ROUTES

The access roads to the Exhibition Center and the car parks are signposted “Messe” (Exhibition Center) and “Hauptversamm- lung der Bayer AG” (Annual Stockholders’ Meeting of Bayer AG). A free shuttle bus service will be available from Köln Messe/ Deutz train station (Barmer Platz exit) to the North Entrance (Eingang Nord) of the Exhibition Center.

Based on the experience of previous years, the roads are likely to be very busy, especially shortly before the Stockhol- ders’ Meeting begins. We would therefore advise you to use public transport.
