Travel information
By air
All flights from Europe and beyond land at Stuttgart International Airport
The international airport code is STR (useful if you’re checking for flights online).
Carriers from the UK include: Lufthansa, British Airways, German Wings, and Flybe.
From the airport to Stuttgart main station, Bad Cannstatt, SpOrt, or Esslingen,Take the S-Bahn (this is a municipal railway something like a cross between an underground train and an over ground train) which is accessible from terminal 1.
The S2 and S3 lines both go directly from the airport to Stuttgart’s main railway station (Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof). The trains run every 10 – 15 minutes. The journey to Stuttgart main station takes about 25 minutes.
You cannot buy tickets on the trains; you have to buy them from the orange VVS machines. A single ticket costs (Feb 2012) Euro 3.50.
To continue on to Bad Cannstatt, Neckarpark Mercedes Benz (for the venue), or Esslingen, change trains at the main station. Get off the S2 or S3, remain on the same platform and wait for the next S1 towards Plochingen to take you directly to your preferred destination.
A ticket from Stuttgart main station (Hauptbahnhof) to Neckarpark on the S1 costs Euros 2.60, the journey takes 7 minutes. A ticket from Esslingen main station to Neckarpark, on the S1, also costs Euros 2.60. The journey takes 9 minutes.
You can also reach the venue by taking the U-Bahn, the U11 to Neckarpark (Stadiom), or bus number 56 to Fritz-Walter-Weg.
By train
Take the train to Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (main station) and take the S1 onwards to your destination, following the directions above.
By car
SpOrt is easily accessible from both the B10 and B14 (which look and feel like motorways, but officially are called ‘fast roads’).
There are 200 free parking spaces available for BESIG delegates, speakers and exhibitors in the multistory car park P7 right next door to the venue (use the entrance in Martin-Schrenk-Weg).
