Venue guide

Messe Berlin Venue Guide

Messe Berlin, also shown as Berlin ExpoCenter City on the site map, is a large exhibition campus around Messedamm, Masurenallee, Jaffestrasse, Kaiserdamm, and the Funkturm area. The right arrival point depends on the gate, hall, or conference building your event uses.

This guide uses the Messe Berlin access map to explain the main gates, hall zones, CityCube Berlin, hub27, public transport points, parking, taxis, and practical visitor planning. Hotels are handled separately in the Messe Berlin hotel guide, so this page can focus on venue access and layout.

Messe Berlin site map overview

The map shows why Messe Berlin should be planned by gate and hall, not only by the general venue address. The campus includes exhibition halls across the northern, eastern, southern, and western sides, plus CityCube Berlin, hub27, Palais, Marshall-Haus, Sommergarten, and the Funkturm landmark.

Gate 7, Gate 9, Gate 25, and Gate 27 each serve different parts of the grounds. For large trade fairs, checking the hall assignment before travel is important because the walking route from one entrance can be very different from another.

Which Messe Berlin gate should you use?

The right gate is usually printed in the event app, exhibitor manual, ticket, or visitor instructions. If the event only says Messe Berlin, check the hall number before choosing a taxi drop-off, parking area, or public transport station.

The map separates the main vehicle access gates by hall range. This is especially useful for exhibitors, logistics teams, hosted buyers, and visitors with meetings in different parts of the fairground.

  • Gate 7: access for halls 1.1-7.1 and CityCube Berlin Hall A.
  • Gate 9: access for halls 8-18.
  • Gate 25: access for halls 1.2-7.2, halls 20-26, CityCube Berlin Hall B, and hub27.
  • Gate 27: additional access near the hub27 side of the exhibition grounds.

Main entrances and hall areas

The map labels several visitor entrances, including Entrance North, Entrance East, Entrance South, CityCube Berlin entrances from Messedamm and Jaffestrasse, the hub27 entrance, and hall-specific access points. These names are more useful for meeting points than simply saying Messe Berlin.

The northern and eastern side is closer to Kaiserdamm, Masurenallee, Messedamm, Messe Nord/ICC, and the Funkturm area. The southern and western side connects more directly with Jaffestrasse, Messe Süd, CityCube Berlin, hub27, and the halls around 1.1-7.2 and 20-26.

  • Entrance North: useful for the northern hall and Funkturm side.
  • Entrance East: useful for the Messe Ost/Funkturm approach and halls around the eastern red zone.
  • Entrance South: useful for CityCube Berlin, Hall 7, and the Jaffestrasse/Messe Süd side.
  • CityCube Berlin entrances: shown at both Messedamm and Jaffestrasse sides.
  • hub27 entrance: useful for events assigned to hub27 or nearby Hall 25/26 areas.

CityCube Berlin and hub27

CityCube Berlin is shown on the southern side of the map with Hall A and Hall B labels. It is separate enough from some exhibition halls that visitors should check whether their event uses CityCube, the main exhibition halls, or both.

hub27 Berlin appears on the western side near Gate 25 and Gate 27. For events using hub27, the western access points and Messe Süd/Jaffestrasse side can be more practical than arriving at the Funkturm or eastern entrances.

  • CityCube Hall A: shown with Gate 7 access on the map.
  • CityCube Hall B: shown with Gate 25 access on the map.
  • hub27: positioned near the western side of the grounds and Gate 25/Gate 27.
  • Confirm whether meetings are in CityCube, hub27, or the numbered exhibition halls before choosing a hotel or taxi route.

Public transport, taxis, buses, and parking

The map shows S-Bahn access at Messe Nord/ICC and Messe Süd, U-Bahn access at Kaiserdamm, nearby bus stops, taxi points, and parking markers around the grounds. It also shows the Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof area near Masurenallee and the Stadtautobahn connection.

For visitors arriving by public transport, Messe Nord/ICC is convenient for the northern/eastern side, while Messe Süd is practical for CityCube Berlin, Jaffestrasse, hub27, and the southern/western side. Drivers should follow the gate or parking recommendation from the event organiser rather than navigating only to Messedamm 22.

  • Messe Nord/ICC: useful for the Funkturm, Masurenallee, ICC, and northern/eastern entrances.
  • Messe Süd: useful for CityCube Berlin, Jaffestrasse, Entrance South, and parts of the western grounds.
  • Kaiserdamm U-Bahn: shown north of the venue and useful for some eastern/northern access routes.
  • Taxi points and parking are spread around the map, so match drop-off or parking to the assigned hall.

Hotel planning around Messe Berlin

Messe Berlin hotel choice should follow the same logic as the map: choose based on the side of the venue you will use most. A stay near Messe Nord/ICC can work well for the Funkturm and northern/eastern entrances, while hotels closer to Messe Süd, Westkreuz, Jaffestrasse, or CityCube may suit events on the southern and western side.

The full hotel recommendations are kept in the separate Messe Berlin hotel guide, which avoids repeating the same hotel list on the venue page and gives Google a clearer purpose for each URL.

Practical visitor tips

Before travelling, check the event hall, gate, and entrance recommendation. Messe Berlin is compact enough to navigate on foot once inside, but arriving at the wrong side can still add avoidable walking time at the start of the day.

For meetings, use exact labels from the map such as Gate 7, Gate 9, Gate 25, Gate 27, Entrance North, Entrance East, Entrance South, CityCube Berlin, hub27, Funkturm, or Sommergarten. These are clearer than a general Messe Berlin meeting point.

  • Check the hall number before choosing a station, taxi point, or parking area.
  • Use named gates and entrances for meeting points.
  • Use Messe Nord/ICC for many north/east arrivals and Messe Süd for CityCube or southern/western access.
  • Leave extra time during large fairs, especially if you need to cross between CityCube, hub27, and numbered halls.

Search hotels after checking your gate

Once you know the hall, gate, or entrance, compare hotels with that side of Messe Berlin in mind. This is especially useful for exhibitors, hosted buyers, teams with early appointments, and visitors moving between CityCube Berlin, hub27, and the numbered exhibition halls.
