How to Get to Stade de la Meinau#

Stade de la Meinau is located in the Meinau district south of central Strasbourg, roughly 3-4 km from Strasbourg cathedral/central station. 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.
