Thanks to its location between the airport and motorway, our Trade Fair Centre has an incomparable traffic infrastructure. Direct connections to the A8 motorway, the B27 trunk road, the airport, the S-Bahn (rapid-transit railway) and, in future, the planned railway station for local and long-distance trains will ensure that visitors and exhibitors will be able to travel quickly and easily to the Trade Fair Centre. The journey times to a large number of hotels are also surprisingly short. Stuttgart city centre can be reached in around 20 minutes by S-Bahn (rapid-transit railway).

Welcome to the Stuttgart Region

Some 2.7 million people live and work in the Stuttgart Region, approximately 600,000 in the City of Stuttgart itself. Thanks to the excellent public transport infrastructure, idyllic countryside is only a short train ride from the heart of the metropolis. The Stuttgart Region comprises a vibrant major city, hundreds of small and medium-size towns, as well as a large number of villages. And no matter where you choose to live, sports facilities, countryside, and a wide range of cultural events are never far away.

The site of the new Stuttgart trade fair centre is unique in Europe and produces an incomparable location advantage:

Airport

There are direct flights to 112 destinations in 34 countries from Stuttgart airport. "Low-cost airlines" also serve Stuttgart airport.

Rail

Stuttgart is connected to the ICE rail network. The journey time from Cologne to Stuttgart, for example, is only 130 minutes

Munich >> Stuttgart >> 140 min.

Frankfurt >> Stuttgart >> 75 min.

Zurich >> Stuttgart >> 170 min.

Public transport

The rapid transit railway (S-Bahn) connects Stuttgart main station and airport directly and thus also serves the new Stuttgart trade fair centre. An additional underground line from the main station to the new trade fair centre is also planned.
