About automatica
automatica, Messe München's leading exhibition for smart automation and robotics, returns to Messe München from Tuesday 22 to Friday 25 June 2027. It takes place in Munich every two years and covers assembly and handling, industrial and service robotics, machine vision, and software and cloud computing, with a strong focus on AI in robotics.
The 2025 edition was the most visited yet, with just under 49,300 visitors from more than 90 countries, around 800 exhibitors from 40 countries and more than 1,100 robots across six halls. In 2027 it is again co-located with Laser World of Photonics and World of Quantum under the same roof and with the same opening hours, and the munich_i high-tech platform runs alongside it.
With three fairs on the grounds in one week, automatica hotels in Messestadt Riem next to the halls and along the U2 line through the city centre are worth securing early. This page shows live Munich hotel rates for your dates; trade fair tickets are bought separately from the organiser.

How do you get to automatica?
From Munich Airport (MUC)
- Messe München is 42 kilometres from Munich Airport, the organiser says, and shuttle buses, public transport and taxis go directly to the exhibition centre
- During some fairs Messe München runs its own nonstop shuttle bus from Terminal 1 (areas A and MAC) and Terminal 2, about 45 minutes one way; check the shuttle timetable for June 2027 before you rely on it
- S1 and S8 S-Bahn trains leave from below the airport's central area every 10 minutes for the city centre, a ride of 45 to 60 minutes depending on the route, then change to the U2 for the fair
- The organiser quotes a fixed taxi fare of €90 from the airport to the exhibition centre, a journey of around 35 minutes
By rail or by car
- Long distance trains arrive at München Hauptbahnhof (Munich Central Station), where the U2 towards Messestadt Ost reaches the fair in about 20 minutes without changing
- The organiser points to Deutsche Bahn event tickets for long distance travel in Germany to automatica 2027
- Messe München sits directly next to the A94 motorway, and a dynamic traffic control system directs you to the nearest free parking during the event
- The organiser lists visitor parking at €15 a day in the outdoor car park and €21 a day in the multi-storey car park
How do you get around during automatica?
Getting to the halls each day
- The automatica halls are all around the East Entrance (Am Messeturm, 81829 Munich), served by the U2 stop Messestadt Ost
- Your Print@home ticket does not include public transport, the organiser says, so buy an MVG, MVV or DB ticket for tariff zone M
- From the S-Bahn, take the S2 to Riem, then bus 190 to Messestadt Ost for the East Entrance
- Visitor hours are 09:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and 09:00 to 16:00 on Friday 25 June 2027, the same as Laser World of Photonics
Messestadt Riem or central Munich?
- Messestadt Riem is the closest base to the halls and suits early meetings, but check each hotel's position on the map, as not every hotel described as near the Messe is within walking distance
- The Hauptbahnhof and the Altstadt are on the U2, so a central hotel still gives you a direct ride to the fair with Munich's restaurants and beer gardens close by in the evening
- Haidhausen, around Ostbahnhof, sits between the centre and the fair
- Going by car or taxi from the station? The organiser suggests allowing at least 25 minutes more than the U2
Do you need a visa for automatica?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Germany is in the Schengen Area; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a passport or national ID card
- The German Federal Foreign Office lists citizens of the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and many other countries as needing no visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180 day period
- Non EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, fully operational since 10 April 2026, with fingerprints and a facial image taken at the border, so allow extra time at passport control
- ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors, was not yet in operation when we checked; the EU says it will announce the start date several months ahead, so check before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- Nationals of countries such as India, China, South Africa and Türkiye need a Schengen short stay (type C) visa, applied for through German missions or their appointed visa centres
- Under EU rules you can apply no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel; standard processing takes 15 days and can be extended to 45
- Messe München says an official invitation letter is generally no longer needed for a trade fair visa and that visa fees are waived for exhibitors; if the visa section still asks for a letter, contact its visa service or its foreign representative in your country
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area
- Your personal Print@home ticket, on paper or on your phone, together with an official photo ID, which admission staff may ask to see
- Hotel booking and return travel details, plus copies of your visa supporting documents and travel medical insurance if you need a visa
Entry and visa rules change; check current requirements with the German embassy or consulate, or official EU sources, before you book.
First time at automatica?
- automatica runs every two years: after 24 to 27 June 2025, the next edition is 22 to 25 June 2027
- Ticket prices for 2027 were not yet published when we checked; the organiser says buying online is cheaper than at the fair and lets you go straight in
- Tickets are personal and valid only with an official photo ID; if an exhibitor sends you a voucher, the ticket is free to you, and multi day tickets do not have to be used on consecutive days
- Free WiFi covers the halls, coats and luggage can be checked at every open entrance, and dogs are not allowed except guide and assistance dogs
- An optional PLUS TICKET adds €5 to the regular price as a voluntary contribution to climate projects
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- In 2025 the supporting programme ran to 14 showcases and stages, more than 270 keynotes, guided tours and workshops, plus the munich_i Hightech Summit curated by the Technical University of Munich's robotics institute
- Your week can cover more than one fair: Laser World of Photonics and World of Quantum share the grounds and the dates, so plan which halls you need before you choose a hotel
- Messe München links TRADEFAIRS by DERTOUR, a private room service and Munich Tourism for accommodation, and warns visitors to check unfamiliar booking agencies; Event Escapes is independent and not affiliated with automatica or Messe München, and you book a named hotel directly with us at the rate shown
