Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart is far more regular than that. trains depart 7.54, 8.54, 9.20, 9.54, 10.54, 11.20 etc takes just over an hour.

The station is in the airport, I'd suggest going straight there and checking out the next train the Stuttgart.

www.bahn.de has the timetable.

N oreal idea re the fryup but an Irish bar in Stuttgart is a bette rbet than Frankfurt airport.

I see what you mean, doesnt seem to be too far from the stadium though.

I'm so jealous.

11 of us went to the Dam for 2 nights before the Swiss match few years ago. Oh Jesus, how we ever made it onto the train to Basle, i never will know. Enjoy.

Yes it is walking distance to the stadium. Camped there for Euro88. It has good public transport links to the city centre.

It's at the North of the city, seems to be a fair bit out of town but there's an S-Bahn station nearby. See here, very useful map site. Just put the street name into the box on the left.

Yeah we're out that way ourselves in a "central location" but I guess it's better than being told your hotel is in Basel & it turning out to be in Southern Germany!

The stadium is on Mercedesstra�e which looks like its only a train ride away anyways.

By the way we're in CITY PARTNER HOTEL FREIHOF if anyone else is.

Just a little reminder to pack the travel adaptors for the mobile chargers. Germany has different plugs and the charges may not last the full trip particularly if people are in contact over there and making the calls home to "the mammy"

Hopefully we won't have a blackout like Paris
