Welcome to Stuttgart!
We are delighted to welcome you as Atlético de Madrid fans for the UEFA Champions League match between VfB Stuttgart and Atlético de Madrid at the MHP Arena.
Please take note of the following important information regarding your journey and stay:
Match Information
Stadium Opening: 19:00
Kick-off: 21:00
Please plan your journey so that you have enough time for the fanwalk and security checks at the entrance.
Travel from Stuttgart Airport to the city
From Stuttgart Airport, follow the signs to the S-Bahn (suburban train) station. Take the S2 or S3 in the direction of Stuttgart city centre.
Stay on the train until Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (Stuttgart Central Station). The journey takes approximately 25–30 minutes.
Stay in the City Centre
Fans are allowed to stay throughout the entire city centre. For your trip to the stadium, we recommend taking the U4 light rail to Untertürkheim (use stop "Rathaus") or the S1 suburban train to Untertürkheim station (use stop "Stadtmitte"). This train travels in the direction of Kirchheim (Teck).
In the city centre, there are two relevant stations if you are taking the S1 suburban train: Stadtmitte and Hauptbahnhof (tief) (the underground station at the main railway station). You can use Google Maps to find out which station is the most convenient for you to reach.
