Messe Frankfurt
Frankfurt, Germany
Messe Frankfurt brings large international exhibitions into the fabric of the city. Its exhibition grounds combine interconnected modern halls with the domed Festhalle, a historic building that gives the campus a recognisable architectural centre. The setting allows business visitors to move between a trade fair, city hotels and Frankfurt's restaurants without basing an entire trip around an isolated convention district. The halls offer different sizes and configurations, supported by meeting rooms, foyers and circulation routes designed for substantial visitor numbers. The Forum and Congress Center extend the choice of spaces for presentations, conferences and accompanying events. Exhibitions can occupy individual halls or spread across several buildings, creating very different experiences according to the subject and scale of the show. For visitors, checking the relevant entrance and hall before arrival makes the grounds easier to navigate. Public transport links connect the district with the wider city, while the skyline provides a constant reminder of Frankfurt's commercial character. Messe Frankfurt is particularly distinctive for this meeting of established trade fair infrastructure, historic event architecture and an urban setting that offers plenty beyond the exhibition floor.
