Arriving by train

Stuttgart's main train station, or Hauptbahnhof, is just east of the city centre, a few minutes walk from all the action. Inside, the DB ReiseZentrum railroad travel agency (open 08:00-20:00, Sat 09:00-16:00, Sun 13:00-18:00, longer during the World Cup) sells all tickets. The Arnulf-Klett-Passage is a large underground commercial centre that connects the station with the VVS regional trains and trams; find the VVS-Kundenzentrum public transport customer service centre here (open 09:00-18:30, Sat 09:00-16:00, Sun 11:00-16:00). It also connects directly to Königstrasse, the main shopping mile and pedestrian artery of Stuttgart, with the tourist information centre.
