In general: For the entire UEFA EURO 2024 period until July 14, 2024, Stuttgart is expected to be very busy. This will also affect traffic. In addition, there may be occasional road closures on the main roads that cannot be planned in advance. These will occur ad hoc in addition to the already existing closures in the central city center.

The car parks in the city center are not accessible. A few parking facilities are available outside the city ring. After the matches (regardless of the location, Host City Stuttgart), car parades are likely to cause disruption. This may lead to temporary road closures, especially in the city center. Additional traffic disruptions are expected.

We therefore strongly recommend to travel by public transport or bicycle.

From the airport, the U6 underground line runs every ten minutes to the Schlossplatz station, with a journey time of 30 minutes. Alternatively, S-Bahn lines S2 and S3 can be taken to the main railway station. Journey time: 30 minutes.

From the main railway station, the underground lines U5, U6, U7, U12 and U15 take you to Schlossplatz. The journey takes two minutes. The walk from there to the Fan Zone Schlossplatz takes about ten minutes.

FAN ZONE MARKTPLATZ
Our 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 football pitch. You can also drop by for a spontaneous match. You can play as much as you like in the two gaming areas at Fan Zone Marktplatz.
