Where will the Bijutsu at 18th+19th July 2026 take place?
This Bijutsu will take place in 'Stadthalle Ratingen', Schützenstraße 1, 40878 Ratingen, Germany.
Ratingen is a small city close to Düsseldorf. If you plan to come by flight or train, we would recommend flying / driving to Düsseldorf (DUS - airport or Düsseldorf main station). From Düsseldorf main station you'd need to take an underground train to 'Ratingen Mitte' - station.
