Public Transport First: Fast Routes via Nuremberg Main Station to Fürth

Fürth is excellently connected to public transport. The most important transfer point in the region is Nuremberg Main Station. From there, you can reach Fürth directly:

• U-Bahn U1: Direct from Nuremberg Main Station to Fürth (including Fürth Rathaus, Jakobinenstraße, Klinikum Fürth, Hardhöhe). Short intervals, quick routes to the city center and many event locations.
• S-Bahn S1: Nuremberg Main Station – Fürth Main Station – towards Bamberg. A practical alternative to the U-Bahn, especially for arrivals from the surrounding area.
• Regional trains: Dense connections from Franconia and neighboring regions to the Nuremberg/Fürth corridor.

Tip: First plan your long-distance or regional journey to Nuremberg Main Station and then use U1 or S1 for the direct jump to Fürth. This makes the route predictable – even if you are new to the area.

From Nuremberg Airport to the Event in Fürth

For air travelers, the fastest way to Fürth is via the U-Bahn:

• U2 from the airport to Nuremberg Main Station or Plärrer, then change to U1 towards Fürth.

Depending on the event location, you can change in Fürth at a U-Bahn station or at Fürth Main Station to a bus or S-Bahn. For late arrivals, it is worth checking the timetable information, as intervals may vary in the evening.

Bus Network & U-Bahn in Fürth: Short Distances for Big Moments

In Fürth, the U-Bahn line U1 and a dense city bus network ensure short distances. Many event venues are only a few minutes' walk from stops. For the specific date, check the connection and interval in the VGN timetable information.

To the Stadium at Laubenweg (Sportpark Ronhof | Thomas Sommer)

At games and major events around the sports park, space is limited; parking directly at the venue is often only possible to a limited extent. You can arrive relaxed by public transport:

• From Fürth Main Station: City buses connect the station with the stadium area; depending on the match day, additional services are offered.
• On foot/last meters: Stops in the area are only a few minutes' walk from the stadium. Follow the event signage.
• Fan/travel buses: Separate areas are designated for guest fans; details are published by the club before the match.

Important: Routes, additional services, and closures vary on event days. Check the current recommendation from the club, city, and VGN on the match day.

Arrival by Car: Routes, Parking, Event Traffic

Fürth is easily accessible via the A3, A6, A9 and especially the A73. The real challenge is often in the last few kilometers when many arrive at the same time.

• Traffic guidance system & parking guidance system: Follow the dynamic signage in the region and the information on parking garages.
• City center events: Check parking garages in advance and, if necessary, choose a garage near a U-Bahn or bus stop to take public transport for the last stretch.
• Stadium approach: Depending on traffic management, different exits may be recommended. Official information on the event day takes precedence.

Regional Major Events: Trade Fair, Arenas & Cooperation with Nuremberg

Fürth and Nuremberg work closely together for major events. Many guests use familiar routes via Nuremberg Main Station and change there to the U1.

• Nuremberg Trade Fair: Directly with the U1 to the "Messe" stop. Depending on the event, there are additional signs, stewards, and parking guidance information.
• Parking at the trade fair: Large parking areas are signposted; if there is heavy demand, it is advisable to arrive by U-Bahn.

Use the Combination Ticket: When the Event Ticket is Also a Travel Pass

Many organizers in the region cooperate with the VGN. If your ticket has a combination note or network logo, it is valid as a travel ticket in local transport within the specified area.

• Usually valid in 2nd class within the designated area.
• Periods: usually from a few hours before the start until the end of service (details vary by event/organizer).
• Not valid on long-distance trains (ICE/IC/EC) and in 1st class.

The exact conditions are stated on your ticket and in the event information from the organizer. Check them before departure to avoid additional purchases at the machine.

Accessibility, Night Transport & Planning Security

• Accessible travel: Many U-Bahn stations and vehicles are step-free accessible. Highlight the desired route in the timetable information and filter for accessible connections.
• Late return journeys: After major events, additional services are sometimes offered. Check the last connections on the day of the event.
• Real-time & apps: VGN information and DB Navigator show delays, platform changes, and alternative routes in real time.
