Festhalle Messe Frankfurt is located in the centre of Frankfurt with ideal public transport connections. Here you will find a detailed description of how to get there.
Our tips for getting to events quickly and easily
- Please be sure to arrive early as security checks can result in longer waiting times.
- Your admission ticket usually includes free use of the RMV Rhine-Main public transport system, so we recommend using public transport when visiting an event in the Festhalle. Park + Ride parking spaces can be found here: www.pundr.hessen.de
- Please note which entrance is open for your event. You will find this information directly on the relevant event website: To the event calendar
- The “City Entrance” can be seen directly from the tram and underground station. The “Festhalle South (Süd)” entrance is located on Brüsseler Strasse, directly opposite the Skyline Plaza shopping centre. To illustrate this, please click on this plan.

Arriving by train or other public transport
As a rule, concert and event tickets for the Festhalle entitle you to free travel to and from the event on the public transportation network (the trams, trains and buses of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund/ RMV) within the entire RMV fare zone. These tickets are valid for the journey there and back in second class for up to five hours prior to the start of the event until the network closes down for the night.
In addition, tickets for underground, light rail and tram travel are available at all RMV ticket machines.
