How to Get to Carrow Road#
Carrow Road stadium is in Norwich, close to the city centre. From Norwich Railway Station it’s an easy walk of about 15-20 minutes (roughly 1 km) along city streets toward the river, or take local buses that serve the Carrow Road area. By road follow the A147/A140 approaches into Norwich; expect limited matchday parking and use public transport where possible.
Tips for Visiting Carrow Road#
- On match days arrive at least 30-45 minutes before kick-off to clear turnstiles and find your seat without the last‑minute crush; local public-transport guidance and steward directions cut through neighbourhood traffic better than driving.
- If you can visit on a non-match day, check for stadium tours run by the club-these give access to areas (players' tunnel, press seats, behind-the-scenes) that most match-day visitors don't see.
Best Time to Visit Carrow Road#
