Public Transport First: Fast via Nuremberg Main Station to Fürth

Fürth is very well connected to public transport. For many travelers, Nuremberg Main Station is the most reliable hub (long-distance/regional transport) for changing trains towards Fürth.

• U‑Bahn U1: Direct from Nuremberg Main Station to Fürth (including Fürth Rathaus, Jakobinenstraße, Klinikum Fürth, Hardhöhe). Convenient for destinations in the city center and along the U1.
• S‑Bahn S1: Nuremberg Main Station – Fürth Main Station – towards Bamberg. Useful if you want to arrive at Fürth Main Station or join from the surrounding area.
• Regional trains: Many connections run via Nuremberg/Fürth; for event days, the combination “arrival up to Nuremberg Main Station + short transfer” is often the most robust.

Planning tip for event days: Save two options before departure (e.g. U1 and S1) – in case of platform changes, disruptions, or high occupancy.

From Nuremberg Airport to Fürth

If you arrive at Nuremberg Airport, the standard route is by U‑Bahn:

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

Depending on the event location, get off at a suitable U‑Bahn station in Fürth or change at Fürth Main Station to bus/S‑Bahn. For late returns: Check the last connections before the event, as schedules may vary depending on the time of day.

Bus Network & U‑Bahn in Fürth: Short Distances to the Location

In Fürth, the U‑Bahn line U1 and a dense city bus network ensure short distances. Many event venues are within a few minutes' walk from the stop.

Check connections, transfers, and frequency for your date in the VGN timetable information. There you will also usually find information about detours, disruptions, additional services, and barrier-free connections.

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

Around the Sportpark, space is limited on match and event days. Parking directly at the venue or on nearby areas may be restricted. Arrival by train and bus – and the last meters on foot – is often more predictable.

• By train to Fürth Main Station: Arrival by regional train, S‑Bahn or U‑Bahn (U1) to Fürth.
• Continue from Fürth Main Station: City buses connect the main station with the stadium area; depending on the event, additional buses may be deployed.
• Last meters: Stops in the area are within walking distance. On site, follow the signage and instructions from security staff.
• Fan/travel buses: Separate areas are usually provided for guest fans; details are published in the official event information.

Important: Routes, additional services, closures, and temporary parking regulations may vary depending on the event. The current information from the organizer, city, and transport association is decisive.

Arrival by Car: Routes, Parking, Traffic

Fürth is easily accessible via the A3, A6, A9 and especially the A73. The greatest uncertainty often arises in the last few kilometers (traffic jams, closures, parking pressure) – especially around major city center events or match days.

• Use the parking guidance system: Follow the dynamic signage and pay attention to information about available parking garages/areas.
• City center events: Preferably choose a parking garage and plan the rest of the way by U‑Bahn/bus or on foot – this reduces time lost searching for a parking space.
• Stadium and major event arrival: Depending on traffic management, certain exits or routes may be recommended. Official instructions on the event day take precedence over standard navigation.
• Park&Ride as a stress reliever: If you are flexible, park outside and take public transport for the last stretch.

Current information about parking and traffic can be found at City of Fürth: Parking & Traffic.

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

For major events in the region, changing trains at Nuremberg Main Station is often the easiest way to continue towards Fürth or to event venues without a long search.

• Nuremberg Trade Fair: Usually accessible by U‑Bahn; pay attention to the route recommended in the event information and possible additional instructions for visitor guidance.
• Parking at major events: When many visitors arrive at the same time, public transport is often the more predictable option. If you have to come by car, follow the signage and parking guidance information on site.

Use the Combination Ticket: When Your Event Ticket Is Also a Travel Pass

Many organizers in the region cooperate with VGN. If your ticket has a corresponding note/network logo, it may be valid as a travel ticket in local transport within the specified period and area.

• Typically valid in 2nd class in the designated network/validity area.
• Validity periods vary (often a few hours before the start until end of service) – what is written on your ticket is binding.
• Usually not valid on long-distance trains (ICE/IC/EC) and not in 1st class.

Check the conditions before departure so you don’t have to buy an unnecessary extra ticket.

Accessibility, Night Transport & Planning Reliability

• Barrier-free travel: Many stations and vehicles are step-free accessible. Use the filter for barrier-free connections in the timetable information if you depend on it.
• Late returns: Plan your return so that you know the last connection (U‑/S‑Bahn/bus). For major events, there may be additional services, which are announced in official notifications.
• Real-time helps: VGN information and DB Navigator usually show delays, platform changes, and alternative routes. If possible, set up push notifications for your connection.

Practical Checklist for Your Arrival

1. Set your route: Plan arrival up to Nuremberg Main Station or Fürth Main Station, then the last meters by U‑/S‑Bahn or bus.
2. Clarify ticket situation: Check combination ticket notes on the event ticket and understand the area/period of validity.
3. Read event info: Pay attention to information about admission times, visitor guidance, closures, special lines, or recommended routes.
4. Decide on parking alternative: If a car is necessary: choose parking garage/route in advance or plan Park&Ride.
5. Secure your return: Save the last connection and have an alternative route (other line/other station) ready.
