Environmental zone

Since April 2012, most of Cologne’s metrolpolitan area is a low emission zone, into which only vehicles sporting one of the stickers for emission groups 2-4 are allowed to enter.

The Koelmesse exhibition center is, however, accessible for all types of vehicles, even if they do not bear one of the aforementioned stickers. You will find directions on how to reach the site without a sticker at map low emission zone including highway connections.

Environmental badges

Trade fair visitors from Germany and abroad with appropriately equipped vehicles can obtain the stickers for access to the Low Emission Zone from
