Stuttgart Airport is around 13 km south of Stuttgart city center, with the A8 and B27 providing the main road connections.
The airport has four passenger terminals, and its compact layout means most facilities are within a short walk of one another.
However, your transport options are not all located in the same place: taxis are outside Terminal 1 on the Arrivals level, while the S-Bahn station is accessed from the Arrivals level via Terminals 1 and 3.
A taxi or private transfer can be more convenient if you arrive with several bags, are traveling with children, land late, or simply do not want to navigate German public transport and the airport’s different terminal access points after a long flight.

Before you travel: Stuttgart Airport taxi tips
- Stuttgart has Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4, so confirm your airline's terminal before your journey.
- Official airport information places taxis directly outside Terminal 1 on Arrivals Level 2. If you are arriving at another terminal, follow the airport signs rather than assuming the taxi rank is outside your arrival building.
- Allow extra time in winter. Stuttgart Airport can experience disruption during periods of snow and freezing weather.
- Tip: Strict rules apply to power banks, e-cigarettes, and spare rechargeable batteries. Keep them in your carry-on, not checked luggage, and check airline limits to avoid delays or confiscation.
