1. Coming to Düsseldorf

The Messe Düsseldorf provides special car parks for journalists and during every fair we offer special services at our Press Center to make working for you as comfortable as possible.

Where is the Press Center located?

Our Press Center is located on the first floor of the Administration Tower and can reached via the stairs or elevator easily from the foyer.

When will the Press Center be opened?

From 26 October to 3 November 2010, 8.30 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

Where can I park my car as a journalist?

If you are travelling by car, please proceed from Stockumer Kirchstraße to the parking garage P4 near by the Administration Tower. If you are visiting the show for the first time, please have your press pass or other press ID ready for the security personnel. Upon entering the car park, you will also receive your ticket to exit free of charge. Following press legitimation, the press pass issued by Messe Düsseldorf also acts as a permit for the parking garage.
