with European disabled toilet locks.
