Arrived here for a train transfer. The surrounding area has various constructions. There were multiple colored lines on the ground. The path to the travel service center was in blue. There were ten service counters to be five on each side. There were also bank counters and the Sixt rental car counter. The restrooms were only for DB Lounge patrons. read more

CONSTRUCTION GOING ON SO GETTING TO S BAHN A PAIN ================================================= My husband and I took one of the regional trains from Munich to Stuttgart on Monday, April 20, 2026 and this train station was a bit chaotic. We planned to take the S Bahn to the Porscheplatz from there, but there were so many detours and people to wade through. We ended up just breaking down and taking an expensive taxi. On the way back we were able to take the S Bahn which saved us a lot of money. Give yourself plenty of time when dealing with this train station. read more

A smaller station with 16 platforms . We went back to the Munchen airport with only one change. (3 hours) Saw a handful of restaurants-Cafe, sandwiches, poke/Sushi, Burger King and a Starbucks. One of the coffee stands was open early at 4:30 am. Small, enclosed waiting area with about 25 seats on platform 2 side. The short term issue, currently (March,23), is they are renovating the station. Will be nice when it is completed but for now there are longer walks to the taxi queue and exits. read more

I suddenly think Stuttgart central station. Well, when I visited here, that time was on December, 2019. At that time, the station was still under construction, and I wondered if the station finished its construction. According to the bulletin board at the station when I visited to, the construction was called "Stuttgart 21", and the project was supposed to finish at 2021. Because of pandemic, I couldn't go to Germany during two years, and after three years, this year, I can't go to it as usual. So, I think what the station become now, and I want to check it by internet. The construction is continuing now. When I visited here, it was under construction, so there are only a few shops and restaurant were open in the station. And now, it isn't complete yet. Maybe, it is inconvenient for users. According to homepage of station, the complete' year will be 2025. It's terrible:). read more

Big enough for a medium sized city, the Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof is the main station for the city and is the central hub for the S-Bahn and U-Bahn networks. There is a serious amount of construction going on but the signage was good enough to get from the U12 stop through the underground section and to the regional platforms. The station is currently built as a "terminus" and they're working to build new platforms and rails to make it into a "through" station. That's going to be a few more years of digging and detours. There are display screens through out the station but, I bought my ticket online and was reminded of the platform ("Gleise" is track") and train section to look for. Most signs, even the temporary ones, in German and English. At the platform, another display indicating the train destination and stops. Restaurants, coffee shops and some other small shops in the station. I don't know if there are elevators everywhere but I was able to find escalators for most spots which is certainly helpful with luggage. Overall, a positive experience.

Someone needs to get to work on this nightmare of a train station. I'm told it's been under refurbishment for the last 10 years. Sidewalks all around are uneven, making for hazardous conditions just trying to get to your train. Arriving here is much easier than leaving. read more

Despite heavy construction, the team made it through to the connecting train. Staff helped change tickets and guide us the right direction. Super helpful german signs are easily visible despite it already being a bit dark. The station and trains are very safe, with guards always patrolling and helping where needed. Missing one star due to the dirty ness and lackluster selection of travel foods. Slightly boring building in itself, but super convenient layout. My team especially like the 'pick-ups' from Leibnitz in the Selecta machine. Sucks you can't pay with bills, only coins though... read more

The Stuttgart main station is actually a fairly decent train station that can get pretty crowded at times. The station itself can be a bit confusing but a seasoned traveller will get through it quite easily. The station itself has ample dining, a bunch of luggage lockers, good taxi service and a Starbucks. Overall, this station is not a bad option to get you around Europe. Pros- Spacious Downtown location Lots of connections Dining Starbucks Cons- Not so friendly ticket folks Somewhat confusing read more

Currently undergoing a massive renovation project, Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof is almost a building site, with only the platforms, and a long tunnel to the amenities accessible. The station has the usual: Starbucks, Nordsee, etc. The S and U-Bahn are accessible underground, and it doesn't matter which escalators one takes, they all lead to the same area. To get away from the station, it is likely one has to take the S or U Bahn as the only things that are nearby that are walking distance due to the Autobahn is Schlossplatz and shopping precinct, but they are beautiful and worth a visit. read more

I rarely rate things, but S Baun in Stuttgart has a habit of stopping long enough for the doors to open, let people get off, then not stay open long enough for people to get on. I'm writing this this time after being about 25 feet from the train with a stroller right after the train arrived, then not being able to make it and having to wait 25 minutes for the next train. Some trains take 30 seconds, some take like 7. Need to moderate a minimum time. Also wish there was more room via fold down seats for bikes and strollers considering how many people here have bikes and strollers, but not the reason I'm complaining right now. read more

I won't bore you with details. For those, read the dozens of excellent World War II novels that have been written. Goodbyes and farewells. Speaking with deceased people in German before they were deceased, even though they thought I was speaking English. What happened to that patient patient man? Singen, yes, Singen. Rental-car snafus and that strange character with the weird hair. UFOs have visited many places. You know about foo fighters, right? And the Battle of Los Angeles? I'm not talking about '90s music; I'm talking about World War II. But I said I wouldn't, so I'll stop. The trains get a-moving, or, a-movin'. They feel much larger, sturdier, blockier than their Hamburgian counterparts. And yet. I wonder about forced marches and inadvertent avian witnesses. Did you know that sparrows--no, I won't bring that up again. Sometimes, I miss crows. And last week, I saw a hawk push a crow off its preferred branch. Hawks are always surprising me with how big they are. read more

Stuttgart Main Station is in a really good location within Stuttgart, it's right in the center of city and close to the main shopping street Königstraße. From the outside at the entrance the Main Station building looks very nice with a large, rotating and illuminated Mercedes-Benz symbol on the top of 12-storey tower and considered one of Stuttgart sightseeings. The Main Station is also very close to buses, so you can easily find all transport connections. Inside of the building there are a lot of small shop where you can find sweets, fastfood, drinks, newspapers and books Announcements always inform passengers when a train is coming and also in case of any delays. read more

The main train station here is aqequately large and has trains heading all over Germany (and Paris too!) and while it lacks somewhat in entertainment (if you're waiting for three hours for a connecting train!) it's organized and easy to navigate although there are areas that still need escalators! This station is actually a DB train station, an S bahn station and a U bahn station so once you arrive to Stuttgart there's a BIG chance that you don't need to take a taxi or a bus and just head for your appropraite train! There are some shops, a McDonald's, cafes and the likes. Plain and simple, it's a well situated (mid-down town!) station! read more

I start by saying this is not so much as a review but an assistance or tip. Walking into Stuttgart's Central Station can be a bit daunting if you don't regularly use metro type transportation. I've done DC, New York, Chicago but I live in an area where Metro describes a man's look not travel. Luckily there is a check in help desk just up the stairs from the entrance. Look for the Bahn Reisezentrum. The young polite reception will assist with all questions and typically you can find someone to help you in your native language. read more

One of the most stressful places to be at. The construction work out there is taking forever. The station needs cleaning and a bit of more organization read more

Be it that it may be a mid-sized train station it has all the great eateries and restaurants like bakeries, seafood, cafes like my favorite Coffee Fellows. Architecturally speaking it makes good sense: uniform and square. Still grand in height. Not being a major city with masses and masses of people make this place calmer than larger stations. Less people means less chaos. Personally, I did not notice any major need of information or directions, everything is laid out nicely. Those simple electronic signs are perfect to show where to go. Each platform is right there and not hard to find within that square design. Entrances and exits are easy to find. And there is a bit of walking, but not too much. And being that there was no delay in trains or long wait; this station is a good in my book. read more

I really dislike that there is no grocery store in this Hbf, but only a food court of fattening options. That said, it's a small, straightforward, non-labyrinthine station, so that's a bonus. read more

This is the main train station in the Stuttgart area. It's undergoing some major construction, but from what I can see on a daily basis- this has no effect on the train traffic either to or from the station at this time. The train station has some shopping and restaurants, there is the large shopping area of downtown Stuttgart just outside the station, and if you need to overnight in Stuttgart, there are multiple options. There is a coffee shop with free wifi called Coffee Fellows inside the main station on the upper level, and a small adjacent grocery store. Taxis and buses are right outside the station for your convenience. read more

it is a big fat construction site. And not easy to navigate if you don't know were to go already.

Beautiful place in Stuttgart Germany !! I love it !! The mall is close and Is a lot to do around this place !! You really going to annoying the time in this place read more

Main station in Stuttgart. This is the hub of all busses, intercity trains, and even ICE trains.

OK I really don't know how to rate this train station (I'm from Florida, we don't have major/mass transit). I had a difficult time getting myself oriented to regional travel and distance travel, and street location once I walked out of the station. I felt safe while I was trying to figure everything out, good police presences. The staff was kind and helpful, don't be afraid to ask for help, the kiosk can be even more confusing. I supposed seasoned travelers should have no problem, but novice travelers (like me) may need a little extra help. read more

WARNING! If you're using this station for the first time make sure you are getting on the correct train. Reason is the train you're supposed to take may be parked behind another train on the same platform. We were bound for Nuremberg last weekend and the LED display on the platform said Nuremberg with our departure time on it. We were on the correct platform. There was a train parked right there. We would have boarded that train assuming it was the correct one. But after double checking with a platform attendant it turned out our train was parked behind the first one. If we had gotten on the first train without double checking we would have ended up elsewhere. We later asked people who used Stuttgart regularly HBF and it seems this is a new practice (parking double trains on the same platform, one behind the other, with no proper notification). read more

Medium sized train station serving as a hub which connects stuttgart to many other locations throughout Germany. The self service ticket machines are efficient IF you know what you're doing. Otherwise, wait in line to speak with staff who were not super helpful nor informative. We went to the info desk to get a general ball park price for a ticket and were actually told "I don't know, go look at the machine and see for yourself" Gee, thanks for your help, info desk lady. As far as food options there's tons of usual greasy fast food options as well as a hidden nook with a bar and some quick german bites. Pro tip: there is also a no pay required toilet in this area as well which was kept quite clean. There is no free wifi in the station at all. Womp womp. Finally, if you're looking to exchange money this is basically the only place in town that will do it unless you have an account with a local bank. Of course it comes at a steep price. At the day of my visit the exchange rate was 89 euro for 100 USD but they only wanted to give a measly 76. No thanks. Finally went downstairs to see where the trains arrive and depart. Tons of sketchy characters looming around but an equally large police presence to discourage troublemakers. Ok train station which serves the purpose of transport but nothing spectacular at all. I've been to better train stations before without a doubt read more
