Why not stay outside Düsseldorf and save £££’s…

Take the U79 and it will drop you off at the

Messe Düsseldorf in about 45 minutes.

south of Düsseldorf

Intercity trains will whisk you into Düsseldorf

city centre in just over 20 minutes, connecting

to the U-bahn with a further 20 minutes to travel

on to the Messe.

Getting to know Dusseldorf

Getting around

is free throughout Düsseldorf if you are in possession of an exhibitor pass during the show.

Sights of Düsseldorf

There are so many sights to see in this city. You can take a stroll along the River Rhein

promenade with lively bars and restaurants dotted along it, or take a tour up the Tower at

MedienHafen with its panoramic views of the city from the bar on the top platform, to taking

some time out to window shop at the world famous Koenigsallee and surrounding shopping

areas. There is plenty to keep you occupied when in Düsseldorf

Going out and dining in Düsseldorf

The so-called ‘Rhenish’ lust for living is infectious. One hub of entertainment is the old town

(Altstadt) with door after door providing visitors with apparently the longest bar in the world.

The variety of excellent restaurants and bistros in Düsseldorf is one of a kind. Whether

traditional, local or international such as French, German, Italian or Belgian, the variety of

style, quality and budget is extraordinary.

A new up and coming area of Düsseldorf is the MedienHafen (Media Harbour), a previously

dilapidated harbour, now redeveloped to reveal a modern and lively place with a diverse

mix of businesses interspersed with an increasing number of residential properties. The vibrant

gastronomic landscape adds to the creative atmosphere. Modern and upscale hotels in the

area also ensure a continuous influx of guests.

Please contact us if you would like further information on restaurants to dine at, or on

sourcing suitable venues for your meetings during the show.

These are likely to be higher the closer you get to your arrival date, so contact us as soon as you can. If you change the number in your party, the accommodation price maybe be re-calculated.

cause or to be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to anyone else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges will then apply and no refund will be given.

If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Events department giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to identify your concerns quickly and speed up our response to you. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract. Please bear in mind that we are only liable to compensate you in line with these booking conditions - in particular clause 9 above makes clear that our obligation is to choose the accommodation provider with reasonable skill and care. Any dispute or claim arising out of this contract that can't be settled between us can be referred by you to ABTA arbitration (see clause 14) or court. We agree that the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction and English law applies (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scots or Northern Irish law, as applicable.)

13. FINANCIAL PROTECTION: The monies you pay to us for your accommodation are protected by means of a bond held by ABTA. This means that, if in the unlikely event of our insolvency your accommodation can't be provided, you will receive your money back or, if your stay has started, arrangements will be made for you to be able to continue as planned.

14. ABTA: We are a Member of ABTA, membership number14427. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. The arbitration scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently. It provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within eighteen months of the date of return from holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
