Stuttgart
Arrival & Transport
Arriving by car
Stuttgart is connected to the Autobahn network with the A8 to Munich to the south-east and Karlsruhe to the north-west, and the A81 heading south to Singen and the Swiss border, and north Heilbronn and Würtzburg. When arriving, follow the S-Zentrum signs, and use P+R to keep your parking costs low (see Transport). Keep an eye out for Mercedes prototypes being taken for a spin on the Autobahns around Stuttgart or in the city itself. Areas to try to avoid during rush-hour include Pragsattel on the route from the A81 from Ludwigsburg to the centre; A8 direction Karlsruhe around Pforzheim; A81 direction south from Stuttgart to Herrenberg on Fridays and holidays.
