An urban motorway close to the centrally located exhibition grounds provides a direct link with Berlin 's international airports. A total of 12,000 parking spaces are available on and around the grounds. During major events a free shuttle bus will take you from your car to the exhibition grounds and back. Currently under construction, Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport (BBI), the international airport of the capital, promises even better international connections.
There are taxi ranks, underground/light rail stations and bus stops next to our entrances. Berlin's public transport system will take you swiftly and in comfort to the destination of your choice.

Environmental Zone
An Environmental Zone came into force in Berlin on 1 January 2008.
The Environmental Zone is the area within the so-called S-Bahn ring, the light railway line encircling central Berlin. Vehicles may only enter this area if they display a valid sticker showing that their emissions do not exceed a specified level of fine particulates. Signs have been erected on the roads clearly showing where the Environmental Zone begins. Although the southern section of the city expressway, the Stadtautobahn, is within the S-Bahn ring, it is not classified as part of the Environmental Zone because it is also used to enable vehicles to drive around the restricted area.
It is an offence to drive a vehicle inside the Evironmental Zone without the appropriate sticker, and this is punishable by a fine. Offenders may also be awarded one penalty point on their driving licences.
The Exhibition Grounds and ICC are located outside the Environmental Zone. Visitors arriving by car via the motorway system and entering the Exhibition Grounds directly via the interchange marked "Messegelände/Messedamm" are outside the zone and do not therefore require a sticker.
