Local Tips

  • The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) is approximately 1 hour west — scenic and highly recommended.
  • S-Bahn S2/S3 from STR to Stuttgart Hbf takes ~30 min — direct from the airport.
  • Free Now and Uber work at STR — pickup at the designated zone outside arrivals.
  • Surge spikes during major Messe Stuttgart events and Wasen / Cannstatter Volksfest (autumn).
  • Long-distance Deutsche Bahn ICE trains can link STR or its city to other major German cities — often a smarter alternative to a domestic flight.
