By bike
The Stuttgart Spring Festival is very easy to reach by bicycle. A total of four parking spaces are available for visitors around the festival grounds:
Parking spaces for bicycles and motorised two-wheelers:
- under the Willi-Daume-Steg in the area of car park P10
- at the entrance to the in.Stuttgart administration building (to the left of the entrance gate to the Wasen)
- at the "Cannstatter Wasen" tram stop (SSB Mercedesstraße crossing)
Parking space for bicycles only:
- at the Krämermarkt entrance near König-Karls-Brücke
You can find the exact locations on the location plan.
No fees are charged for the use of the parking spaces.
This is what you should bear in mind if you are arriving by bike:
- Bicycle helmets and bicycle bags (larger than DIN A4) may not be taken into the marquee. Therefore, there is a helmet and luggage storage. They are located in an office container in front of the white building of the in.Stuttgart Veranstaltungsgesellschaft.
- Bicycle drinking bottles as well as long air pumps may not be taken onto the festival grounds.
- The festival grounds are to be considered a pedestrian zone. This means: if necessary, dismount on the last few metres, push the bike and patiently go through the control of the stewards.
- There is also a blood alcohol limit for bicycles and pedelecs. Penalties can be imposed for as little as 0.3 per mille. The second blood-alcohol level limit for bicycles (absolute inability to drive) is 1.6 per mille.
- There are large numbers of visitors at the Spring Festival. Therefore, all visitors – whether on foot, by car or by bicycle – must show mutual consideration.
