Getting there

Getting there by train

Visit afsport.lat for more information.

  • At the “Othmarschen” S-Bahn station (barrier-free), a free shuttle bus for away fans will be available from 6:30 pm, taking you close to the away entrance. You can reach Othmarschen from the main station on the S1 S-Bahn line (green line). The last return trip back to Othmarschen departs around 90 minutes after the final whistle.
  • The number of parking spaces around the Volksparkstadion is limited. Experience shows that the city and the motorway around the Elbe Tunnel are very busy during rush hour. It is therefore recommended to arrive as early as possible and allow plenty of extra time.
  • In general, the “Red,” “Green,” “Grey,” and “Blue” car parks are available on matchday. Please note that the car parks—especially on the north side of the stadium—may also be used by home fans.
  • After leaving the motorway, please follow the signs to the Volksparkstadion and the parking guidance system. If you use a navigation system, please note that Uwe-Seeler-Allee is closed on matchdays.
  • Due to the closure of the “Brown” car park on Schnackenburgallee, this road must be avoided when accessing the “Red,” “Grey,” and “Blue” car parks.
  • The parking fee for cars is 10 euros.
  • The “Red” car park opens at 1:00 pm on matchday. All other car parks available at the stadium open at 4:30 pm.

Getting there by coach

  • Coaches park in the bus parking area on Schnackenburgallee. Access is via the HH-Volkspark motorway exit.
  • The car park opens at 4:30 pm on matchday.
  • The parking fee for coaches is 30 euros.

Due to the local conditions, delays when leaving the car parks after the match are to be expected.

  • Heavily intoxicated persons will not be admitted to the stadium.
