ITB Berlin, positioned by its organiser as "The World's Leading Travel Trade Show", runs 16 to 18 March 2027 at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, alongside the ITB Berlin Convention. Messe Berlin GmbH organises the trade-only event: nearly 97,000 people and 5,601 exhibitors attended the 2026 anniversary edition. See the official ITB Berlin homepage.
2027 brings a one-time date shift: the show usually runs in early March, but moves to 16 to 18 March 2027 so Muslim exhibitors and visitors can mark Eid al-Fitr first, then attend the full show (organiser announcement). CityCube Berlin becomes an exhibition hall for the first time, taking exhibitors relocated from four halls. The Maldives is the official host country for 2027, and the ITB Berlin Convention adds a new AI Track on AI in tourism, alongside its Orange, Blue, eTravel and Green stages.
ITB Berlin 2027 runs three full days, Tuesday 16 to Thursday 18 March, at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds and, new this year, CityCube Berlin. Published opening hours vary by source and by visitor type, so check the current schedule on the ITB Berlin homepage before you plan your mornings.
The co-located ITB Berlin Convention runs the same three days across four stages, Orange, Blue, eTravel and Green, plus a new AI Track on practical AI applications in tourism. See the Convention page. ITB Berlin is trade-only: there is no on-site box office, and tickets are sold online only, through the ticket shop.
As of 30 September 2026, ITB Berlin has not published 2027 prices. The organiser's own ticket page states: "Tickets for ITB Berlin 2027 can be bought here from mid-October 2026." Trade visitor tickets go on sale online only at that date; there is no box office on site.
Tickets for the ITB Berlin Convention follow a separate schedule, on sale from December 2026, per the Convention page. The organiser's hosted-buyer programme, the ITB Buyers Circle, gives its 1,300 hand-picked senior buyers free show and Convention admission; that is an invitation-style programme, not a ticket purchase.
Booking direct at habyt.com is always the best price for Habyt Berlin Waterfront, with free cancellation. ITB Berlin brings together hotel chains, OTAs and distribution specialists, and checking the direct rate first is second nature to a travel professional.
ITB Berlin 2027 tickets go on sale from mid-October 2026 through the official ticket shop; buy in advance, since there is no box office on site. Pack for mid-March Berlin: the ten-year average for the show dates is a high of 9.2°C and a low of 0.9°C, with rain on close to a third of days (Open-Meteo historical data), so a warm, waterproof layer belongs in the case.
ITB Berlin runs three full days, so mornings matter. From Habyt Berlin Waterfront, walk 4 minutes to S Rummelsburg, take the S3 to S+U Warschauer Straße, change to the S9 to S Messe Süd, and allow about 44 to 50 minutes door to door: plan for an early start each day. Check S-Bahn Berlin for live departures and the ITB Berlin site for the day's schedule before you leave.
New for 2027, CityCube Berlin joins the exhibition halls for the first time, with exhibitors from four halls relocated there; check the current event overview for your hall. See visitBerlin for getting around the city between meetings.
Habyt Berlin Waterfront sits in Friedrichshain, on Berlin's east side by the Rummelsburger See. The Berlin Exhibition Grounds sit in the west, in Westend/Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf by the Funkturm, a straight-line distance of about 13.6 km. Plan on a real cross-city trip. The fastest route is to walk 4 minutes to S Rummelsburg, take the S3 to S+U Warschauer Straße, then change to the S9 to S Messe Süd, about 44 minutes door to door. An alternative is the 5-minute walk to S Ostkreuz for the S41 or S42 Ringbahn, no change, about 49 to 51 minutes. Check live departures with S-Bahn Berlin.
The venue operator, Messe Berlin GmbH, runs eleven car parks around the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, including P14, the closest to CityCube, and P18, the largest at about 550 spaces. Rates are not published on the venue's own parking page; check there closer to the date. Messe Berlin and ITB Berlin both recommend public transport over driving, since on-site parking is limited.
Historical average for 16 to 18 March (2016 to 2025): highs around 9.2°C, lows around 0.9°C, with rain on 9 of 30 days, close to a third (Open-Meteo historical data). Some years turn colder, with lows well below freezing overnight. Pack a warm, layered coat, not spring clothing.
Habyt Berlin Waterfront will not put you at the Exhibition Grounds' door. Choose it for what it is: a lakeside base by the Rummelsburger See, about 44 to 50 minutes from the show by S-Bahn, at the best price direct. This page is part of Habyt Berlin's guide to Berlin's business events; see the property page.
Choose the Urban Studio or the lake-view Bay Studio. The fully equipped kitchens, including shared kitchens, suit a three-day show with an early start each morning. The coworking space gives you a desk to prep notes before the ride west, and free cancellation keeps the booking flexible while ITB's own 2027 ticket and hall details are still being confirmed.
These answers draw on ITB Berlin's official pages and the ticket page.
