Visitors will be asked to decide at the time they purchase their admission tickets which form of transportation they will use. This will make it possible to predict and control the flow of traffic. Visitors arriving by car will receive a carpark ticket along with their admission ticket; 25,000 parking spaces will be available at the EXPO site.

Approximately 100,000 overnight guests are expected daily. Cities such as Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main as well as the Ruhr area are being integrated into the EXPO tourism concept. A supra-regional reservation system will guarantee that enough accommodations will be available within this region to enable guests to reach the EXPO site by high-speed ICE trains in less than two hours.

Visitors will be brought to the EXPO grounds in the most environmentally sound manner possible. Existing transport connections will be improved: The Hanover metropolitan railway network (S-Bahn) will be enlarged by a new line; new S-Bahn connections will whisk visitors from the Hanover airport to the EXPO site via the Hanover main train station in just 20 minutes. ICE trains will be able to stop at the new main-line railway station to be built directly adjacent to the EXPO grounds. A new Terminal C will be built at Hanover’s Langenhagen Airport, and autobahns A2 and A 7 will be widened to six lanes.
