The Touristik & Caravaning (TC) is Central Germany’s largest holiday fair – where wanderlust meets road trip dreams, outdoor enthusiasm, and fine cuisine. For five days, the Leipzig Exhibition Centre transforms into a huge marketplace for travel: featuring destinations from all over the world, camping and caravanning innovations, travel tech, culinary delights, and a stage program. In short: Get inspired, compare, experience firsthand, get advice, and book directly if desired. This is how the fair understands its promise – and that’s precisely why tens of thousands flock to Leipzig every year.
When and where Will the Next TC Take Place?
The upcoming edition will take place from Wednesday, November 19 to Sunday, November 23, 2025 at the Leipzig Exhibition Centre – compactly over five days, ideal for day trips or an entire exhibition weekend. Anyone looking to plan their travels and mobile life for the new year is in the right place here: many premieres, comprehensive advice, short distances between the halls.
What Can I Expect on Site?
The TC brings together four worlds under one roof: Tourism with destinations and tour operators, Caravaning with motorhomes, vans, caravans and accessories, Outdoor with equipment and active holidays – plus cuisine from regional to international. The whole event is deliberately designed as an experience fair: sit in, try out beds, discuss routes, compare offers, attend workshops, and be captivated by shows on the stages. Those who want to delve deeper will find plenty of expert advice and practical tips for beginners and advanced users alike.
How Big is the Fair – and What Was the Recent Response?
The TC is a major event: over 450 exhibitors showcased holiday trends in 2024 across approximately 60,000 square meters, from caravan premieres to culinary streets. Demand was high: 56,900 visitors attended the last edition – a strong signal for the desire to travel in the region. For 2025, the organizers are once again announcing a rich mix of novelties, advice, and entertainment.
Who is the TC Especially for?
For everyone who has travel plans in the pipeline – from the first thought of camping to concrete booking. Beginners get basic knowledge about layouts, vehicle classes, and budget; families compare child-friendly setups; outdoor enthusiasts test equipment; connoisseurs sample their way through the food stalls. And those who prefer to fly, sail, or travel by train can speak directly with destinations and organizers about route suggestions, seasons, and deals.
How Does Ticket Purchase Work – and how Do I Prepare?
Tickets are conveniently available online; the fair’s website also provides exhibitor directories and hall information for planning your day. Pro tip: Set a rough itinerary (e.g., first caravaning, then destinations), plan time buffers, and book consultation appointments if you seriously want to check out a vehicle or a trip. This way you get the most out of your fair visit.
What are Typical Highlights?
Every year, premieres in the caravanning segment ensure crowded aisles – new layouts, lightweight construction, self-sufficiency packages, smart control, and accessories from LFP batteries to roof tents. On the tourism side, surprise destinations and trending topics like slow travel, rail tours, active holidays, and city breaks await. Outdoor features test zones and expert talks. Especially popular are the new cycling highlights showcased there. Cuisine provides the perfect culinary journey to complement it. Precisely this mix makes TC the fair where you can consider everything from van life to long-distance travel all at once.
How Do I get there – and how Do I Navigate?
The Leipzig Trade Fair is very well connected by train, S-Bahn, tram, and car; on site, clear signage, info counters, and stage programs provide orientation. If you prefer a relaxed experience, come during the week or early in the day; if you’re looking for atmosphere, come in the late afternoon. And yes: comfortable shoes are recommended – the halls are large.
Accommodation for TC: Central & Relaxed – our Hotels
For short distances to the Leipzig Exhibition Centre and a relaxed exhibition base camp, we recommend our two hotels: the Hotel am Bayrischen Platz in Zentrum-Süd and the Hotel Alt-Connewitz in creative Connewitz. Both are close to the city, with fast public transport connections to the exhibition centre (e.g. via Tram 16 or S-Bahn towards “Leipzig Messe”) and many cafés, bars, and restaurants around the corner.
At the Hotel am Bayrischen Platz, you’ll stay in a classic central location between the city centre, KarLi, and Bayerischer Bahnhof – ideal if you want to soak up the city atmosphere in the evening. The Hotel Alt-Connewitz scores with its personal, family-run flair near the floodplain landscape – perfect for unwinding after a busy day at the fair. Both hotels offer a hearty breakfast, reliable Wi-Fi, and flexible check-in options.
