When to book
The dates are published well in advance: see the calendar of Berlin trade fairs 2027. As soon as you have your fair ticket, book a cancellable rate; you can adjust later. Do not wait for the last week: prices follow demand. If your ideal hotel is full, choose one further out but near an S-Bahn or U-Bahn station.
Getting to the fair
From Charlottenburg the trip is short. From the centre, allow about twenty minutes: check the day's route in Berlin transport, as works sometimes change the lines. From the airport, see BER airport. To prepare your meetings, read meeting rooms and business hotels in Berlin and the business dinner in Berlin.
