The trade fair is co-located with AUTO CAMPING CARAVAN and TRANSPORTER TAGE BERLIN in order to create maximum synergy and value for visitors. Open to the general public, this event is one of the most popular at the Berlin ExpoCenter City. Work hours are set for 10:00h until 18:00h, but be sure to take note of starting times for special events like the GALA NIGHT OF THE BOATS, which begins at 18:00h. Messe Berlin GmbH brings a well-rounded exciting trade fair every single year. Now let’s talk about how to get to the exhibition centre.
