About InterTabac
InterTabac, the trade fair for tobacco products and smoking accessories, returns to Messe Dortmund from Tuesday 14 to Thursday 16 September 2027, alongside NUBIZ for next generation products and InterSupply for tobacco product manufacturing. It is aimed at trade visitors from retail, wholesale and distribution, and the organiser puts its audience at around 14,500 trade visitors from around 80 countries.
In 2026 the three fairs brought together around 750 companies from 64 countries in ten exhibition halls, and about 60 per cent of visitors travelled from outside Germany, according to the organiser. Theme worlds cover cigars, cigarettes, pipes, tobacco products, RYO and MYO, shisha and smoking accessories.
For InterTabac hotels in Dortmund, the Westfalenhallen fairground is 10 minutes from Dortmund Hauptbahnhof on the U45, so the Kreuzviertel next to the halls and the city centre both work well. This page shows live Dortmund hotel rates for your dates; fair tickets are sold separately by the organiser.
Who attends

- The AirportExpress bus runs non-stop between the Dortmund Airport terminal and Dortmund Hauptbahnhof in about 25 minutes, according to Dortmund Airport, and stops on the station forecourt
- The AirportExpress and the AirportShuttle are not part of the VRR local transport network, so you need a separate ticket for them

Where to stay in Dortmund

- Dortmund city centre and the Hauptbahnhof area have the widest choice of hotels and restaurants, with direct U-Bahn lines to the fair

Do you need a visa for InterTabac?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current visa and entry rules for your passport before you travel; the German Federal Foreign Office publishes a country table showing who needs a visa for Germany
- Germany is in the Schengen Area; EU, EEA and Swiss citizens travel with a passport or national ID card
- Non EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System, which became fully operational on 10 April 2026, so allow extra time at passport control
- ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorisation for visa exempt visitors, was not in operation when we checked; the EU says it will announce the start date several months ahead
eVisa / visa required
- If your passport needs a visa, apply for a Schengen short stay visa through a German embassy, consulate or its appointed visa centre; EU guidance is to apply at least 15 days before your journey and no earlier than six months beforehand
- The organiser warns that waiting times for visa appointments can range from around four weeks to two months depending on the season, so apply early

First time at InterTabac?
- InterTabac is a trade fair for retail, wholesale and distribution, and the organiser's website is for trade professionals in the tobacco industry; it is not a consumer show
- In 2026 one fair ticket covered InterTabac, NUBIZ, InterSupply and CB Expo: EUR 52 for a permanent ticket or EUR 33 for a day ticket; 2027 prices were not published when we checked
- Buying a ticket needs a one time verification and a customer account in the organiser's ticket shop, returning visitors included, so register well before you travel
- Networking events such as the Cigar Culture Summit, PouchXChange, the Get Together Evening and the Alternative Awards were ticketed separately in 2026
- Exhibitors with an exhibitor pass may enter two hours before opening on the first day and one hour before opening from the second day
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- In 2026 the Cigar Culture Summit gathered the cigar industry on the Monday before the halls opened, so cigar buyers may want to arrive on Sunday evening
- The halls close at 17:00 on Thursday 16 September, so an evening train or flight home is realistic on the last day
- The organiser lists nearby hotels and a hotel booking contact, HGI Hotel Reservation Worldwide; Event Escapes is independent and not affiliated with InterTabac or Messe Dortmund, and you book a named hotel directly with us at the rate shown
