It is very easy to get around Leipzig on foot. You can walk from the city centre to the stadium in under half an hour, but if you want to use the city’s extensive public transport network, make sure to pick your tram stop based on the stadium entrance marked on your ticket. Some stops are much closer to your entrance than others, so plan carefully to avoid detours.
Your entrance matters!
🚪 Before you travel to the stadium, make sure to check your match ticket for the entrance that is assigned to your seat. We recommend you use the entrance specified on your ticket as it is the most comfortable way to find your block and your seat once in the stadium. Suggested matchday travel routes may differ depending on the entrance you use to enter the stadium
