About HOGA Nürnberg
HOGA Nürnberg, the trade fair for the hotel, restaurant and commercial kitchen sectors that bills itself as Bavaria's hospitality fair, returns to the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from Sunday 17 to Tuesday 19 January 2027, open from 10:00 to 18:00 with last admission at 17:00. Held every two years since 1950, the 2027 edition is the 34th.
Across four halls it covers food and beverage, hospitality, interiors, kitchen technology, digital tools and services, with the Service-Bund's FOOD Special alongside, chef demonstrations, talks and masterclasses, and the SCA German Coffee Championships. The 2025 edition drew 16,600 trade visitors over three days and around 520 exhibitors.
Visitors are restaurateurs, hoteliers, chefs, caterers, bakers, café and bar operators and their teams. The only entrance is NCC Ost, reached by free shuttle bus from the U1 Messe station, which is eight minutes from Nuremberg Central Station, so hotels in the Old Town and by the station work as well as those in Langwasser.
This page shows live Nuremberg hotel rates for your dates; your HOGA ticket is bought separately from the organiser.

NuernbergMesse sits just south of the old town, a few U-Bahn stops (U1) from the medieval centre where most dining lives. Franconian portions are hearty and kitchens close relatively early, so plan client dinners for a prompt start.

How do you get around during HOGA Nürnberg?
Getting to the halls each day
- NCC Ost is the only entrance to HOGA, so do not walk in from the Mitte or West entrances by the U-Bahn; use the free shuttle buses from the NCC Mitte stop
- Your fair ticket does not include VGN public transport; day tickets cover the Nuremberg, Fürth and Stein area if you have no MobiCard or annual pass
- A day ticket is good for one visit a day, so once you leave the grounds you cannot go back in on the same ticket that day
- Cloakrooms and lockers are in NCC Ost, where you can also leave a trolley or suitcase, and Wi-Fi is free across the site
Langwasser, the Old Town or Fürth?
- Langwasser, around the fairground, keeps the morning trip shortest
- The Old Town and the Central Station area have the widest choice of hotels and restaurants, and the U1 runs straight from the Central Station to Messe
- Fürth, next to Nuremberg, is a good fallback if central hotels are busy; the organiser points to day tickets for the Nuremberg, Fürth and Stein area
- The Nuremberg Congress and Tourism Centre also lists hotels in the wider Nuremberg region
Do you need a visa for HOGA Nürnberg?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current visa and entry rules for your passport before you travel; the German Federal Foreign Office publishes the list of who needs a visa for Germany
- Germany is in the Schengen Area, so EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a valid passport or national ID card
- Many other passport holders can visit Germany for a short business trip without a visa, but the conditions depend on your nationality, so confirm them on the Federal Foreign Office list
- The EU's official travel site, travel-europe.europa.eu, explains the EU's Entry/Exit System and the planned ETIAS travel authorisation; check it shortly before you fly
eVisa / visa required
- If your passport is not on the visa free list, apply for a Schengen short stay visa through the German embassy, consulate or the visa centre it appoints in your country
- Apply well ahead of a January trip, as appointment and processing times vary by country and the holiday season can slow things down
- The HOGA website had no visa or invitation letter information when we checked, so exhibitors who need a letter should ask the organiser, AFAG, early
Documents to carry
- A passport or, for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens, a national ID card, valid for your whole stay
- Your HOGA ticket as a PDF or digital ticket on your phone, or your exhibitor pass
- Hotel booking and return travel details, plus travel insurance and copies of any visa supporting documents
Entry and visa rules change; check current requirements with the German embassy or consulate, or official EU sources, before you book.
