FIRA DE BARCELONA - GRAN VIA
*Early Entry
Halls 1, 2, 3, 8.0 (Audio Demo Rooms) and the Upper Walkway will open at 09:00 on each of the four days of ISE 2026.
Providing access to parts of the show ahead of the main opening time reduces queues outside Fira and makes for a more even distribution of visitors across the venue each morning. This was introduced at ISE 2024 and has been extended for ISE 2026.
Cloakrooms
There are 6 cloakrooms available. One cloakroom is located on the right hand side at the South Entrance. Two additional ones are in the outdoor area between the South Access and Hall 1. Two more in the East Access and another one is in Hall 8.0 next to Audio Demo Rooms at the North Access. Also you can store there your luggage or a suitcase. The cloakrooms are free of charge.
