Arrival

The Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal is centrally located on the Johannisberg in the south of Elberfeld, not far from the city center and Wuppertal’s main train station. It is easy to reach by public transport, by car and from the airports of Dusseldorf, Dortmund and Cologne/Bonn. The ICE train station, many hotels and the city center are only a few minutes walk away.
