Accessibility in the Kongress Palais
We want our visitors to enjoy their stay with us and keep fond memories of it. We are particularly keen to ensure that people with disabilities can also enjoy an all-round pleasant event experience without any obstacles or restrictions. That is why we have summarized all the information you need for a barrier-free visit to the Kongress Palais below.
Our trained Protex service staff will be happy to help you on site. You can recognize the staff by their clothing, which is marked with the company name "Protex".
There are two tram/tram stops directly at the main entrances to the Kongress Palais:

Both stations are equipped with a tactile floor guidance system and an acoustic information station.
