Directions by road
Coming from the Karlsruhe area (i.e. from the north-west), take the A8 as far as the Degerloch exit.  Then head for Degerloch on the B27 and follow signs.  Coming from Ulm (the south east), take the A8 to the Esslingen exit.  Then take the B10

towards Stuttgart until you reach the 'Stuttgart Ost' (Stuttgart East) exit, which is close to the stadium.  Coming from the Heilbronn area (north east), take the A81 to the Zuffenhausen exit and then the B27 heading for 'Zentrum' (Centre) or 'Stadion' (Stadium). 

Car parks
There is parking for around 12,000 cars in the area around the stadium and on the neighbouring Cannstatter Wasen (Cannstatt Meadow).  Follow signs.  More information and a map of the car park locations is available here on the stadium website.  For a wider map of the area from map 24, click here.  For full directions, try also our route planner.


By public transport
