Heimtextil is the world's largest trade fair for home and contract textiles, and it traditionally opens the Frankfurt fair year each January. If you are a buyer, designer or exhibitor, here is how to plan your airport transport.
Heimtextil 2027: Dates
The next Heimtextil runs from 12 to 15 January 2027 at Messe Frankfurt. As one of the first major fairs of the year, it draws a large international crowd in the depths of winter — so reliable transport matters.
From the Airport to the Halls
Messe Frankfurt is around 12 km from Frankfurt Airport, roughly 15–20 minutes by car off-peak. A fixed-price private transfer takes you door-to-door, warm and dry, with your driver meeting you in arrivals — a real plus in January. See our airport-to-Messe guide.
For Buyers and Exhibitors
Textile buyers carry swatches and samples — far easier in a private car than a crowded January platform.
A Business Van suits exhibitors with rolls, samples and stand materials, and daily hotel–Messe transfers keep the four days running smoothly.
Pricing
Transfers are fixed-price from €45 for the standard car, agreed before travel and unaffected by fair-week surges. See all routes and pricing.
Plan Ahead
- Book early — Heimtextil opens the fair year and fills the city.
- Allow for winter weather; a transfer avoids cold platforms and waits.
- Confirm your terminal (Terminal 1 or the new Terminal 3).
