Hosting its own international airport, STR, Stuttgart is easy to access for the rest of Europe and indeed the world. Home to around 60 airlines, flights are available to and from 110 destinations across 33 countries.
The airport is well connected to the city with regular transfer options. Simply take the S‑2 or S‑3 S-Bahn bus lines, which run between two to four times an hour depending on the time of day.
Additionally, the journey between Stuttgart’s main train station and the airport is only about half an hour by public transport and requires no transfer.
The city has an extensive public transportation network that includes buses, underground, and overground trains. Transportation runs from early in the morning until late at night, depending on your destination, and night buses run through the evening on weekends.
A further eco-friendly and more athletic way to beat traffic is taking a bicycle around town. If you don’t have your own there are plenty of shops that will rent you one for the day.
Similarly, electric bikes and e-scooters are increasingly popular in Stuttgart and offer the perfect compromise among convenience and eco-friendliness.
Stella is a local service offering Vespa-like scooters that run on electric power through an easy-to-use app.
