The route: Frankfurt Airport to NürnbergMesse
From the airport the drive joins the A 3 at the Frankfurter Kreuz and heads east. Offenbach and Aschaffenburg come first, then the Spessart hills, Wertheim and Würzburg - about 241 kilometres and a good two and a half hours in all.
Beyond Erlangen and Fürth the A 3 meets the Nuremberg ring. Via the A 73 or A 9 and the exit towards Fischbach, the exhibition centre in Langwasser is only minutes away.
Meet and greet in arrivals
Your driver waits with a name sign in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. The flight is monitored, so a late landing or a slow baggage belt changes nothing about the pickup.
International exhibitors arriving with sample cases and promotional material reach the vehicle without joining the taxi queue. If several colleagues travel together, the vehicle size can be agreed beforehand.
Arriving at the exhibition grounds
You are dropped at whichever entrance you need, typically Eingang Mitte, Eingang Ost or the NCC congress centre. If the hotel comes first, Langwasser, the old town or Fürth are served just as directly.
That removes the trip from Nuremberg main station on the U1 with luggage in tow. Even on build-up days, when access roads are reserved for freight forwarders, the stopping point is chosen in advance to suit.
Nuremberg as a trade-fair city
The site on the south-eastern edge of the city is one of Europe's significant exhibition venues, running fairs from the Spielwarenmesse to Interzoo, BrauBeviale and Chillventa. The halls are grouped around the Mitte, Ost and West entrances, with the NCC congress centres alongside.
Around the grounds lie the Dutzendteich lakes, the documentation centre at the former party rally grounds and the stadium; a few U-Bahn stops away the old town begins with the Imperial Castle and the Hauptmarkt. For an evening between two show days, Nuremberg offers considerably more than an exhibition hall.
Tips for this journey
At the start of a fair, Langwasser is congested in the morning, so an early landing means a calmer approach. Arriving in the afternoon, factor in commuter traffic on the Nuremberg ring.
On the A 3 through the Spessart, gradients and lorry convoys slow things regularly, especially in wet weather. Give your hall or hotel address when booking so the right exit is planned from the outset.

Transfer, taxi or train from NürnbergMesse?
The train reaches Nuremberg from the airport quickly enough, but the main station is followed by a change onto the U1 to Langwasser, which with trade-fair luggage is the least pleasant part of the trip. An airport taxi will meter the 241 kilometres, whereas this transfer is booked at a fixed price and the driver waits even if your flight lands late. A rental car mainly buys you the search for a parking space at the grounds during show week, instead of letting you step out at the entrance itself.

Show fixed price →Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Frankfurt Airport to NürnbergMesse take?
The drive from Frankfurt Airport to NürnbergMesse takes about 159 minutes for 241 km in normal traffic. That is measured from the meeting point inside the terminal, not from touchdown.
Where does my driver meet me at Terminal 1 or 3?
The meeting point is the arrivals hall of your terminal — your driver stands just beyond the customs exit holding a name sign and walks you to the vehicle. The terminal follows from the flight number you give when booking, and a diversion to 1 or 3 still gets you found.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Pickup is linked to your flight number and shifts automatically with the actual landing time — at no extra charge. 60 minutes of waiting are included after touchdown so baggage reclaim and passport control are covered.
How much is a transfer from Frankfurt Airport to NürnbergMesse?
The fixed price for the 241 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.
How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.
Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?
This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur waits for you at the terminal with a name sign. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for NürnbergMesse.
Can I pay the driver by card?
Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.
Can I travel with an infant or child seat?
A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.
