2026 Klassikwelt Bodensee

KLASSIKWELT BODENSEE is a major classic-mobility trade fair at Messe Friedrichshafen showcasing vehicles on land, water and in the air across 12 halls and an on-site 1.6 km circuit. The public show runs 12–14 June 2026 with dynamic demonstrations, special shows and manufacturer/exhibitor stands.

Organised by Messe Friedrichshafen GmbH with partners including ADAC and FIVA, the event attracts dealers, restorers and collecting enthusiasts and includes historic racing, air displays and a large oldtimer area.

A concentrated look at classic mobility across cars, motorcycles, boats and aircraft, all under one roof and on the adjacent circuit and apron.

What makes it worth the trip:

• Large exhibitor presence: around 800 exhibitors and over 2,000 young/oldtimers on display.
• Live demonstrations: historic racing on the 1.6 km circuit plus aircraft and boat presentations.
• One venue convenience: 12 halls plus outdoor showgrounds at Messe Friedrichshafen for easy access to multiple disciplines.

Best way to experience it:

Arrive early on weekend days to beat the mid-day crowds, pick up an online ticket in advance to save time at the gate, and plan a route by interest (halls for dealers/restorers, circuit for dynamic events, apron for aviation). Allow a full day to cover indoor exhibits and outdoor demonstrations.
