Messe Wien, The Biggest Trade Fair In Austria. Editorial Image

Messe Wien is the biggest trade fair in Austria and one of the most important economic factors of Vienna. This venue failed to win the bid for hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, after Conchita Wurst won the final in 2014. Messe Wien has an area of 15 hectares, 55,000 m² of exhibition space, an adjoining congress center and an office tower with an idiosyncratic, pointed steel construction. It is considered the landmark of the exhibition center. The trade fair, which is relatively small in international comparison, handles around 20 events a year, mainly trade fairs open to the public. The cylindrical trade fair tower with its stepped top floors has a construction class height of 26 m and, in contrast to the other trade fair components, is in operation all year round. The trade fair steel tower set up on the recessed top floor forms the new trade fair landmark with its illuminated spire total height 96 m visible from afar. This component has a full basement.
