Arrival by car

Autobahns radiate from the German capital like a star, and most of these motorways can now carry six lanes of fast moving traffic. Once you are on the A10 (Berliner Ring), look for the signs to "Messegelände" at the "Drewitz", "Oranienburg", "Schönefelder Kreuz" and "Pankow" junctions. These will lead you directly to the A100, A111 and A115 (Avus) motorway and the "Funkturm" junction, where you turn off at the "Messegelände" exit.

Environmental Zone

An Environmental Zone will come into force in Berlin on 1 January 2008.

The Environmental Zone is the area within the so-called S-Bahn ring, the light railway line encircling central Berlin. Vehicles may only enter this area if they display a valid sticker showing that their emissions do not exceed a specified level of fine particulates. Signs have been erected on the roads clearly showing where the Environmental Zone begins. Although the southern section of the city expressway, the Stadtautobahn, is within the S-Bahn ring, it is not classified as part of the Environmental Zone because it is also used to enable vehicles to drive around the restricted area.

It is an offence to drive a vehicle inside the Evironmental Zone without the appropriate sticker, and this is punishable by a fine. Offenders may also be awarded one penalty point on their driving licences.

The Exhibition Grounds and ICC are located outside the Environmental Zone. Visitors arriving by car via the motorway system and entering the Exhibition Grounds directly via the interchange marked "Messegelände/Messedamm" are outside the zone and do not therefore require a sticker.
