Excellent Infrastructure
The exhibition grounds can be reached by car, as well as by two mass transit rail lines (terminating at the northern and eastern perimeters of the grounds) and the showground's own railway station, "Hannover Messe/Laatzen", which is located on Germany's heavily traveled North/South rail axis, connecting Hannover with Frankfurt and Hamburg. Two pedestrian "skywalks" (i.e. covered, moving walkways) connect the railway station on the western side of the exhibition grounds with the entrance of Hall 13, and, on the eastern side, the parking lots with halls 8 and 9. A new tram line provides a fast and convenient connection between Hannover Airport, Hannover Central Railway Station and the exhibition site.
Vehicular access roads to the exhibition site were designed to handle peak traffic volumes. Highways up to six lanes wide lead straight to the showground.
