Getting to 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 location), 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 that 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

"It's not easy to feel at home between two chairs - Man, we stack them and sit on both." This line from the band RAHÎ's song "Xerîbim" sums up their attitude: having grown up as children of two cultures, they take the best of both worlds and form a hybrid identity - nothing else is an option. The same applies to their music - the diverse influences of the individual band members come together to form a style that has never been heard before. Authentic lyrics in German collide with touching, catchy melodies, driven by creative instrumentals. RAHÎ, consisting of the siblings Rager and Hizir as well as the musician and producer Şahin (JAHİN), create all songs on their own in their home studio in Stuttgart.
