By public transport: Tram line 16 will take you from the Südbahnhof station to the ‘Festhalle/Messe’ stop in only about 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also take the S-Bahn lines S3, S4, S5 or S6 from Südbahnhof and get off at the ‘Messe’ station. Allow a total of 30 minutes, including the walk to Südbahnhof.
