Escort & wheelchairs
We look forward to welcoming you to our centre. Here you will find all the information you need about accompanying persons, assistance dogs and the possibility of hiring wheelchairs from us at Kap Europa.
Accessibility is an important part of our trade fair. We endeavour to provide you with a barrier-free and pleasant visit to the fair. Should you have any further questions or special requirements for your visit, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to providing you with an inspiring and enriching trade fair experience.
Accompanying persons:
The admission fee of €5 per person per day is the same for everyone, but the number of accompanying persons can simply be entered at the time of registration in order to register them and save on admission for everyone. This also eliminates the need to present a severely disabled pass with the “B” mark.
Our trade fair guides are available for those who want or need assistance. They are specially trained to cater to the needs of the blind and visually impaired. They offer orientation assistance, support in communicating with exhibitors and help to discover the wide range of offers at the trade fair. This service is subject to a charge and can be booked on our information page on the trade fair guides.
Companion dogs:
Companion dogs are very welcome at our exhibition centre. We understand that these loyal companions are more than just pets – they are valued helpers and companions. All we ask is that you keep your companion dog on a lead at all times during your visit and ensure that it behaves calmly to ensure the safety and well-being of all visitors to the fair.
The welfare of guide dogs for the blind (e.g. drinking stations) is catered for on the ground floor near the exit doors.
There is also a small meadow in the immediate vicinity of Kap Europa where dogs can run free if necessary. For better planning in advance, here is the link to the green area: Platz der Einheit
Wheelchair or scooter hire:
Kap Europa belongs to Messe Frankfurt. It offers the possibility to rent wheelchairs or scooters at our reception. The deposit to be paid when the wheelchair or scooter is issued is €50.
To ensure that we can receive sufficient quantities of these from the trade fair centre in Kap Europa in advance, we ask you to make a reservation at info@sightcity.net with the subject “Wheelchair reservation” at least 2 weeks before the start of the event. In return, we will send you the trade fair’s loan form, which you should complete and bring with you when you hand over the wheelchair or scooter.
