Use the Messe/Laatzen station for the fairground. Journey time is roughly 15-20 minutes; confirm the correct line and platform on the day.

Useful for the northern halls and Messe/Nord access. Check the current route and stop before boarding, because tram services can be affected by event-day changes.
