Bremen Airport

Taxi and ride-hail run to the venue; BSAG tram line 6 connects the airport with the city centre in roughly 25 minutes. Direct flights are limited, so many long-haul delegates arrive via a German hub and continue by rail to Bremen Hauptbahnhof, which is a short walk or tram ride from the CCB

Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Taxi
Estimated costApprox. EUR 22-28 per taxi for the 7.7 km trip (meter fare; confirm current rates on arrival)
Best forBremen Airport (BRE) to Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB), Findorffstrasse 101
About 16 minutes via the B6; the B6 and Findorffstrasse route also avoids some construction closures. Metered taxis rank outside the terminal; ask for Findorffstrasse 101 rather than just 'CCB'.
Tram (BSAG line 6)
Estimated costApprox. EUR 3.00-3.60 per single adult ticket in the Bremen city zone (confirm current BSAG fare)
Best forBremen Airport (BRE) to Bremen city centre / Findorffstrasse
Tram line 6 links the airport with the centre in roughly 25 minutes including the walk. Validate the ticket before boarding; short-trip and day tickets are sold at machines on the platform.
Day ticket (BSAG bus and tram)
Estimated costApprox. EUR 8-9 per adult day ticket for the Bremen city zone (estimate; confirm at the machine)
Best forUnlimited city-zone travel between hotel, Hauptbahnhof and the CCB
Useful across two or three show days if you stay outside walking distance. Group and multi-day options exist; check the machine menu on the first day.
Ride-hail app
Estimated costApprox. EUR 12-20 per short inner-city trip when an app car is available (estimate; app pricing varies with demand)
Best forHotel or Bremen Hauptbahnhof to the CCB
Ride-hailing coverage in Bremen is thinner than in Berlin or Hamburg; keep a taxi rank fallback at the Hauptbahnhof and outside the venue.
Car and parking
Estimated costApprox. EUR 12-18 per day in venue-area garages and car parks (estimate; confirm tariffs on site)
Best forDriving to Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB)
The CCB sits on Findorffstrasse with limited surrounding parking; arrive before the morning session block and expect tight spaces during the heavy lift conference slots.
Walking
Estimated costFree - most listed hotels are 90 m to 700 m from the entrance
Best forHauptbahnhof and Findorffstrasse hotels to the CCB
The Maritim is roughly 90 m away and the budget cluster around the station is a 5 to 10 minute walk, often faster than moving a car between halls.
Weather
Bremen in March is early spring: cool and changeable with a real chance of wind and rain. Pack layered clothing, a waterproof outer layer and comfortable walking shoes for the walk between hotels and Congress Bremen/CCB.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to Germany.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Badge pickup and business dress
LogisticsConnect runs a badge-and-lanyard culture at Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB). Business dress in the project logistics sector leans practical: smart casual with a jacket, comfortable shoes for long hall days, and a jacket that survives a walk in March wind and rain.
Language on the floor
German is the local language and English is the working language of heavy lift and breakbulk crews, so most stand conversations and conference sessions can run in English. A short German greeting and a translated business card go a long way with Mittelstand plant and steelwork visitors.
Punctuality and meetings
Meetings start on the hour and stand appointments are treated as fixed commitments. Confirm a booth number and hall before the show, because the CCB layout spans multiple halls and walking time between them is real.
Payment and cash
Cards are accepted at hotels and most restaurants, but some bakeries, kiosks and tram ticket machines still prefer cash or a local card. Keep a small amount of euro cash for coffee between sessions.
Sunday and evening rhythm
Shops close on Sundays in Bremen, so buy supplies and adapter cables on Saturday. Restaurant tables for groups need booking on show evenings, especially around the Hauptbahnhof and the Viertel district.
Courtesy and negotiation style
Hanseatic business culture is direct but polite: lead with facts, safety records and references rather than superlatives, and expect technical questions on lifting plans, permits and insurance limits from plant engineers and EPC buyers.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Bremen; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Bremen Airport: Approx. 16 minutes by taxi via the B6. Allow road or rail time to Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB): Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB), 90 m away: Maritim Hotel Bremen; Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB), 290 m away: Prize by Radisson, Bremen City; Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB), 410 m away: Courtyard by Marriott Bremen.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Bremen; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Bremen's bus and tram network is run by BSAG, and tram line 6 is the useful one for the show: it links Bremen Airport (BRE) with the city centre in roughly 25 minutes, and the Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB) on Findorffstrasse is within a short tram or bus hop, or about a 15 minute walk, from Bremen Hauptbahnhof. Buy a single city-zone ticket (around EUR 3) or a day ticket (around EUR 8-9) from the platform machine before boarding and validate it. The network is frequent through the day but thins after the late evening, so check the last connection back to your hotel if you stay for evening receptions.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB); confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027
Temperature: Early March in Bremen is still late winter moving into early spring: expect roughly 0 to 3 C at night and 2 to 9 C by day, with occasional colder snaps below freezing and the first mild afternoons near 10 C. The CCB halls are heated but the walk from the station and the queue at the entrance are outside, so bring a warm mid-layer and a coat rather than a light jacket.
Seasonality: March is one of the more unsettled months on the North Sea-facing German coast: Bremen typically sees rain on around 10 to 12 days per month, often as short squally showers rather than all-day rain, plus gusty winds. Sun, cloud and rain can alternate within a couple of hours, so pack a packable waterproof shell, an umbrella that survives wind, and shoes with grip for wet pavements between the Hauptbahnhof hotels and Findorffstrasse.
Packing: Bring a waterproof jacket, warm mid-layers, an umbrella and comfortable shoes for March in Bremen, and business attire for the LogisticsConnect programme.
Plan your trip
Planning
Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at LogisticsConnect usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
T-1
Decide your ticket tier for LogisticsConnect: the organiser lists an early bird at EUR 210 until 31 December 2026, a standard ticket at EUR 265 and a reduced young-professional rate at EUR 65, so buying early saves money.
T-2
Complete visitor registration through logistics-connect.de and save the confirmation, since badge pickup at Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB), Findorffstrasse 101, is faster with a pre-printed QR code.
T-3
Book a hotel in the Hauptbahnhof and Findorffstrasse cluster; the Maritim Hotel Bremen is about 90 m from the CCB and there are budget options within 700 m.
T-4
Plan the Bremen Airport (BRE) transfer: taxi takes roughly 16 minutes over 7.7 km via the B6, while BSAG tram line 6 toward the city centre takes around 25 minutes.
T-5
Shortlist the programme sessions that matter to your cargo flows, typically project logistics, breakbulk handling, heavy lift engineering and abnormal load permitting.
T-6
List the exhibitors you want to meet in the heavy lift, multipurpose shipping, port and route-survey segments, and request meetings before the floor gets busy.
T-7
Pack for early-March Bremen: layered clothing, a waterproof shell, warm shoes for the walk from the station and a notebook or tablet for hall notes.
T-8
Check the CCB access route and doors opening time on the organiser schedule, then confirm your return tram or taxi plan from Findorffstrasse.
