The fastest way to reach Messe Stuttgart is by public transport.
The S2 and S3 S-Bahn lines will take you from Stuttgart Central Station to the Flughafen/Messe stop in approx. 27 minutes without changing trains – the exhibition centre stop is approx. 200 m (≈ 8 min. walk) from the exhibition centre entrance. Alternatively, you can also take the U6 city railway line directly to the exhibition grounds; it runs to the Flughafen/Messe terminus (approx. 6 minutes' walk from the East Entrance) and stops at Messe West, for example, on the way.
