How to Get to Volkswagen Arena #
Volkswagen Arena is in Wolfsburg city centre. Take long‑distance or regional trains to Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof and walk about 10-20 minutes (roughly 1-1.5 km) to the arena; by car Wolfsburg is reached via the A2 motorway, and it’s about a 45-75 minute drive from Hannover depending on traffic (roughly 70-80 km).
Tips for Visiting Volkswagen Arena #
- Arrive via Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof and use the short local bus/taxi link or a 20-30 minute walk through Allerpark rather than trying to drive in at peak times.
- Book match tickets or stadium tours in advance; tours are easiest on non-match days and give behind-the-scenes access that you won't get on game day.
- Combine a visit with the adjacent Autostadt complex and its museum-many visitors miss how close and complementary the car museum and park are to the stadium.
Best Time to Visit Volkswagen Arena #
If you want the stadium atmosphere, attend during the football season (autumn-spring); for quieter visits, come in summer when there are fewer matches.
