Antalya EXPO Center: Location and Getting There from the Airport
COP31 takes place from 9 to 20 November 2026 at the Antalya EXPO Center in Aksu, on the eastern side of Antalya. The venue sits close to Antalya Airport and between the city's main hotel areas, which makes the trip from your hotel short for most visitors.
Where the Antalya EXPO Center is
The Antalya EXPO Center is in the Aksu district, north-east of Antalya Airport, on the road towards Belek and Side. The UNFCCC lists its address as Solak Alanya Yolu Serik Caddesi, Aksu – Antalya. The site was built for the EXPO 2016 horticultural exhibition and is surrounded by landscaped parkland.

Ways to get to the venue
Official COP31 shuttles
According to the UNFCCC, complimentary shuttles will run across the Antalya region during COP31, stopping only at hotels listed on the official COP31 accommodation platform. Routes and stops are published on the COP31 transportation map. If your hotel is on the network, check the timetable before you plan anything else.
Taxi
Official taxis are available at Antalya Airport and across the city and charge by the meter. For short trips between the airport, Lara and the venue they are a simple option; for Belek, Side or Kemer the fare grows with distance.
Private transfer
A pre-booked private transfer gives you a fixed price per vehicle, a driver waiting at arrivals and a vehicle sized to your group and luggage. It is useful if your hotel is not on the shuttle network, if you arrive outside shuttle hours or if you travel as a team.
