Directions by
road
The AOL Arena, sorry FIFA World Cup Stadium, Hamburg,
is fairly close to the A7 motorway. Leave the A7 by
the Volkspark exit (the stadium used to be called the Volkspark
Stadium). Several different car parks are used for Bundesliga games and no doubt
arrangements will be similar for the World Cup. Directions to these are as
follows:

Car parks
- White Usually for badge holders only. After leaving
motorway, turn right into Schnackenburgallee. After approx. 500m, turn
left into August Kirch Strasse and follow signs
- Brown From the M-way or from the city centre, approach as
above along Schnackenburgallee.
- Red Approaching from Kieler Strasse, via the Bindsbarg
tunnel, Binsbarg and Farnhornstieg to the Hellgrundweg
- Green Approach via Luruper Strasse and Stadionstrasse
Street parking near the ground is banned and cars parked illegally
will be towed away. More information and a map of the car park locations
is available here on the HSV website. For a wider map of the area from map 24,

By public
transport
With all World Cup tickets being valid for matchday
travel on local public transport, this is the recommended way of getting to
the stadium. From the main railway station, take the S22
metro to Stellingen, from where fleets of buses
shuttle fans the last few hundred yards to the stadium. |

The shuttle buses drop you off right outside the Arena and the system
works very well for getting to the game. However, expect a long wait
to get on a bus back to Stellingen after the game - even with Teutonic
organisation it takes a long time to put tens of thousands of people onto a
fleet of buses! Journey time, without waiting, is under 25
minutes.
