Your visit to the Staatsgalerie

To walk from the Hauptbahnhof (main station; about 12 min.), take the Königstrasse exit and immediately turn right, continue past the Stuttgart City “i-Punkt” tourist information centre towards the Oberer Schlossgarten and Schauspielhaus. Following the signs, take the barrier-free route through the Schlossgarten to Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse.
Cross at the traffic lights. Continue 80 metres to the Staatsgalerie entrance on your right. The entrance is barrier-free.

Alternative route (not barrier-free):
On reaching the Oberer Schlossgarten, cross it in the direction of the Opernhaus. Between the Landtag and the Opernhaus, a broad path leads to a pedestrian underpass. On the opposite side of the road, you will be able to see the postmodern building ensemble which includes the Haus der Geschichte, the Musikhochschule and the Kammertheater as well as the Staatsgalerie. After crossing the road, turn left and continue past the large water basin. About 100 metres further on, a ramp on the right leads up to the museum entrance.  

Take the bus or Stadtbahn (see numbers below) to the “Staatsgalerie” stop (about 6 minutes’ walk from the museum. Note that this route is presently not barrier-free!)

Bus: 40, 42
Stadtbahn: U1, U2, U4, U9, U14

Turn left, continue along Willy-Brandt-Strasse and across the major intersection. From here, the old Staatsgalerie building is already visible. Continue straight ahead along Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse, following the signs, until you reach the steps and pedestrian ramp leading up to the museum entrance on your left.

Alternatively, take the Stadtbahn (see numbers below) to the “Charlottenplatz” stop (about 8 minutes’ walk from the museum).

Stadtbahn: U5, U6, U7, U12, U15

Please use the exit marked “Schlossgarten” and follow the footpath past the Landtag to the pedestrian underpass by the Opernhaus. Once you are on the other side of the road, turn left and continue walking towards the Staatsgalerie. After about 100 metres you will reach the path up to the museum entrance.
