Travel
The CCH - Congress Center Hamburg is conveniently situated at the heart of the city, right next to the Dammtor mainline and commuter train station. Regardless of your mode of transportation, it's simple to locate and reach the CCH in Hamburg.
Please note: Due to temporary construction activities, Dammtor train station is currently not serving as an ICE stop.
You should arrive at Hamburg Central Station and from there you can easily reach the CCH by taking the S21 commuter train going towards Elbgaustraße and getting off at Dammtor station, which is just one stop away. It will only take a two-minute walk from there to the CCH.
If you are taking the U-Bahn, get off Stephansplatz (Oper/CCH) or Messehallen, then walk through the Planten un Blomen park to reach the CCH.
Choose from various taxi providers such as Hansa Taxi and Taxi Hamburg, or explore an alternative experience with MOIA, Hamburg's electric ridesharing service. Accommodating up to 6 passengers, enjoy ample space, free Wi-Fi, and USB ports during your ride. Simply download the MOIA app, enter your destination, and the shared taxi will collect you from a designated meeting point.

Please make a note of the address for your taxi ride: Congressplatz 1, 20355 Hamburg. Be aware that the CCH is not located within the Hamburg fairgrounds.
If you are traveling to the CCH by car or motorcycle from outside Hamburg, we advise you to take the speedways, then follow the “Messe / CCH” signs.
The Hamburg Airport connects to 115 national and international destinations through more than 50 airlines. The airport is situated in the Fuhlsbüttel district of Hamburg.
To get to the CCH quickly, you can take the "S" train commuter service from the airport, which will take around 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can opt for a taxi or the MOIA ridesharing service (for more information see above). If the traffic is not congested, the car ride should only take 20 minutes.
