Particularly eye-catching and our recommendation as a photo hotspot: The Rosenrondell (or rose traffic circle) on Königstrasse is planted in the shape of the EURO Cup.
Arrival at the Fan Zone Schlossplatz:
In principle, the following applies: Significant visitor numbers are expected in Stuttgart over the entire period until July 14, 2024. This will also affect traffic. In addition, there may be road closures on the main roads due to certain situations, which cannot be planned in advance. These will occur on an ad hoc basis in addition to the existing closures in the city center.
The parking garages in the city center will not be accessible. There are a few parking spaces available outside the "Cityring".
After the matches (regardless of the Host City Stuttgart venue), obstructions due to motorcades must be expected. This may result in temporary road closures, especially in the city center. Additional traffic obstructions are then expected.
We therefore strongly recommend you travel by public transport or bicycle.
The U6 subway line runs every ten minutes from the airport to the "Schlossplatz" station, the journey takes 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take the S2 and S3 commuter rail lines to the main station. Travel time: 30 minutes.
The U5, U6, U7, U12 and U15 subway lines run from the main station to the "Schlossplatz" stop. The journey time is two minutes. The walk takes about ten minutes.
FAN ZONE MARKTPLATZ
The Fan Zone Marktplatz is once again the place to be for sports fans. If you like kicking the ball yourself or love gaming, this is the place for you. Tournaments, fan matches and other sporting activities take place on the soccer court. You can also drop by for a spontaneous match. There are also two gaming areas where you have plenty of options.

The program of the Fan Zone Karlsplatz revolves around culture and music. On July 1, Nuria Noba, with real name Jasmin Kleinheins, will captivate you.

Her journey began in a family of musicians and led her from making music with her sister and performing with various bands, including big bands, to writing her own songs at a young age and later to studying jazz singing. Today, she combines elements of jazz, pop and R&B thoughtfully and intuitively and, in addition to playing in various musical formations, publishes self-written songs in German and English.
Also worth a visit is the sustainability pavilion at Fan Zone Karlsplatz, which explains the various areas of sustainability and how they can be implemented in everyday life, thus contributing to education for sustainable development.
