Poznań Motor Show - where to stay during the most important automotive event in Poland?

17.04.2026 - 31.12.2099

Poznań Motor Show is an annual automotive celebration that, over four days – this year from April 23 to 26 – transforms the Poznań International Fair into the largest automotive event in Central and Eastern Europe. Tens of thousands of people come here: car enthusiasts, exhibitors, car dealers, journalists, and fans from all over Poland. And everyone is after the same thing – finding accommodation during the period when Poznań is bursting at the seams.

If you plan to attend Motor Show 2026, it's worth arranging accommodation in advance. Location, standards, and parking availability make a real difference when you have to commute to the fair every morning and return after several hours in crowded exhibition halls in the evening.

Accommodation during Poznań Motor Show - why does location matter so much?

The MTP at Głogowska 10 has an excellent location. You can reach it on foot from the city center within a few minutes, there are many tram and bus stops around the venue, and the PKP railway station is just a few to a dozen minutes’ walk from the fair gates. This means that accommodation in central Poznań is just as practical as staying right next to the MTP – and often much more comfortable because after the day ends you have access to restaurants, bars, and cultural centers.

Apartments near MTP in Poznań are mainly located between the strict city center and Jeżyce – a district with good transport connections and a rich gastronomic offer. It is also worth knowing that an electronic ticket for the fair exempts you from public transport fees for the entire duration of the event – a real saving for a multi-day stay.

Apartment or hotel – what to choose for the fair period?

The advantage of a hotel is an on-site reception, breakfast, and service, but all this comes at the cost of less space and rigid check-in hours. An apartment offers you more: a separate bedroom, kitchenette, workspace, and the possibility to spread out with fair materials – all with a greater sense of privacy than a hotel.

For people coming for business or for a few days, renting apartments in Poznań during the fair is simply a more functional option. If you want a luxurious business accommodation in Poznań with full facilities – spacious interiors, fast internet, and a private kitchen – it’s worth checking our Super-Apartamenty apartment offer, located in several places near MTP.

What to pay attention to when booking accommodation for Motor Show 2026?

Several things are more important for bookings during the fair than usual:

  • parking – if you arrive by car, your own parking space is a big time and stress saver. MTP parking has 650 spaces but fills up quickly;
  • flexible check-in and check-out – important convenience with a long journey or changing fair schedule;
  • kitchenette – during a multi-day stay, the ability to prepare breakfast or a simple meal greatly improves comfort and can save money;
  • fast Wi-Fi – a necessity for exhibitors and business guests;
  • number of bedrooms – if traveling as a couple or team, it’s worth booking an apartment with a separate bedroom.

Accommodation for companies and exhibitors – different needs, different priorities

Accommodation for exhibitors in Poznań is a separate planning category. Companies participating in Motor Show often look for accommodation for 4–5 nights, for several people at once, with the possibility to issue an invoice and flexible arrival dates. In this case, renting an apartment works better than a hotel: it offers more space, privacy, and the possibility to adapt conditions to the team's needs.

Among apartments with parking in central Poznań, premises on Towarowa Street perform particularly well during the fair – the International Fair series are apartments of 60–80 m², with a workspace and convenient access to MTP. This proposal is designed precisely for fair guests and business delegations. Company accommodation in Poznań during Motor Show should be booked well in advance – availability falls sharply just weeks before the event.

Plan your stay in Poznań in advance

An apartment in central Poznań with parking access, fast internet, and space to relax allows you to focus on why you came: premieres, meetings, and automotive excitement. Check the availability of Super-Apartamenty apartments for the term April 23–26 and book your place before they're gone!

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the Poznań city center from MTP?

The Poznań International Fair is located at Głogowska 10, in the western part of the city center. From most central locations, a tram ride takes 10–15 minutes. On foot from the Old Market area, it takes about 20–25 minutes.

Is it worth booking accommodation well in advance?

Definitely yes – Motor Show attracts tens of thousands of visitors over four days, and Poznań has very limited accommodation availability during this period. The best apartments near MTP disappear from the offer many weeks before the fair.

Are apartments with parking in central Poznań available for the fair period?

Yes, but the number of spots with parking is limited. When booking, it’s worth indicating this requirement and confirming availability directly with the property.

Can you rent an apartment for an entire team of exhibitors?

Larger apartments (60–130 m², 2–3 rooms) allow accommodating a team in one place – which is more convenient and often cheaper than several separate hotel rooms.
