How to Get to Stade de la Meinau #

By car it is a short drive from the city centre via the A35 or local arterial roads (follow signs for “Meinau” or the stadium); driving time from central Strasbourg is typically around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic.
The stadium is also served by Strasbourg’s public transport network (trams and buses); from the nearest tram/bus stop it is a short walk to the stadium entrance - check the CTS network for current stop names and services on match/event days.
Tips for Visiting Stade de la Meinau #
- Use Strasbourg's tram network (Meinau stop on line C) rather than driving - match-day tram access is frequent and avoids the very limited stadium parking.
- Arrive at least 60-90 minutes before kick-off to clear security and join pre-match fan zones; queues at entrances and turnstiles grow sharply in the final hour.
- If you want a quieter exit, leave a few minutes before full time and use the side streets east or north of the stadium to avoid the concentrated fan flows toward main tram stops.
Best Time to Visit Stade de la Meinau #
