With 1,450 exhibitors, FACHPACK is one of the largest specialised trade fairs in the packaging industry. Between the many visits and to process the impressions you have gathered, it is worth taking a breather. The city of Nuremberg itself, a place rich in history, sights and culinary highlights, offers many opportunities for this. But the exhibition centre itself also has some hidden gems that are perfect for recharging your batteries. And who could know the area better than the FACHPACK team?
Luisa Meyer, Coordinator Exhibitions, recommends the Rose Garden as a retreat: “The Rose Garden is ideal if you want to catch your breath or need a short break from the hustle and bustle of the trade fair. It's also a great place for small, informal meetings. You can end the day here in a relaxed atmosphere after a successful visit to the trade fair.”
For Christiane Drescher, Exhibition Manager, Hall 3C in particular is a place to pause for a moment: “This light-flooded exhibition hall, designed by Zaha Hadid Architecture, impresses with its innovative load-bearing concept and the undulating louvres in the interior. It is not only an architectural highlight, but also a place that invites you to linger and marvel.”
PR Manager Helen Wirries' favourite place is unfortunately not open to everyone, but she does reveal a brief glimpse behind the scenes: “The Press Center East is a special place for me. Media representatives from all over the world come together here and there is a familiar yet busy atmosphere. In addition to the lively discussions and the exchange of information, the Press Centre East also offers the opportunity to retreat and take a deep breath. I like being here.”
Just behind the exhibition centre is the Volkspark Dutzendteich with its idyllic ponds and extensive green spaces. “It's great for jogging, walking or pedal boating. The Gasthaus Gutmann, which also has a large beer garden, is a good place to stop for a bite to eat,” says Katja Feeß, Director Marketing.
Just a few steps away from this insider tip, football fans can also get their money's worth and pay a visit to the club. The 1. FC Nuremberg stadium is not far from the exhibition centre. “There is a small fan shop at the stadium where you can buy jerseys and other fan merchandise. You can even book a guided tour of the stadium for 7 euros,” says FACHPACK Manager Daniel Weiß.
