An interactive hall map, the extensive exhibitor and product database where manufacturers present themselves with their trade fair innovations as well as the “My Organiser” feature are all ideal digital assistants for planning a trade fair visit to Düsseldorf. So visitors can embark upon their excursion of the CARAVAN SALON halls with the passion that everyone in the industry and community shares without any delays.

E-Bike-Parcours in front of Hall 15

Caravanning is a type of holidaymaking also particularly suited to exploring your holiday destination by bike or e-vehicle and being mobile because these items are easy to transport.
