Arrival:
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. It is therefore strongly recommended 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
journey time is two minutes. The walk takes about ten minutes.
