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 recommended you to travel by public transport or bicycle.
