The S-Bahn routes S5 and S5x also take visitors from the Leipzig/Halle airport to the trade fair grounds in just a few minutes. At Leipzig's main train station and at the City Tunnel stations of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland, travellers from all other directions can also access the routes S2, S5, S5X or S6 to the trade fair. Driving time from Leipzig's main train station: 6 minutes, from Leipzig's market place: 8 minutes. Driving time from Halle's main train station: 17 minutes. The distance between the exhibition train station and the exhibition grounds is approximately 750 metres.
