From the fan zone Barfüsserplatz / city centre, follow the signs along Freie Strasse / St. Alban-Graben / St. Alban-Vorstadt / Gellertstrasse. From this route you will arrive in the north of the stadium. You will find bicycle parking spaces to the north-east of the stadium in Birsstrasse.

• Total time on foot: approx. 40 minutes

The St. Jakob motorway exit will be closed around three hours and the roads around St. Jakob-Park around five hours before the start of the match. The St. Jakob multi-storey car park will be closed during the opening and final matches and only a reduced number of parking spaces will be available for the remaining matches. The same applies to the multi-storey car park at the St. Jakob-Park shopping centre, where there will also be fewer parking spaces available. We therefore strongly recommend travelling by public transport.

On match days, the Horburg multi-storey car park with 800 parking spaces will be available from 12:00 noon. You can reach it via the ‘Basel-Kleinhüningen’ motorway exit and from there take tram line 14 (Brombacherstrasse stop) directly to the stadium.

From France, we recommend using the ‘P&R Gare de St-Louis’ car park. This can be reached via the St-Louis exit, from where you can take tram line 3 to Basel.

Further information on car parks in Basel can be found here.

By public transport:

To get to St. Jakobshalle or St. Jakob-Park, we recommend taking tram line 14. The St. Jakob tram stop is barrier-free. For people travelling from the SBB railway station, we recommend changing to tram line 14 at the Bankverein tram stop.
Basel St. Jakob station is not barrier-free, so the train connections between Basel SBB station and Basel St. Jakob are not recommended for people with disabilities.

By car:

Only drive to the stadium if you have a confirmed parking permit issued by the UEFA ticketing team. All holders of a confirmed parking permit will receive an access map and information on how to access the car park with their parking permit.

By taxi/carpool:

Due to road closures and traffic restrictions around the stadium, travelling by carpool is not recommended. You can take a taxi to St. Jakobskirche (St. Jakobs-Strasse 375), which is around 100 metres from the stadium.
