ARRIVAL
JAZZ OPEN
Where the music plays
The Jazz Open is purely a city festival. The stages in Stuttgart's valley are no more than 50 metres away from the festival centre on Schlossplatz or can be reached on foot in five or ten minutes at the most. Getting there is also relatively easy.
Lockers at Schlossplatz
Who hasn’t experienced this? You come straight from work or a quick shopping trip to Jazz Open and suddenly don’t know where to put your bags.
In general, we recommend leaving large bags at home. However, for those who can’t avoid bringing them, lockers will be available on event days at Schlossplatz to safely store bags and backpacks.
Large lockers will be available on site in the following size: 36 cm x 25 cm x 30 cm.
Availability is limited. To be on the safe side, you can reserve a locker in advance. How does it work? Simply click the linkbelow, select your preferred day and locker size, and enjoy Jazz Open without any hassle.
Bookings can also be made on site; payment is cashless only.
Please note that only bags up to a maximum size of A4 are permitted on the event grounds.

Here is where you should get off
For the concerts at Schlossplatz and in the Altes Schloss, get off at Schlossplatz or Charlottenplatz. The BIX Jazzclub is within sight of the Rathaus stop. The SpardaWelt Eventcenter is 300 metres from the Hauptbahnhof.
By car
If you are coming from out of town - via the A8, A81 or A831 - always take the Stuttgart Zentrum or Stuttgart-Mitte exit. If you follow the road towards the city centre, you will automatically end up on the city ring road. The approach via the B10/B14, B27 and B295 also leads to the Stadtring. Follow the signs for free parking spaces in the city centre car parks and choose one. Whichever one you choose - from there it is never far to your desired stage on foot. But be careful! The journey to the city centre can sometimes take a while due to the intense traffic!
