By Public Transport
The fastest way to Messe Stuttgart
In 27 minutes to the trade fair center on a direct connection – two city train lines (S-Bahn) S2 and S3 offer the fastest way to get from Stuttgart Main Station to Airport and Fair. The stop is only 200m away (or an 8 minutes' walk) from the entrance to the trade fair centre.
Almost as quick are visitors who take the tram line U6 that terminates right at the Messepiazza (a 6-minute’s walk from the Entrance East) with an additional trade fair stop at the Entrance West.
Find more information at Stuttgart’s public transport association (VVS).
In addition, you can arrive by bus at the Stuttgart Airport Bus Terminal for regional and long-distance busses.

Saturday and Sunday: Easy journey to INTERGASTRA despite construction work
Deutsche Bahn will be carrying out work on the rail infrastructure in the Stuttgart area from 16 January to 9 February 2026. Some tracks will have to be closed in various sections and periods for the construction work. This affects the S2 and S3 urban railway lines, which run to Messe Stuttgart and thus also to INTERGASTRA.
